Windows and doors - Resistance to repeated opening and closing - Test method

This European Standard specifies the method to be used to determine the resistance to repeated opening and closing of windows and pedestrian doorsets when subjected to repeated opening and closing. It applies to all construction materials and operating systems for any window or pedestrian doorset, including gaskets and building hardware, in normal operating conditions. The parts concerned in the testing are the frame, the opening component (including any additional moving components e.g. an inactive sash/leaf) and all essential and directly involved building hardware, including operating devices, for example, the handle. The testing does not include any hardware whose operation is not directly involved in the opening and closing of the moving components: added-on fastening systems such as peg-stays or cabin hooks or bolts, nor, unless specified, any independently installed stops (not connected to the complete assembly) such as a wall or ground-mounted stop.

EN 1191:2012 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard describes one of the test methods that are called up in the product standards for windows and pedestrian doorsets. The Annexes of this European Standard are to be in line with the relevant hardware standards but they are not direct copies of them. SIST EN 1191:2013



EN 1191:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the method to be used to determine the resistance to repeated opening and closing of windows and pedestrian doorsets when subjected to repeated opening and closing.
It applies to all construction materials and operating systems for any window or pedestrian doorset, including gaskets and building hardware, in normal operating conditions.
The parts concerned in the testing are the frame, the opening component (including any additional moving components e.g. an inactive sash/leaf) and all essential and directly involved building hardware, including operating devices, for example, the handle. The testing does not include any hardware whose operation is not directly involved in the opening and closing of the moving components: added-on fastening systems such as peg-stays or cabin hooks or bolts, nor, unless specified, any independently installed stops (not connected to the complete assembly) such as a wall or ground-mounted stop. NOTE 1 The Annexes provide more details on the testing procedures that may differ from the main part of this European Standard and are mandatory: − Annex A applies to Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First, Turn-Only, or Tilt-Only windows and door-height windows; − Annex B applies to Sliding, Lift and Slide or Lift and Slide and Tilt windows and door-height windows; − Annex C applies to Tilt and Slide windows and door-height windows; − Annex D applies to Fold and Slide windows and door-height windows; − Annex E applies to horizontal and vertical pivot windows and door-height windows; − Annex F applies to Vertical Sliding windows; − Annex G applies to side-hung casements and top-hung windows, opening outwards (including reversible windows); − Annex H applies to side-hung single and double action pedestrian doorsets excluding power operated doors; − Annex I applies to power-operated (automatic) side-hung single action pedestrian doorsets. NOTE 2 In this European Standard the term door-height window is used for windows that are used for the passage of pedestrians, i.e. as a pedestrian doorset. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

power operated pedestrian doorset and window doorset for pedestrian passage only/window with one or more moving components that is moved, at least in one direction, by an external energy supply (e.g. electrically) instead of manual or stored mechanical energy 4 Test equipment 4.1 Test rig The test rig shall be designed and constructed to be capable of adjustment for test specimens and shall be sufficiently rigid to withstand the induced forces without undue deflection.
Alternatively test specimen linked to prEN 16034 can be tested in supporting construction as described in EN 1634-1 in order to get a maximum range of direct application. A sub-frame may be used into which the test specimen is mounted. 4.2 Operating equipment 4.2.1 Motion controlled actuators — hydraulic, pneumatic or electric torque and linear cylinders or any appropriate mechanisms, having features consistent with: a) the reference velocities to be used; b) the mass of the moving component and the friction forces involved; c) the applied loads, if relevant, to produce dynamic forces; d) the duration of the test. 4.3 Measuring equipment The following equipment shall be used:  cycle counter;  velocity and time measurement equipment accurate to
± 5 %;  force and mass measuring equipment accurate to ± 2 %;  dynamometer and torque-meter accurate to ± 3 %; SIST EN 1191:2013



EN 1191:2012 (E) 10  measuring tape, EC-precision class II;
 dial gauges and callipers accurate to ± 0,1 mm. 4.4 Velocity measurement The measurement of the reference velocity shall be carried out over a measuring distance with a maximum of 70 mm for turning and sliding and a max of 30 mm for tilting. The end of the measuring distance shall be at a distance of 505+− mm from the moving component’s position where the reference velocity shall be reached. In the case of asymmetrically positioned moving components, the reference velocity shall be measured on the main closing edge. NOTE Individual velocity measurements have been identified and are shown in the relevant Annexes. 5 Test requirements 5.1 General All specifications described in this European Standard shall be adhered to, unless stated otherwise in the Annexes. 5.2 Number of cycles The cycle is repeated either for a specified number of times or until failure occurs or the operating force set for the test is exceeded.
The number of cycles is either set prior to starting the test or the test is carried out until failure occurs. Each part cycle shall have the same number of part cycles as required for the mode of operation. NOTE The lowest number of part cycles causing failure is used for classification purposes. 5.3 Reference velocity 5.3.1 Manual operation The reference velocity of a manually operated moving component depends on its mass and on its operation which can be translatory, rotary, or tilting.
The reference velocities are specified in Table 1 with a tolerance of ± 10 %. SIST EN 1191:2013



