This European Standard specifies the test methods for evaluating:<\/p>\n
the risks of decay of openable and fixed windows manufactured of different materials through increased moisture accumulation as a result of condensation or water vapour diffusion;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the influence of deformation on basic performances of openable and fixed windows manufactured of different materials exposed to different climates between their external and internal faces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Three test methods are to be differentiated. They take into account different cases of loadings.<\/p>\n
Test method 1:<\/b> For designs with low resistance to water vapour diffusion (normally designs with water vapour equalization holes); the test procedure is to be used for cross-sections where the danger is given by the moisture accumulation as a result of the condensation of moisture between the planking and the timber (see Annex A (informative), Figure A.1).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Test method 2.1 and 2.2:<\/b> For designs with high resistance to water vapour diffusion (normally designs without water vapour equalization holes); the test procedure is to be used for cross-sections where the danger is given by the condensation of the moisture between the surface of the inner profile and the inner surface of the outer profile by having a different water vapour diffusion (see Annex A (informative), Figures A.2 and A.3).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Test method 3:<\/b> For designs being sensitive to deformation; the test procedure is to be used for cross-sections where they are sensitive to the function through deformation as a result of climatic loading.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This European Standard defines the test procedures which are to be used in dependence of the potential risk of the design.<\/p>\n This European Standard is relevant to initial type testing, i. e. to developments or changes in designs. It is not relevant to routine quality control or to proven designs.<\/p>\n NOTE Designs are included in Annex A (informative). Annex B (normative) is the survey of general design criteria where tests are not necessary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Windows.
