duration of the validity of the test report NOTE All window fastening devices should not be engaged when measuring the clearance gap between sash and frame 7.2 Durability test procedure Any restrictor shall be disabled before any testing commences + 25 Cycle the window in accordance with one of the following grades at the rate of 250 grade 3: 10 000 cycles (+ %) cycles; grade 4: 15 000 cycles (+ %) cycles; grade 5: 25 000 cycles (+ %) cycles cycles/h NOTE Opening velocity is determined by the sash size and weight Closing velocity should not exceed the opening velocity Cycle the sash, in accordance with Clause of EN 13126-1:2006, from the fully closed position to the fully open position BS EN 13126-10:2008 EN 13126-10:2008 (E) NOTE All moving parts requiring lubrication may be lubricated unless the hardware is claimed to be maintenance free in accordance with hardware manufacturers’ instructions Return the window to the closed position The hardware shall conform to the acceptance criteria of 8.4 of EN 13126-1:2006 and 5.2 of this European Standard 7.3 Static load test procedure Measure and record the clearance gap between the sash and frame at the opening edge of

7.4 Corrosion resistance NOTE A test should only be necessary if no test report can be supplied by the manufacturer in accordance with EN 1670 All corrosion tests shall be on original new samples For Zinc galvanized surfaces on iron or steel the specified thickness of 12 µ (class 3) or 16 µ (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: 1981 (µ= 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) Exempt from the corrosion resistance evaluation are: rivet locations; locations of later processing (for example: cleaved surfaces that result from cropping the hardware components, millings); 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); welding joints and their immediate surroundings BS EN 13126-10:2008 EN 13126-10:2008 (E) Annex A
