scope:

This document specifies the test method, safety requirements and classification when determining the effect on a window or pedestrian doorset impacted with a soft and heavy body. Any secondary moving sashes, casements, leaves, mullions, transoms, T-connectors or fixed lights which may be mounted internally to the main casements or sashes, shall also be similarly tested.

The test applies to all infill of whatever materials including glass. It is not intended to classify the strength of the glass when used as an infill. It is intended to assess the interactions between all components of a window or pedestrian doorset with particular regard to safety in use.

NOTE 1 The test method is aimed for glazed pedestrian doorsets with injury risk, but can also be used for other types of pedestrian doorsets if requested by the client.

NOTE 2 For the classification of glass see EN 12600. The test has been devised to suit all window or pedestrian doorset types, configurations and materials.
