03 Standard on the load bearing capacity of glass to be prepared by CEN/TC 129

03 Testing and mounting instructions for reaction to fire to be prepared in collaboration with CEN/TC127

05 Addition of essential characteristics:

Impact resistance for windows

This characteristic was initially included for glazed doors to protect users from injury. It is necessary to extend this safety assessment for windows, as windows can be a safety hazard for users in the same way as doors can. (Note: Doors and windows are not assessed for their ability to protect users from falling from height.) ⇒ There is a German regulation, called "Musterbauordnung (MBO) 2002, § 26 "Allgemeine Anforderungen an das Brandverhalten von Baustoffen und Bauteilen" (General requirements for reaction to fire of construction products and building elements)

UK: Building regulations 1991, Approved Document N, 1998 edition Section N1, Diagram 1 SJR – This is an incorrect interpretation of the UK building regs. The UK regs do not require the window to be tested, they require the use of safety glass in a ‘critical zone’ which is defined by the document quoted. It is an application issue and not a product issue. ⇒ Impact resistance for windows Add in the Mandate …and for windows within a critical zone (43c)

05 Addition of essential characteristics:

Radiation properties for windows and

glazed doors

The solar heat gain coefficient and the light transmittance are important characteristics of windows and glazed doors that influence the energy consumption of a building. It is required by national regulation in many member states and these characteristics have thus to be included as mandated characteristics

D: Verordnung über energiesparenden Wärmeschutz und energiesparende Anlagentechnik bei Gebäuden (Energieeinsparverordnung - EnEV) Vom 16. November 2001 Clause 2.9 by reference to DIN 4108-2

Slovenia: “Act on thermal protection and rational use of energy in buildings” Clause 12 and 23

05 Possible addition of essential characteristics: reaction to fire for doors and windows

Currently this characteristic is only mandated for roof windows. National regulations may exist for the characteristic “reaction to fire” of all windows and doors. Clarification is requested.

see also NL: Bouwbesluit 2003, Artikel 2.93.1

05 Omission of essential characteristics:

Smoke leakage for (openable) windows

The TC are not able to identify any regulations for this characteristic within EEA.

05 Part E – Annex 1 has been renumbered Annex 2

06 Add CEN/TC 129 liaison on issues relating to the load bearing capacity of glass and assembly rules

07 Merging and splitting in three harmonized product standards for

1, windows and doors that are exposed to external climate and external fire 2, doors that are for internal use only and for specified health and safety purposes.

3, windows and doors that are subject to special fire resistance and smoke requirements

see table AB1 and AB2in Annex 1

these are three distinct product groups and this is also reflected in the 3 product standards.

07 The definition for door sets has been extended, with consequences for the scope

these product standards cover doorsets, i.e. the complete units consisting of a door frame and a door leaf or leaves, supplied with all essential parts from a single source. Pedestrian door assemblies, i.e. complete assemblies as installed, including door frame and one or more leaves, together with its essential hardware supplied from separate sources, fulfilling the provisions of this European Standard under the responsibility of one identified manufacturer are considered to be external pedestrian doorsets and thus included in the scope of these standards

MANDATE ON “[DOORS, WINDOWS, SHUTTERS, GATES AND RELATED BUILDING HARDWARE]” (M/101) - REPLY FROM CEN TC 33/WG 4 [Building Hardware] Comments on proposed Amendment of answer to the Mandate M/101 concerning EN 1906 In the proposed response to the Mandate M 101 sent by WG 4 Secretary, the essential characteristic “Ability to release, (only for locked doors in escape routes)” has been mentioned. TG 10 feels it is not appropriate to refer to the essential characteristic « Ability to release » for lever handle and door furniture. A lever handle or door furniture is not an exit device by itself, only a component. If this modification to the Mandate 101 was accepted, it could be possible for example to use a lever handle or any door furniture with any type of lock and then claim this to be an exit device, although not approved to comply with EN 179 or EN 1125 standard requirements.

- impact resistance for windows. Justification: this characteristic was initially included for glazed doors to protect users from injury. It is necessary to extend this safety assessment for windows, as windows can be a safety hazard for users in the same way as glazed doors can.

- radiation properties (solar heat gain coefficient and light transmittance) for windows and glazed doors. The solar heat gain coefficient and the light transmittance are important characteristic of windows and glazed doors that influence the energy consumption of a building. It is required by national regulation. - reaction to fire is mandated for roof windows only, but regulations may exist for reaction to fire of all windows and doors. Clarification is requested on this issue.

2. Other supporting standards EN 29002 Available Quality system: model for quality assurance in productions and installation

D.8.3 Additional information, comments and remarks Single-axis hinges according to this European Standard perform an essential function in supporting a door leaf, such that:- a) for fire doors -

i) the precise relationship between door leaf and frame is maintained, to achieve fire integrity;

ii) hinge friction is maintained at a low value, to enable self-closing fire doors to achieve their self-closing function.

b) for escape doors - the precise relationship between door leaf and frame is maintained to ensure that the door leaf does not foul the frame or floor and impede the opening function, once the door is released.

These functions are required for an economically reasonable working life consistent with safety, and the standard will therefore include performance tests for durability, related to the particular category of duty of the hinge.

2. Other supporting standards ISO-EN 9002 Available Quality system: model for quality assurance in productions and installation

D.9.3 Additional information, comments and remarks Locks and latches according to this European Standard perform an essential safety function when used on certain doors:

a) for self-closing fire doors - It is important that the latch bolt’s resistance to closing, when meeting its strike plate, is of a low enough value that it can be overcome by the door closing device and the return force of the latch bolt shall be as high as possible to ensure the latch entering the locking plate, so that the door can close fully into its frame and thus achieve fire integrity; b) for locked fire doors - It is important that the latch bolt or deadbolt can maintain the door in its closed position and thus maintain fire integrity.

