testing
Note 1 to entry: For example, wood, steel or aluminium could be used.
4 Classification
4.1 General
Arm-balancing systems shall be classified with the five-box classification system (see Table 1).
Table 1 — Classification system
box 1 2 3 4 5
Corrosion
characteristic Durability Mass Test sizes Type
resistance
4.2 Durability (1 – first box)
The first box shall display the Grade for the number of cycles applied to the durability test in accordance
with the following requirements:
— Grade H1 5 000 cycles
— Grade H2 10 000 cycles
— Grade H3 20 000 cycles
4.3 Mass (2 – second box)
The second box shall display the maximum tested sash mass (weight).
The mass range starts from 20 kg and varies in steps of 10 kg. An unlimited number of grades are
identified, whereby 020 is the lowest (see Table 2).
Table 2 — Tested sash-mass
Grade 020 030 040 050 060 070 080 090 100 110 …
20 30
Mass (kg) 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 …
4.4 Corrosion resistance (3 – third box)
The third box shall display the Grade regarding corrosion resistance in accordance with 5.4.
4.5 Test sizes (4 – fourth box)
The test size is:
Sash Rebate Width (SRW) in mm X Sash Rebate Height (SRH) in mm.
EXAMPLE 1 200 mm SRW X 900 mm SRH.
The specified size is a test size only. It does not relate to the maximum size to which a window may be
fabricated.
For instances where an arm-balancing system is available in a range of sizes to suit differing window sizes
it shall be tested at the size which gives the most severe impact on the hardware, as recommended by the
hardware manufacturer. This size is then recorded as the fourth box.
4.6 Type of arm-balancing system (5 – fifth box)
The fifth box shall display the Grade of the security against burglar attack:
