20、 methods for locking devices fitted by consumers for restricting the opening of windows and balcony doors by children younger than 51 months and intended to prevent the passage of young children. Devices that only lock the window in its completely closed position are excluded from the scope of this

21、standard. NOTE Child resistant locking devices intended to be installed by professionals are beyond the scope of this standard; for such products refer to EN 13126-5. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensabl

27、 suction cup means of temporarily attaching an object to a smooth surface made of soft, flexible, polymeric material, normally having a circular base which adheres to the surface when pressed against it, and in this way creates a vacuum 4 Requirements 4.1 Child protective functions 4.1.1 General The

28、 release mechanism of the locking device shall be protected against unintentional opening by young children. It shall either: a) require the use of a specifically designed removable device or removable tool (e.g. a key); or b) comply with the child panel test requirements in 4.1.2. The removable dev

29、ice or removable tool shall be removable in the restricted and closed/locked position of the window or balcony door. It is recommended that locking devices be capable of easy operation by adults including people with special needs. 4.1.2 Requirements concerning the child panel test 4.1.2.1 General T

30、he locking device shall comply with either 4.1.2.2 or 4.1.2.3. NOTE The minimum number of children required in the sequential test depends on how many children can open the child resistant mechanism. This number can be as low as 30. 4.1.2.2 Test panel of 200 children If the full test panel of 200 ch

31、ildren is used when testing in accordance with 5.4, the following requirements shall be met: a) at least 85 % of the children in the test panel shall be unable to disengage the locking device within the first 5 min without a demonstration, and b) at least 80 % of the children in the test panel shall

32、 be unable to disengage the locking device within another 5 min after a demonstration has been given to those children unable to disengage the device in the first 5 min. 4.1.2.3 Sequential test less than 200 children If the full test panel is not used when testing in accordance with 5.4, the result

33、is obtained from completing Figure 1 and Figure 2 as follows: a) The result of the test is a failure if the child succeeds in disengaging the locking device. BS EN 16281:2013EN 16281:2013 (E) 6 b) As each result is obtained, it shall be plotted on the appropriate chart by filling in a square as foll

34、ows: 1) Fill in a square immediately to the right of the previous result on Figure 1 if the child failed to disengage the locking device in the first 5 min, and on Figure 2 if the child failed to disengage the locking device in the second 5 min, i.e. if the result is a success. 2) Fill in a square i

35、mmediately above the previous result on Figure 1 and Figure 2 if the child succeeded in disengaging the locking device in the first 5 min, or only on Figure 2 if the child succeeded in disengaging the locking device in the second 5 min, i.e. if the result is a failure. NOTE In the case of the first

36、result to be plotted, the blanked out square is regarded as the “previous result”. The locking device shall be deemed to have: passed the test as soon as the trail of filled squares passes below limit line 1 on both Figure 1 and Figure 2; failed the test as soon as the trail of filled squares passes

37、 above limit line 2 on either Figure 1 or Figure 2. If neither occurs, the results shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements laid down in 4.1.2.2.

41、r information deemed to be useful in assessing the interpretation of the result, such as the time required for children to disengage the windows locking device and, where appropriate, to engage it properly, the method used by children to disengage it, etc. shall be recorded. 4.2 Mechanical functions

42、 and structural integrity The locking device should maintain its mechanical properties throughout its expected lifetime taking into account the relevant climate conditions. The manufacturer shall indicate the type(s) of window or balcony doors (e.g. hinged or sliding) including the materials (e.g. a

43、luminium, PVC, wood) for which the locking device is suitable In particular, the manufacturer shall ensure that the fixing (e.g. screws) of the locking device is suitable for the recommended material(s). Suction cups shall not be used for the fixing of the locking device. When tested according to 5.

44、5.2 to 5.5.7 none of the tested items or any part of the items shall be broken or have any visible cracks or permanent deformation or disengage. The devices shall be fully functional during and after the tests. When tested in accordance with 5.5.4, test probe A defined in 5.2.8 shall not be able to

45、pass through the opening between sash and frame. NOTE Ideally, the locking device would automatically re-engage when closing the window after having been completely disengaged. However, at this point in time this is not a requirement. It may become a requirement in future. BS EN 16281:2013EN 16281:2

46、013 (E) 8 4.3 Small parts Any small component, which is removable or becomes detached when tested according to 5.5.8, shall not fit wholly within the small parts cylinder described in 5.2.4. Specifically designed removable devices or removable tools (e.g. keys) are exempt from the requirement. 4.4 S

47、mall balls Any small ball, which is removable or becomes detached when tested according to 5.5.9, shall not entirely pass through the small ball template described in 5.2.6. 4.5 Sharp edges There shall be no accessible edges that present an unreasonable risk of injury. a) Edges of metal or glass are

48、 considered as potentially hazardous sharp edges if they are sharp as determined according to 5.5.10. If the edges fail the test, they shall be assessed to determine whether they present an unreasonable risk of injury, taking into account the foreseeable use of the device. Regardless of the manner i

49、n which the edges are finished, they shall be tested according to 5.5.10. NOTE Edges may be folded, rolled or spiralled in order to make them inaccessible or protected by a coating of plastic or other similar material. b) In overlap joints, the edge of the sheet metal shall conform to item a) when the sheet metal has a thickness of 0,5 mm or less and the clearance to the underlying surface is greater than 0,7 mm. c) Edges of metal includin
