This standard BS EN 13126-5:2011+A1:2014 Building hardware. Hardware for windows and door height windows. Requirements and test methods is classified in these ICS categories:
- 91.190 Building accessories
This Part of EN 13126 specifies requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and functionality of devices that restrict the opening of windows and door height windows.
On devices that restrict the opening of
-
Tilt&Turn, Tilt-First, Turn-Only, or Tilt-Only windows and door-height windows
-
horizontal and vertical pivot windows and door height windows
-
side-hung Casements and top–hung windows and door height windows (opening outwards)
this part of EN 13126 only applies, if a restriction of the opening occurs within the specification in Annex A, E or G of EN 1191:2012 in accordance with the intended use specified by the manufacturer.
Restrictors and reverse restrictors can be either a separate item of hardware or an integral part of hardware, for example a part of the operating gear or an integral part of a hinge.
Windows may be fitted with more than one restrictor.
The requirements included within this standard take the needs for child safety into consideration, child protective window restrictors intended to be installed by the end consumers are beyond the scope of this standard. Therefore, for the DIY market refer to PC398 and EN 16281 .
