General Information

Abstract

This part of EN 13126 specifies the requirements and test procedures for durability, strength, security and functionality of handles.
This European Standard is applicable to Tilt&Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware for use on windows and door-height windows.
Handles may also be used on other opening types, e.g. on In-line Sliding, Tilt&Slide, Fold&Slide, horizontal and vertical-pivoting windows.
This European Standard is not applicable to the following hardware:
a)   operation devices and door handles for door latches and door locks (refer to EN 1906);
b)   handles with handle length > 170 mm (refer to Figure B.1);
c)   electromechanical hardware.
