Windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling - Explosion resistance - Test method - Part 1: Shock tube

This document specifies a conventional test procedure to permit classification of the explosion resistance of windows, doors, shutters, together with their infills, as well as curtain walling elements.
This document concerns a method of test against blast waves generated using a shock tube facility to simulate detonation events. This document considers high explosive detonations in the order of 100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT equivalent at distances from about 35 m to 50 m, described by the fixed loading levels EPR0 to EPR4. Scenarios characterized by variable blast parameters for further high explosive detonations and gas or chemical explosions can also be specified.
This document covers only the behaviour of the complete test specimen including infill, frame and fixings as tested.
This document gives no information on the ability of the surrounding wall or building structure to resist the direct or transmitted forces.
If the windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling components are intended for specific conditions of climate, specific test conditions can be required.
Requirements for the performance of opening and locking mechanisms or for testing in an open condition can also be specified.
This document gives no information on the behaviour of the test specimens subjected to other types of loading.

unobstructed flow.

4 Requirements
Classification requirements for the explosion resistance of windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling
are given in prEN 13123-1:2022.
Additional requirements with respect to special conditions for surface temperatures or other boundary
conditions should be agreed between the test client and the test facility prior to a test as being suitable
for the purpose.
The test client should also specify any additional requirements for the locking and opening mechanisms
or whether the test specimen is to be tested in the open condition.
For the classification of the test specimen one successful test is required.

5 Apparatus
5.1 Pressure generating device
It is a shock tube or similar device capable of reproducing the effects of a plane shock wave from a high
explosive, gas or chemical explosion.
5.2 Connections
Connections are the fixings, which integrate the test specimen into the test specimen support. They
shall allow the test specimen to be installed in a manner representative of its built condition without
imposing abnormal stresses. The test client should provide installation instructions for the test
including the number, specification and location of fixings and these should be included in the test
report.
The fixings should not be more ductile or weaker than in a real installation. Furthermore, the fixings
should not be stiffer or stronger than in real installation.
5.3 Test specimen support
The test specimen support shall be a frame or construction through which the test specimen (window,
door or curtain walling) and the fixings may be securely attached to the shock tube. It shall:
a) Be sufficiently strong to resist the explosive forces without imparting deformations to the test
specimen that do not represent real situations as defined by the test client. This has to be
demonstrated by the test facility.
b) Be closed on all sides and prevent passage of pressure other than through deformation of the test
specimen. Internal pressure has to be recorded by a pressure gauge and should be documented in
the test report. In case of close windows, this internal peak overpressure should be no bigger than
10 % of the peak positive reflected pressure and the difference between internal and external peak
overpressure should not be less than the classified peak positive reflected pressure. In addition, the
reduction of the peak positive specific impulse due to the internal pressure should be less than
10 %. The internal pressure has to be documented in the test report.
c) All and any additional or purpose-made frames, supports, connections, fixing points methods,
technical or functional conditions and their designs shall be agreed between the test client and the
test facility prior to a test as being suitable for the purpose and should be part of the test report.
d) Accept mounting of pressure gauges next to the attack face.
5.4 Equipment for measuring
Equipment shall comprise:
a) Thermometers suitable for measuring the ambient air temperature and the temperature of the
attack and the rear face of the test specimen, taking into account variations due to shade, sunlight
or other weather conditions to an accuracy of ± 1°C. Measurements have to be taken at the time of
the test.
b) A barometer suitable for measuring the ambient air pressure outside the shock tube to an accuracy
of ± 0,2 kPa.
c) Gauges are instrumentation systems for measuring and recording the pressure history of the blast
pulse. These shall be: gauges incorporating piezoelectric/piezoresistive or equivalent pressure
transducers capable of responding to variations in pressures within 0,1 ms and recording pressures

to an accuracy of ± 5 % of the peak positive reflected pressure throughout the range of pressures
and durations to be experienced.
d) Witness panels shall be deployed behind each test specimen. These panels shall be parallel to the
plane of the specimen and shall be placed at a horizontal distance of 3,0 m ± 0,15 m measured from
the rear face of the glazed components of the test specimen to the front face of the witness panel.
The witness panel shall cover the full area projected behind the specimen and extend down to the
floor of the test setup. The witness panel shall have a width at least that of the test specimen, and a
height extending from the level of the collecting mat to 200 mm above the top of the
