European foreword

This document (prEN 13126-3:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,

windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13126-3:2011.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

— EN 13126-3 now is independent from EN 13126-1; all necessary information is included without the

need of any further information from EN 13126-1;

— several editorial changings in the wording were made for a better understanding;

— terms 3.5 'locking mechanism', 3.5 'key operated locking mechanism', 3.15 'sample' and 3.16 'test rig'

were added and term 3.6 'key operated locking mechanism' was modified for better understanding;

— in Clause 4.1, the classification system changed completely; former digits 1 (Category of use), 4

(Fire resistance), 5 (Safety in use) and 8 (Application) were deleted; former digit 2 changed into box

1 (Durability), former digit 3 changed into box 2 (Mass), former digit 6 changed into box 3 (Corrosion

resistance), former digit 9 changed into box 4 (Test sizes); former digit 7 changed into box 5 (Security

against burglar attack) and a new box 6 (Key related security) was added;

— in Clause 4.2, new Grades for the number of cycles are defined; H1 (5 000), H2 (10 000) and H3

(20 000), see also 5.4;
— in Clause 4.10, a new example was added for the new classification;

— in Clause 5.4, new Grades for the number of cycles are defined; H1 (5 000), H2 (10 000) and H3

(20 000) in accordance with 4.2 established;

— in Clause 5.4, the number of cycles were adapted to the newly defined Grades for the durability;

— in 5.10.6, the subclause 'Locking variations / key related security' was modified in accordance with

4.7 (requirement in grade 2 changed from ' ≤ 99' into ' ≥ 30 and ≤ 99');
— in Clause 6, the title has been modified to “…and preparation for the test”;

— in Clause 8, a new clause was added regarding marking with information from the current version of

EN 13126-1.

EN 13126, Building hardware — Hardware for windows and door height windows — Requirements and

test methods consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Requirements common to all types of hardware;
— Part 2: Window fastener handles;

— Part 3: Handles, primarily for Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware;

On handles without click mechanisms (Application N), the operating torque M shall have a maximum

value of 1,4 Nm in Grade 1 and 0,8 Nm in Grade 2, both before and after the durability test.

On handles with click mechanisms (Application C), the between-clicks torque M shall have a maximum

value of 1,4 Nm in Grade 1 and 0,8 Nm in Grade 2, both before and after the durability test.

On handles with click mechanisms (Application C), the click-out torque M shall have a maximum value

of 6,0 Nm in Grade 1 and 4,0 Nm in Grade 2, both before and after the durability test.

On handles with click mechanisms (Application C), the differential value M shall have a minimum value

of 0,4 Nm in Grade 1 and 0,8 Nm in Grade 2 before and after the durability test.
5.4 Durability

The following three Grades are identified extended with the distinguishing mark “90” and “180” (first box

of the classification system).
Grade H1/90: 5 000 (+1 %) Turn-Only cycles
Grade H2/90: 10 000 (+1 %) Turn-Only cycles
Grade H3/90: 20 000 (+1 %) Turn-Only cycles
Grade H1/180: 5 000 (+1 %) Tilt and Turn cycles
Grade H2/180: 10 000 (+1 %) Tilt and Turn cycles
Grade H3/180: 20 000 (+1 %) Tilt and Turn cycles
5.5 Fixed spindle connection (after durability test)

On window handles with spindles (handle design 1 – window handle), the mounted spindle shall not

loosen of its own accord after the durability test, and shall withstand an axial tractive force of 100 N.

5.6 Free play (after durability test)

On handles with and without click mechanisms (applications N and C), the play perpendicular to the

mounting plane after the durability test shall not exceed 6 mm in Grade 1 and 4 mm in Grade 2.

On handles with click mechanisms (application C), the play parallel to the mounting plane in the click

positions after the durability test shall not exceed 6 mm in Grade 1 and 4 mm in Grade 2.

5.7 Torsional strength

Handles with or without click mechanism (Applications N and C) shall withstand a load of 200 N, applied

at a distance of 85 mm measured from the rotation point. The permanent deformation at a distance of

85 mm shall not exceed 5 mm in Grade 1 and 2 mm in Grade 2.
5.8 Tensile strength - eccentric

Handles with or without click mechanism (applications N and C) shall withstand a load of 600 N in

Grade 1 and 1 200 in Grade 2 for 30 s at the contact point 50 mm outside of the spindle centre in axial

direction. The handle and its fixing shall withstand the load without breakage.
