External blinds and shutters. Resistance to wind loads. Method of testing and performance criteria
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2013 | 50 |
The European Standard specifies the test methods to evaluate the wind resistance of external blinds and shutters to be fitted to buildings, in front of windows, doors or façades and delivered as a complete unit.
This European Standard applies to:
-
shutters: roller shutter, external venetian blind, wing shutter, venetian shutter, concertina shutter, flat closing concertina shutter and sliding panel shutter (including those with projection systems);
-
external blinds: folding arm awning, trellis arm awning, pivot arm awning, marquisolette, vertical awning, façade awning, conservatory awning, roof window awning, Pergola awning and insect screen
whatever the nature of the constituent materials, under normal operating conditions and installed in compliance with the manufacturer’s installations instructions.
This European Standard does not cover non retractable shutters, external blinds and awnings such as Dutch awnings and brise-soleil as well as the structural part of Pergolas.
NOTE The wind resistance of such products can be evaluated by calculations.