EN 1191:2012 (E) 11 Table 1 — Reference velocities for manually operated moving components Mass (M) kg Operation Translatory m/s Rotary m/s Tilt m/s M ≤ 65 0,25 0,50 0,50 65 < M ≤ 100 0,20 0,35 0,50 100 < M ≤ 150 0,16 0,30 0,41 150 < M ≤ 200 0,14 0,25 0,35
200 < M ≤ 300 0,12 0,20 0,29
M > 300 0,10 0,18 0,25 For fire resisting and/or smoke control pedestrian doorsets and openable windows, refer to EN 14600. NOTE A consistent energy of 2,03 J (translatory), 1,56 J (rotary) and 3,125 J (tilt mode) is the basis for calculating the respective mass and velocity.
5.3.2 Mechanical operation 5.3.2.1 Self-closing devices If the moving component is mechanically operated, for example, via self-weight, springs or any other mechanism and if the velocity is adjustable, the reference velocity shall be set in accordance with the provisions laid down for opening and closing in the relevant product standard. For controlled door closing devices, opening and closing shall be set as specified in EN 1154. The uncontrolled door closing devices should refer to prEN 15887. If no product standard is available, or the product standard does not include any provisions for opening and closing, the reference velocity during a cycle or a part cycle shall be set as defined in Table 1. If not adjustable, the reference velocity shall be the actual velocity. 5.3.2.2 Power-operation The velocities for power-operated doorsets/windows shall be set to a present level by the client or stated in a relevant product standard, e.g. prEN 16361 or a supporting standard like EN 16005. 5.4 Rest time This shall be at least 1 s but shall not exceed 4 s for manually operated moving components. For motor operated moving components, the rest time shall be established with the client prior to the test. 5.5 Operation of the fastening systems For manually operated fastening systems the operating force applied by the operating equipment shall not exceed 150 % of the last measurement of the operating forces necessary to release and secure the fastening systems (see 7.4). If deemed necessary during the test, subsequent adjustments of the operating equipment may be carried out in order to enable the test to proceed. This operating force shall be determined in accordance with EN 12046-1 or EN 12046-2.
The operating forces shall be measured with moderate velocity, in a jerk-free and jolt-free manner.
SIST EN 1191:2013



EN 1191:2012 (E) 12 The same specifications shall apply to the operation of the hardware during the repeated opening and closing test, unless specified otherwise in the system specifications. A load on the hardware’s espagnolette by means of overtwisting is not intended. The motion-sequence shall be carried out ‘path-controlled’ to the target positions in order to satisfy the operational cycle. Ensure that the moving component is in the closed position before the operation equipment applies a force on the operating device. EN 13115:2001, Table 1 specifies the resistance to operating forces for each class, for example, a hand operating device with a measured operating torque of between 5 Nm and 10 Nm represents Class 1, therefore a force of not greater than 100 N × 1,5 = (150 ± 10) N shall be applied as the (gasket) compression force (not applicable for doors). For power operated fastening systems (either partially or totally) the amplitude of the force shall be that set by the mechanism itself. 6 Preparation for testing Test specimens shall be stored a

and doorsets when subjected to repeated opening and closing.
It applies to all construction materials and operating systems for any window or doorset, including gaskets and
hardware, in normal operating conditions.
The parts concerned in the testing are the frame, the opening component (including any additional moving
components e.g. an inactive sash/leaf) and all essential hardware, including operating devices, for example,
the handle.
The testing does not include any hardware whose operation is not directly involved in the opening and closing
of the moving components: added-on fastening devices such as peg-stays or cabin hooks or bolts, nor, unless
specified, any independently installed stops (not connected to the complete assembly) such as a wall or
ground-mounted stop.
NOTE The Annexes provide more details on the testing procedures:
 Annex A applies to Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First, Turn-Only, or Tilt-Only windows and door-height windows;
 Annex B applies to Sliding, Lift and Slide or Lift and Slide and Tilt windows and door-height windows;
 Annex C applies to Tilt and Slide windows and door-height windows;
 Annex D applies to Fold and Slide windows and door-height windows;
 Annex E applies to horizontal and vertical pivot windows and door height windows;
 Annex F applies to vertical sliding windows;
 Annex G applies to side-hung casements and top–hung windows, opening outwards (including reversible windows);
 Annex H applies to manually operated side-hung single swing doorsets.

sufficiently rigid to withstand the induced forces without undue deflection.
A sub-frame may be used into which the test specimen is mounted.
4.2 Operating equipment
4.2.1 Motion controlled actuators — hydraulic, pneumatic or electric torque and linear cylinders or any
appropriate mechanisms, having features consistent with:
a) the reference velocities to be used;
b) the mass of the moving component and the friction forces involved;
c) the applied loads, if relevant, to produce dynamic forces;
d) the duration of the test.
4.3 Measuring equipment
The following equipment shall be used:
 Cycle counter;
 velocity measurement equipment accurate to ± 5 %;
 force and mass measuring equipment accurate to 2 %;
 dynamometer and torque-meter accurate to 3 %;
 measuring tape, EC-precision class I;
 dial gauges and callipers accurate to ± 0,1 mm.
4.4 Velocity measurement
The measurement of the reference velocity shall be carried out over a measuring track with a maximum of
70 mm for turning and sliding and a max of 30 mm for tilting. The end of the measuring track shall be at a
+5
maximum distance of 5 mm from the moving component’s final position. In the case of asymmetrically
−0
positioned moving components, the reference velocity shall be measured on the main closing edge.

