CEN/TC 33/WG 2 - Windows

This European Standard describes the method which is to be used to test the behaviour under humidity variations of door leaves placed in successive uniform climates. This standard can be applied to all door leaves(e.g.solid, hollow core, panelled and glazed doors ), which are nominally flat and rigid, and which contain hygroscopic materials which might influence their behaviour during this test.

This European Standard specifies the method to be used for testing door leaves and doorsets between two different climates.

This standard applies to door leaves and doorsets tested in accordance with prEN 1121-2 and prEN 1294.

This Standard provides a means of classifying where appropriate, the performance of door leaves, door frames, doorsets, and door assemblies according to their strength in resisting vertical load, static torsion, soft and heavy body impact,and hard body impact. The performance level indicate normal usage for a range of categories of duty. Special requirements such as those for burglar resistance or safety requirements related to glass infillings are not covered.

This standard gives the tolerances limits for general and local flatness of door leaves. It applies to door leaves which are supplied without, and independent of, any frames. It does not apply to the leaves of doorsets. NOTE: Compliance with the tolerance limits given in this standard does not imply that this would necessarily produce a perfect fit between door leaves and frames.

This European standard applies to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors. The standard specifies the method to be used to determine the permanent deformation caused when static stress in torsion is applied to an open door leaf fixed in its own door frame as part of a doorset. Note: Such torsional stresses that might reasonably be expected, such as in attempts to free a door which sticks, should neither damage nor impair the performance of a door.

This standard can be applied to all rectangular door leaves. The standard specifies the method to be used to measure the deviations in general and local flatness of door leaves. In this standard the concept of local flatness deviation is limited to defects considered to be prejudicial to the appearance of the door leaf.

This standard applies to all door leaves. The standard specifies the method to be used to determine the damage caused to a door leaf by the impact of a hard body. Note: Such impacts, that might reasonably be expected from contact with small objects or parts of larger objects such as corners on furniture or footwear, can produce local surface failures affecting both strength and appearance. The kind of damage caused by impact can vary with the material used in the door construction.

This standard defines the test method determining the forces required when engaging or releasing the movable parts of a door set or to bring the movable part of a sliding door to a specified position defined by the personal safety devices built into the hardware as well as the forces to lock or unlock the door via a handle or a key and the force to commence opening.

This European standard applies to all doors.  The standard specifies the method to be used to determine the damage caused by striking with a soft and heavy body, the face of a closed door leaf fixed in its own door frame as part of a doorset.  NOTE : Such forces that might reasonably be expected from impacts by human bodies and substantial objects with similar characteristics should neither damage, nor impair the normal performance of, a door.

This European standard applies to all rectangular door leaves and the measurable parameters of doors of other shapes. This standard specifies the method to be used to measure the dimensions of height, width and thickness, and defects of squareness of door leaves.

This standard gives the tolerances limits for specified dimensions of height, width and thickness, and for squareness of door leaves. It applies to door leaves which are supplied without, and independent of, any frames. It does not apply to the leaves of doorsets. NOTE: Compliance with the tolerance limits given in this standard does not imply that this would necessarily produce a perfect fit between door leaves and frames.

This European Standard is applicable to hinged/pivoted and sliding doorsets with latches, for pedestrian use.  It defines the classification of the test results for the forces to open/close doors and to engage/release and lock/unlock the hardware using a key or handle, after testing in accordance with EN 12046-2.
It is only applicable to the manual operation of doorsets.
The measurement of forces for doorsets with self closing devices engaged is excluded from this test method. It is also not applicable to doorsets with special hardware e.g. emergency exit devices.
The tests are applicable to doorsets of any material.
The operation of some glazed doors, (door high windows) involves hardware with latches and may be classified in accordance with this standard.
