1、 ANSI/BHMA A156.16 - 2013 Revision of ANSI/BHMA A156.16 2008 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR AUXILIARY HARDWARE SPONSOR BUILDERS HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION, INC. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE Approved October 23, 2013 2 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD An American National Standard implies
2、a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. An American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the general public. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has appro
3、ved the Standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standard. American National Standards are subject to periodic review and users are cautioned to obtain the latest editions. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Stan
4、dard is permitted to be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise or withdraw this Standard no later than five years from the date of publication. Purchasers of American National Standards receive cu
5、rrent information on all Standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

6、ed without specific authorization from BHMA Printed in the USA This Standard was approved by ANSI under the Canvass Method. BHMA was accredited on 21 March 1983 by ANSI as a sponsor using the Canvass Method. 3 FOREWORD (This Foreword is not a part of ANSI Al56.l6) The general classification of build
7、ers hardware includes a wide variety of items which are divided into several categories. To recognize this diversity, a sectional classification system has been established. Auxiliary Hardware is one such section and this Standard is the result of the collective efforts of members of the Builders Ha
8、rdware Manufacturers Association who manufacture this product. The total Product Standards effort is, therefore, a collection of sections, each covering a specific category of items. Performance tests and, where it has been necessary, material and dimensional requirements have been established to in
9、sure safety, security and stability to which the public is entitled. There are no restrictions on design, except for those dimensional requirements imposed for the reasons given above. It is also required that some hardware items fit certain specified cutout dimensions. The BHMA recognizes that erro
10、rs will be found, items will become obsolete, and new products, methods and materials will be developed. With this in mind, the Association will update, correct and revise these Standards on a regular basis. In most cases, products have been described in grade levels related to performance. Grade cl
11、assifications indicate levels only within their own product category. Choice of grade and specific product are made on the basis of utility, aesthetics, security objectives and end use desired. The BHMA numbers which indicate types of hardware do not necessarily identify size or finish and are not i
12、ntended to be used without necessary supplementary information. Individual manufacturers catalogs are consulted. Use of some products described in this Standard on doors within a means of egress or fire door assemblies are regulated by authorities having jurisdiction. Applicable codes, ordinances an
13、d standards are to be consulted. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. SCOPE 5 2. DEFINITIONS 5 3. GENERAL .6 4.
