General Information

Abstract

This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of resistance to dynamic loading in order to assess the burglar resistant properties of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters. It is applicable to the following means of opening: Turning, tilting, folding, turn-tilting, top or bottom hung, sliding (horizontally and vertically) and rolling as well as fixed constructions. There are two aspects to the burglar resistance performance of construction products, their normal resistance to forced operation and their ability to remain fixed to the building. Due to the limitation of reproducing the fixing methods and building construction in a laboratory environment this aspect is not fully covered by the standard. This is particularly true with products built into a building. The performance of the fixed part of the product is evaluated using a standard sub frame. It is the manufacturer´s responsibility to ensure that guidance on the fixing of the product is contained in the mounting instructions and that this guidance is suitable for the burglar resistance class claimed for the product. As with the other referenced standards this specification uses a standard sub frame and the product is mounted according to the manufacturer´s instructions. The fixing method to be considered is detailed in Annex A of EN 1627:2011. This test method does not evaluate the performance of the fixing to the building. This European Standard does not apply to 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, as covered by EN 13241-1.

Overview

EN 1629:2011/FprA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard EN 1629 that defines a dynamic loading test method for assessing burglar resistance of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters. The test method measures how these building elements resist dynamic impact loads to support classification of their burglar‑resistant performance. The standard covers a wide range of opening types (turning, tilting, folding, turn‑tilting, top/bottom hung, sliding horizontally/vertically, rolling and fixed constructions).

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and applicability
    • Test method specifically for resistance under dynamic loading for pedestrian doors, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters.
    • Excludes doors/gates primarily intended for goods/vehicle access (see EN 13241-1).
  • Test specimen mounting
    • Products are mounted in a standard sub frame and installed according to the manufacturer’s mounting instructions.
    • The standard evaluates product performance on the sub frame only; performance of the fixing to the building is not fully assessed. Manufacturers must provide appropriate fixing guidance for the claimed burglar resistance class.
  • Test procedure amendments (FprA1)
    • Products intended for non‑vertical installation (e.g., rooflights) shall be tested in vertical orientation.
    • If glass breaks during testing, the test continues with broken glass in situ; adhesive film may be applied to protect the tester.
    • The impactor at rest must be positioned 10 mm ± 5 mm from the test specimen face.
    • The gauge movement direction shall be perpendicular to the gauge’s largest cross section when expressing results.
  • Reference to related requirements
    • Fixing methods to be considered are detailed in Annex A of EN 1627:2011 (resistance to burglary - assemblies and products).

Applications and users

  • Intended for:
    • Manufacturers of pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles and shutters to validate and declare burglar resistance.
    • Test laboratories performing dynamic impact testing and certification.
    • Architects, specifiers and security consultants selecting products to meet security performance requirements.
    • Building owners and facility managers assessing retrofit or replacement options for improved physical security.
  • Practical use:
    • Supporting product classification in security standards and technical specifications.
    • Informing mounting instructions and on‑site fixing requirements to achieve claimed performance.

Related standards

  • EN 1627 series (resistance to burglary) - referenced for fixing methods and broader classification context.
  • EN 13241-1 - excludes goods/vehicle access doors from this test method.

Keywords: EN 1629, burglar resistance, dynamic loading test, pedestrian doorsets, windows, curtain walling, grilles, shutters, CEN, impact test, mounting instructions.
