General Information

Abstract

This European Standard specifies the criteria which windows, doors and shutters shall satisfy to achieve a classification when submitted to the test method described in EN 13124-1.
This European Standard concerns a method of test against blast waves generated by using a shock tube facility to simulate a high explosive detonation in the order of 100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT at distances from about 35 m to 50 m.
This European Standard is applicable to blast overpressure generated in a shock tube test facility used to simulate a high explosive detonation on windows, doors and shutters, complete with their frames and infills, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. It gives no information on the explosion resistance capacity of the wall or other surrounding structure.

To achieve aparticular class of explosion resistance, the test specimen shall(a) be subjected to not less than the corresponding level of each of peak pressure, positive specificimpulse and minimum duration specified in clause 5, Table 1and,(b) show no perforation or damage exceeding that specified in 9.2 of EN 13124-1:2001.SIST EN 13123-1:2001

Page 5EN 13123-1:2001After the test the door leaf and/or any opening sash shall remain retained in the closed positionwhether the opening mechanisms shall be still operable or not. It shall not be possible to gainunauthorised access from the attack face as a result of damage or exposure during the test of anysecurity closure mechanisms which were intentionally secure prior to the test. It is not a requirementof the test that performance in other respects such as air permeability, watertightness, windresistance etc. be maintained.If the intended application of the window, door and shutter is such that it will be specifically subjectedto climatic extremes, the test specimen shall be tested at these climatic extremes.NOTE Care should be taken to ensure that all joints between the wall and the window or door haveprotection which is at least equal to that of the window or door.5Classification of the level of explosion pressure resistance (EPR)The classes EPR1 to EPR4 given in Table 1 are in order of increasing explosion pressure resistance.When a window, door or shutter achieves a particular class it also automatically achieves all lowerclasses.Table 1 - Characteristics of the shock waveMinimum values of :Classification codePeak pressurePmax baraPositive specific impulsioni+ bar-msEPR10,503,7EPR21,009,0EPR31,5015,0EPR42,0022,0aThe duration of the positive phase (t+) shall be not less than 20 msNOTE 1The classification refers to the reflected pressure values which the test specimen experiences.NOTE 2A latitude of -5 %
