DINEN 16433:2014-06EN 16433:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods for the verification of the requirements relating to the protect
19、ion from strangulation. This European Standard applies to all internal blinds as specified in EN 13120, insect screens as specified in EN 13561 and to blinds in sealed glazed units. These products may be operated manually, with or without compensating springs, or by means of electric motors (power o
20、perated products). Although at the time this standard has been published, no product standard exists for draperies, test methods specified in the present standard may be used for such products. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this do
21、cument and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

25、hain(s), ball-chain(s), tape(s) and similar 4 General All tests defined in this standard shall be performed at 23 C 5 C. All dimensions, masses and forces shall be considered with a maximum tolerance of 1 %. Although all figures show free-hanging loads to apply forces, other methods of achieving the
26、 same effect may be used. Unless otherwise specified, a pulley of 20 mm diameter shall be used to apply the loads. Annex A presents a flowchart summarizing tests to be carried out on internal blinds. The internal blinds shall be installed according to the manufacturer specification so that the insta
27、llation, i.e. the test rig, the fixing, etc., has no influence on the results of tests. In the context of this standard, the term “cord(s)” used shall mean “cord(s), chain(s), ball-chain(s), tape(s) and similar”. The head probe shall have the dimensions and design specified in Figure 2. It shall be
28、made of a rigid material and shall have a smooth finish. NOTE This probe is taken from ANSI/WCMA A100.12010 and is equivalent to the small head probe defined in CEN/TR 13387:2004 (Table 3.3B) for children aged from 9 to 12 months.

30、ds. In the context of this standard, a family of products is defined with regard to the utilization of common safety device(s) and any design aspect relating to protection from strangulation. Within a family, the test sample shall be chosen so that the following conditions are fulfilled: Tensioning
31、systems: this test shall be carried out on an internal blind with the maximum length of the operating cord(s). Breakaway systems: the tests shall be carried out on an internal blind taking into account the maximum number of pull cord(s). Accumulation systems: the tests shall be carried out on an int
32、ernal blind taking into account the maximum length and number of pull cord(s) when the curtain is retracted. Inner cord(s): the tests shall be carried out on an internal blind taking into account the maximum distance between two consecutive points of attachment / retention. Within a family of produc
33、ts, there is no variation in the design of the internal blind that would affect the tangling test. 6 Breakaway system 6.1 General For the tests defined in 6.2 a test cylinder of 60 mm diameter made of a rigid material shall be inserted into the loop. The total mass specified in EN 13120 shall be gra
34、dually applied downwards. This mass shall include the mass of the cylinder. “Gradually” means there shall be no dynamic effect on the cord. NOTE The test cylinder is intended to represent the neck of a child. 6.2 Test method 6.2.1 Operating system consisting of a pull cord(s) forming a hazardous loo
35、p The length of the pull cord(s) shall be measured. The test shall be carried out on the breakaway system so that a breakaway device is successively located at the highest possible position, at the lowest position (at the bottom of the loop) and in the middle of the loop (see Figure 4). After a succ
36、essful breakaway test, the affected device shall be replaced. If several breakaway devices are used, they all shall be tested in the positions mentioned above.

37、 a breakaway system on a looped cord (example of a single breakaway device) If the performance of the breakaway system is independent of the position of any specific component (e.g. a breakaway device), the test shall be carried out with the loop in any position. 6.2.2 Operating system consisting of
38、 free hanging pull cord(s) connected together The length of the pull cord(s) shall be measured. The internal blind shall be placed in the fully retracted position (see Figure 5). If more than two cords are connected together, all possible loop combinations shall be tested. DIN EN 16433:2014-06 EN 16

It shall be verified that the tens
42、ioning system consisting of the pull cord(s), the control mechanism: the pulley and its housing, and the fixed retaining device maintaining the cord(s) under tension, shall not break under the application of a horizontal load applied in the middle of the cord(s) (see Figure 7). Where a tensioning sy
43、stem is designed to accept more than one cord, each cord shall be tested separately. DINEN 16433:2014-06EN 16433:2014 (E) 11 Key 1 pull cord(s) 2 control mechanism 3 fixed retaining device Figure 7 Principle of the test of tensioning system 7.2 Test method All installation positions described in the
44、 installation instructions of the manufacturer shall be tested. The distance between the two strands of the loop shall be measured at the point of exit from the fixed tensioning system (see Figure 8). DINEN 16433:2014-06EN16433:2014(E)12 Key 1 distance between the two strands Figure 8 Measurement of
45、 the distance between the two strands The length of the pull cord(s) shall be measured. A horizontal force shall be gradually applied in the plane and at mid-point of the height of the loop (see Figure 7) until the load defined in EN 13120 is applied to the cord. Gradually means there shall be no dy
46、namic effect on the cord. The load shall be then maintained for 10 s. The test shall be repeated with the force being applied in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the cord. 8 Accumulation system 8.1 General This subclause applies to internal blinds for which extension and retraction of the
47、 curtain leads to a change in length of the pull cord(s). It shall be verified that the full length of pull cord(s) can be accumulated at any position of the curtain, including fully retracted. 8.2 Test method The length of the pull cord(s) shall be measured when the internal blind is in the fully e
48、xtended position. The pull cord(s) shall be accumulated according to the instructions of the manufacturer when the internal blind is in the fully retracted position. DIN EN 16433:2014-06 EN 16433:2014 (E) 13 9 Tangling test 9.1 General This subclause applies to internal blinds where the operating system consists of two free hanging pull cords. In this situation, it shall be verified that the two cords present cannot tangle producing a hazardous loop. 9.2 Test method One cord shall be twisted around the ot
