striker plates 5.3 Locking point variable tolerance Before and after the durability test, the distance “X” between the frame surface and the sash-overlap+1 edge shall be measured in conjunction with a counteracting force of 20 N per locking point The results shall not differ by more than mm (see Figure 1) NOTE This requirement does not apply to espagnolettes for sliding windows and door height windows x Key Frame X Sash Distance X Figure — Measurement of locking point variable tolerance 5.4 Minimum closing device resistance The espagnolette shall withstand a minimum torque of 25 Nm Upon completion of this exerted torque, the espagnolette shall operate 5.5 Corrosion resistance Espagnolettes and striker plates shall conform to the grades listed in EN 1670, whereby grade is the minimum requirement For zinc galvanized surfaces on iron or steel the specified thickness of 12 µm (class 3) or 16 µm (class 4) is not necessary if other surface protection methods are used to conform to the requirements (minimum time to formation of white corrosion products) of ISO 4520 (µm = micrometre) Unless a test report can be provided by the manufacturer, the hardware shall be tested in accordance with EN 1670 NOTE The evaluation of the corrosion resistance is limited to the essential areas (as a rule, the visible surfaces of the installed hardware) The following are exempt from corrosion resistance evaluation: rivet locations; locations of later processing (for example: cleaved surfaces that result from cropping the hardware components, millings, etc.); non-surface-treated parts/surfaces, provided they are not in the visible vicinity of the hardware (for example: screw guide-holes made of zinc die-cast, etc.); BS EN 13126-4:2008 EN 13126-4:2008 (E) welding joints and their immediate surroundings Test equipment The espagnolette and the striker plates shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s fixing instructions and the test specimen shall be tested as specified in Clause of EN 13126-1:2006 NOTE The hardware manufacturer should provide the test house with test specimens A drawing of the profile cross-section with relevant information shall be enclosed in the test application, which also contains the necessary hardware installation information for the window or door-height window Hardware shall be tested on a test rig which corresponds in function and shape to the window for which the hardware is intended The dimensions of the test rig shall conform to 4.10 The hardware tested shall conform to the manufacturer’s recommendations for size and mass of the test specimen All tolerances shall be / +10 % unless otherwise specified Test methods 7.1 Samples Four samples shall be used for testing according to this European Standard: sample A – durability test (complete specimen); sample A – minimum closing device resistance test (espagnolette); sample B – corrosion resistance test (espagnolette, striker plates); sample C – retained for reference control (espagnolette, striker plates) NOTE Sample B should only be necessary if no test report can be supplied by the manufacturer regarding the testing of the hardware component or set in accordance with EN 1670 NOTE 7.2 7.2.1 Sample C should be retained by the test house for the duration of the validity of the test report Durability test Procedure Use sample A for the durability test Inspect and ensure that the espagnolette is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions Install the specimen in the test rig in accordance with Clause Lubricate the hardware in accordance with the installation and product information (initial lubrication) Check that the specimen functions correctly, measure and record the torque to operate the espagnolette, whereby 10 Nm shall not be exceeded Measure and record the initial distance X at a locking point in the vicinity of the handle in accordance with 5.3 Mark the locking point Cycle the hardware in accordance with the following description of the cycles and in accordance with one of the following grades: BS EN 13126-4:2008 EN 13126-4:2008 (E) grade : 10 000 cycles (+ %) cycles; grade : 15 000 cycles (+ %) cycles; grade : 25 000 cycles (+ %) cycles Cycles shall be at a rate of 500 cycles/h; the procedure shall be in conjunction with a continuous +1 counteracting force of 20 N per locking point as follows: The initial position is the locked closed position The espagnolette is moved smoothly into the turn position In this position the sash shall not be pressed onto the frame by the test equipment The device to generate the counteracting force shall be able to remove the sash a distance from the frame The maximum hardware related distance shall be adjusted in such a manner that the espagnolette’s locking-elements (cams, bolts, hooks, etc) are able to engage into the corresponding frame striker plates in the next step of the test cycle The espagnolette is moved smoothly back into the initial position, whereby the espagnolette’s locking-elements engage into the corresponding striker plates The espagnolette then remains in the initial position for s before the next test cycle is started Upon completion of every 000 cycles, all moving and locking parts shall be lubricated, unless the hardware is claimed to be maintenance-free 7.2.2 Acceptance criteria After the durability test, the acceptance criteria as mentioned in Clause 8.4 of EN 13126-1:2006, in conjunction with the following shall be observed: The torque to operate the espagnolette shall not exceed a maximum of 10 Nm The espagnolette shall operate through its normal full range of travel to engage into the striker plates The locking point variable tolerance shall be in accordance with 5.3 7.3 Minimum closing device resistance test Use sample A The espagnolette shall be inserted in a test-rig that blocks the locking mechanism transmission For example the face-plate and runner-bead shall be blocked using a
