European foreword
This document (EN 13126-1:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,
windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2022, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by July 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document is one of a series of European Standards dedicated to building hardware products. It is
divided into many parts: the first part being common to the other parts of this Standards series, which
have been published prior to November 2017, incorporating all types of hardware for windows and door
height windows. All other parts of this series, which have been published from November 2017 onwards,
are independent of this part 1.
Annex A (informative) lists the titles of all parts of this European Standard and provides examples to their
different window opening-type applications.
The performance tests incorporated in this document are considered to be reproducible and as such will
provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these products throughout CEN
Member States.
This document supersedes EN 13126-1:2011.
With regard to EN 13126-1:2011, the following significant changes were made:
— under the European foreword several adjustments to the wording made in order to consider the
already revised and thus independent parts of this series of standards; only the parts published
before November 2017 are still to be considered dependent on this part 1;
— under 1 “Scope” adjustments to the wording in the last subclause made; Note 1 and Note 2 deleted;
— under 2 “Normative references” adjustments made;
— under 4.1 “General” (first subclause) and 4.3 “Durability” (last sentence) additional information
added to consider the already revised and thus independent parts of this series of standards; term
code (coding system) changed into classification (classification system);
— under 4.11 “Example of classification…” the example shown was changed;
— under 5.3 “Durability” Note changed to plain text, new Note added;
— under 5.4 “Mass” new wording “If not specified otherwise in the individual parts”; added in the first
sentence of the second subclause;
— under 5.5 “Fire resistance” all sentences and Notes deleted;
— under 5.7 “Corrosion resistance” wording in the second subclause modified; last bullet point added;
— under 5.9 “Applicable part” second subclause modified;

Introduction
EN 13126 is a multipart product standard which enables the testing of hardware components or sets. The
components or sets are tested on a standard test frame independently of the windows to which they
should be fitted. The standard test frame is intended to eliminate any test-result inconsistencies that may
arise through the variability between different constructions of windows.
NOTE In some cases where the hardware components or sets are tested directly on a test rig or window, a
standard test frame is not necessary. The applicable test specifications are listed in the individual parts of this
Standards series.
Throughout this document all references to windows mean both windows and door height windows
where appropriate.
This document applies only to hardware that connects a movable sash to its fixed frame or controls the
opening and closing of the movable sash. It does not take fixing devices into account that are used to
assemble or install a fixed window or permanently fix a complete window into a building structure.
Where possible, test methods have been unified to accommodate a wide range of window opening types
and hardware. In particular, the following are unified for movable sashes:
a) size of the sash;
b) mass of the sash;
c) frequency and total number of test cycles;
d) range of operations during each test cycle.
This document excludes hardware for sliding doors and folding doors in accordance with EN 1527, door
1
and window bolts in accordance with EN 12051 and single axis hinges in accordance with EN 1935.

A standard is under development with regard to multiaxis hinges.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13126-1:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,
windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
A full contribution to the preparation of this European Standard has been made by the European
manufacturers’ organization “ARGE” and national standards bodies.
This document is one of a series of European Standards dedicated to building hardware products. It is
divided into many parts: the first part being common to the other parts of this Standards series, which
have been published prior to November 2017, incorporating all types of hardware for windows and
door height windows. All other parts of this series, which have been published from November 2017
onwards, are independent of this part 1.
Annex A (informative) lists the titles of all parts of this European Standard and provides examples to
their different window opening-type applications.
The performance tests incorporated in this document are considered to be reproducible and as such
will provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these products throughout
CEN Member States.
This document will supersede EN 13126-1:2011.
With regard to EN 13126-1:2011, the following significant changes were made:
— under the European foreword several adjustments in the wording made in order to consider the
already revised and thus independent parts of this series of standards; only the parts published
before November 2017 are still to be considered dependent on this part 1;
— under 1 “Scope” adjustments in the wording in the last subclause made; Note 1 and Note 2 deleted;
— under 2 “Normative references” adjustments made;
— under 4.1 “General” (first subclause) and 4.3 “Durability” (last sentence) additional information
added to consider the already revised and thus independent parts of this series of standards; term
code (coding system) changed into classification (classification system);
— under 4.11 “Example of classification…” the example shown changed;
— under 5.3 “Durability” Note changed to plain text, new Note added
— under 5.4 “Mass” new wording “I not specified otherwise in the individual parts”; added in the first
sentence of the second subclause;
— under 5.5 “Fire resistance” all sentences and Notes deleted;
— under 5.7 “Corrosion resistance” wording in the second subclause modified; last bullet point added;
— under 5.9 “Applicable part” second subclause modified

Introduction
EN 13126 is a multipart product standard which enables the testing of hardware components or sets.
The components or sets are tested on a standard test frame independently of the windows to which
they should be fitted. The standard test frame is intended to eliminate any test-result inconsistencies
that may arise through the variability between different constructions of windows.
NOTE In some cases where the hardware components or sets are tested directly on a test rig or window, a
standard test frame is not necessary. The applicable test specifications are listed in the individual parts of this
Standards series.
Throughout this document all references to windows mean both windows and door height windows
where appropriate.
This document applies only to hardware that connects a movable sash to its fixed frame or controls the
opening and closing of the movable sash. It does not take fixing devices into account that are used to
assemble or install a fixed window or permanently fix a complete window into a building structure.
Where possible, test methods have been unified to accommodate a wide range of window opening-
types and hardware. In particular, the following are unified for movable sashes:
a) size of the sash;
b) mass of the sash;
c) frequency and total number of test cycles;
d) range of operations during each test cycle.
This document excludes hardware for sliding doors and folding doors in accordance with EN 1527, door
and window bolts in accordance with EN 12051, single axis hinges in accordance with EN 1935 and
multiaxis hinges (WI 0033579).