5 Test requirements
5.1 General
All specifications prescribed in this European Standard shall be adhered to, unless stated otherwise in the
Annexes.

5.2 Number of cycles
The cycle is repeated either for a specified number of times or until failure occurs or the operating force set for
the test is exceeded.
The number of cycles is either set prior to starting the test or the test is carried out until failure occurs.
Each part cycle shall have the same number of part cycles as required for the type of operation.
NOTE The lowest number of part cycles causing failure is used for classification purposes.
5.3 Reference velocity
5.3.1 Manual operation
The reference velocity of a manually operated moving component depends on its mass and on its operation
which can be translatory, rotary, or tilting.
The reference velocities are specified in Table 1 with a tolerance of ± 10 %.
Table 1 — Reference velocities for manually operated moving components
Operation
Mass (M)
Translatory Rotary Tilt
kg
m/s m/s m/s
0,25 0,50 0,50
M ≤ 65
0,2 0,35 0,50
65 < M ≤ 100
0,17 0,30 0,50
100 < M ≤ 150
0,14 0,25 0,43

0,12 0,20 0,35
200 < M ≤ 300
M > 300 0,10 0,18 0,31
NOTE 1 A consistent energy of 1,6 J (rotary and translatory) and 9,4 J (tilt mode) is the basis for calculating for the
respective mass and velocity.
NOTE 2 For doorsets and openable windows with fire resisting and/or smoke control characteristics, the velocities shall
be in accordance with EN 14600.
5.3.2 Mechanical operation
If the moving component is mechanically operated, for example, via self-weight, springs or any other
mechanism, during either a cycle or part cycle, and if the velocity is adjustable, the reference velocity shall be
set as defined in Table 1. If not adjustable, the reference velocity shall be the actual velocity.
5.4 Rest time
This shall be at least 1 sec but shall not exceed 4 sec for manually operated moving components. For motor
operated moving components, the rest time shall be established with the manufacturer prior to the test.

5.5 Operation of the fastening devices
5.5.1 Force level
For manually operated fastening devices the operating force applied by the operating equipment shall not
exceed 150 % of the last measurement of the operating forces necessary to release and secure the fastening
devices.
This operating force shall be determined in accordance with EN 12046-1 or EN 12046-2.
NOTE 1 The operating forces shall be measured with moderate velocity, in a jerk-free and jolt-free manner.
The same specifications shall apply to the operation of the hardware during the repeated opening and closing
test, unless specified otherwise in the system specifications.
If deemed necessary during the test, subsequent adjustments of the operating equipment may be carried out
in order to enable the test to proceed.
NOTE 2 A load on the hardware’s espagnolette by means of overtwisting is not intended. The motion-sequence shall
be carried out ‘path-controlled’ to the target positions in order to satisfy the operatinal cycle.
NOTE 3 Ensure that the moving component is in the closed position before the operation equipment applies a force on
the operating device. EN 13115 Table 1 specifies the resistance to operating forces for each class, for example, a hand
operating device with a measured operating torque of between 5 Nm and 10 Nm represents Class 1, therefore a force of
not greater than 100 N × 1,5 = (150 ± 10) N should be applied as the (gasket) compression force.
For motor operated fastening devices (either partially or totally) the amplitude of the force shall be that set by
the mechanism itself.
6 Preparation for testing
Specimens shall be tested in their ‘as received’ condition, unless otherwise specified.
Test specimens shall be stored and tested in a non-destructive environment within the ranges of 15 °C to
30 °C and 25 % to 75 % RH.
Specimens which are intended to be glazed should be supplied with all glazing carried out in accordance with
the window/door manufacturer's specification, or an adequately rigid timber, plastic or metal material may be
used with additional weights.
NOTE Any additional weights are to be mounted equally on the outside and inside of the infilled panel so that the
centre of gravity and mass replicate the replaced glazed unit.
The mass of the moving component shall be measured prior to testing.
In respect of the type, number and position of fixing devices, the installation of the specimen in the testing or
sub-frame shall comply with the relevant code of practice, if any, or if none, with the manufacturer’s instruction
for installation in buildings. These fixings shall not hinder the operation of the opening components, nor of any
hardware involved in the test.
NOTE Windows or doors designed to be incorporated in, or form part of a proprietary wall or partition system, should
be installed in such a system and the composite construction fitted into the test surround
Test equipment shall act at the position of normal operation. It shall be balanced so that the dead load applied
on the operating point does not increase, in any position, the weight of the moving components by more than
5 %.