These functions are required for an economically reasonable working life consistent with safety, and the standard will therefore include performance tests for durability, related to the particular classification of the lock or latch.

6. Explanation of the state of the art concerning durability issues :

- 70 -

Durability of water tightness, air permeability and thermal resistance against UV action and weathering is not tested on the doors and gates, but results from the compliance of the constituting materials to the state of the art or where available to ENs specifying the material.

7. Information on other Directives under which the product concerning the product under E.1

falls and compliance conditions. Information on other Directives under which the product concerning the product under E.1

falls and compliance conditions. Power operated door fall under : - Machinery Directive, - EMC Directive - Low-Voltage Directive. Machinery Directive :

1. Power operated doors are included in the scope of this Directive (see article 1, No 2 and 3). 2. Power operated doors have to comply with the essential health and safety requirements (EHSR) as defined in Annex 2. 3. The EHSRs include in particular requirements for :

- controls (clause 1.2.1 - 1.2.8) ; - protection against mechanical hazards (clause 1.3.1 -1.3.8) ; - guards and protection devices (1.4.1 - 1.4.3) ; - protection against fire (1.5.6) ; - protection against radiation (1.5.10) ; - protection against entrapment (1.5.14) ; - protection against slipping, tripping or falling (1.5.15) ; - maintenance (1.6.1 - 1.6.5) ; - information and warning devices, marking, instructions (1.7.0 - 1.7.4).

4. The level of compliance for a certain product is expressed by product specific according to the state of the art. For industrial doors the link between Machinery Directive and Product standard for industrial doors is shown in a list enclosed ("extract of "Product standard of industrial doors"). But consider that the precise requirement, needed for industry, trade and administration is not given in the product standard but in the supporting standards. In order words, the relevant clauses of the product and the supporting standards are needed to transpose this Directive for the appliance for industrial doors.

EMC Directive :

The essential safety requirements of the EMC Directive (Art. 4 and annex III) safe emission and immission of electromagnetic radiation, for industrial doors are also covered by the product standard and the referred standards EN 50 081 and 50 082.

- 71 -

Low Voltage Directive :

The essential safety requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (Art. 2 and annex I) in regard to industrial doors are included in the Machinery Directive.

8. Specific requests for additions to the mandate of materials, intended uses and ess.

characteristics, etc. concerning the product under E.1. Addition of ess. characteristics : - for vertically operated doors and windows : anti-drop-devices, e.g. safty catches (see

ID4 of CPD Nr. 3.3.1.3 Hazard : Falling due to changes in level or sudden drops) - for all doors : not dangerous geometry of glazing/glass components : visibility (see ID4

of CPD Nr. 3.3.2.3 Hazard : Cutting at sharp edges ; push and running against not visible parts)

- for all doors : mechanical resistance and stability (see ID4 of CPD Nr. 3.3.2.3 Hazards

: Break down of doors or components injuring people) Reasons for the request : In several European countries exist legal regulations which include requirements for these

subjects. These regulations will be barriers to tradeunless harmonized European Standards are not available.

E.2 Industrial, commercial, garage doors and gates with fire or smoke control characteristics E.2.1 Harmonised product standard : Availability WI 00033336 (prEN 13241-2) 2009-04 (i) Title : Industrial, commercial, garage doors and gates – Product standard – Part 2 :

Products with fire resistance or smoke control characte-ristics (ii) Scope : This European Standard specifies the safety and performance requirements related to the characteristics fire resistance and/or smoke control for doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises. This European Standard also covers commercial doors such as rolling shutters and rolling grilles used in retail premises which are mainly provided for the access of persons rather than vehicles or goods. These products can be manually or power operated. All other characteristics are covered in EN 13241-1:2003. Not all characteristics are applicable to every product or every intended end use situation. Where fire and smoke characteristics are required this European Standard identifies the means of determination and the ways to express the results as well as the evaluation of conformity. This European Standard does not cover operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000-6-3. Fire resisting and/or smoke control doors which meet the requirements of this European Standard are not intended to be used as a load carrying part of a structure. (iii) Int. uses : In fire/smoke compartmentation; in other declared specific uses and/or other uses subject to specific requirements, in particular noise, energy, tightness and safety in use. (iv) The essential characteristics according to the mandate which will be dealt within the above mentioned standard will be: For industrial, commercial, garage doors and gates used for fire compartimentation :

1 - Resistance to fire E (integrity) and I (insulation). This characteristic will be covered by 4.5

2 - Smoke leakage S (only for applications were limitation of smoke spread is required)


3 - Self closing C (only for self closing fire doors) This characteristic will be covered by 4.7

4 - Ability to release (only for locked doors in escape routes).3)

3) Ability to release (only for locked doors in escape routes) is mainly linked with the locking device, which is defined by standards for building hardware, e.g. EN 179 "Emergency exit devices ..." But it has to be considered that industrial and other big doors need high forces for operation (opening) due to their weight, which cannot be brought up usually by persons in emergency.

- 73 -

Also the use of special tools or means for the opening movement requires special information and training which is usually not present. As conclusion has to be said : Industrial and similar doors are normally not appropriate for escape routes, unless pass doors are incorporated in the door leaf. Besides of this, an extra emergency exit (pedestrian door) should be installed for the emergency situation.
