17、actice, refer to Terminologies C634 and E631, unless otherwiseindicated.4. Significance and Use4.1 Air Leakage Relative to Sound TransmissionCertain frequencies are more susceptible to sound transmission throughcavities or discontinuities in the test specimen; therefore, the air leakage of the test
18、specimen is reported to allow the approvingauthority information relative to air tightness.NOTE 1The AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101 I.S.2 A440 document provides air leakage acceptance criteria for these products based on their performanceclass. Acoustical products could require a lower air leakage rate than what
19、 is required in this standard in order to achieve the desired acousticalperformance.4.2 Operating Force Relative to Sound TransmissionThe use of specific sealing components to achieve a given sound ratingcould affect operating force of the vertical or horizontal sliding sash or panels of the assembl
20、y; therefore, operating force is reportedto allow the approving authority information relative to sash or panel operating forces.NOTE 2The opening force in 28 CFR Part 36 ADA for interior hinged doors and sliding doors is limited to 22.2 N (5 lbf).5 lbf (22.2 N). TheAAMA/WDMA/CSA 101 I.S.2 A440 docu
21、ment provides operating force acceptance criteria for products based on their performance class.4.3 Latching forceForce Relative to Sound TransmissionLatching force can affect the compression of seals and the amountof damping applied to the system that in turn affects the air leakage and the acousti
22、cal performance. The use of specific sealingcomponents and latching/locking hardware can affect the force required to close and latch the door under test. The latching forceis reported to allow the approving authority information relative to sash or panel latching conditions.NOTE 3The AAMA/WDMA/CSA
23、101 I.S.2 A440 document states that the latchingmaximum force shall not exceed 65 N (15 lbf).to latch shall bemeasured and reported.5. Test Specimen5.1 Assemblies to be tested in accordance with this practice shall be representative of those produced by the manufacturer orfabricator. Test specimens
24、shall be sealed, painted or otherwise finished or prepared only as they would normally be prepared foractual installation and use. Test specimens shall be mounted for testing as specified by each applicable test method.5.1.1 Test specimens shall not be modified with supplementary adhesives, sealants
25、, tapes, or clamping devices not normally apart of the product.5.2 The test specimen size for window, door, skylight, and glazed wall systems are listed below in Table 1.The . The window,sliding door, glazed wall system, sloped glazing system, skylight, and roof window test specimen size shall not v
26、ary by more than25 mm (i in.)1 in. (25 mm) for either dimension. The single and double hinged door test specimen width shall not vary by morethan 50 mm (2 in.)2 in. (50 mm) and the height shall not vary by more than 75 mm (3 in.).3 in. (75 mm).6. Test Methods6.1 The sequence of testing shall be: ope
27、rating force (if applicable); followed by latching force (if applicable); followed by airleakage; and ending with sound transmission loss. If additional sash or panels are tested in the same specimen frame, the completesequence of tests shall be repeated for each set of sash or panels. The specimen
28、shall be opened and closed (where applicable) atleast five times prior to conducting the operating, latching force and air leakage tests.6.2 Operating forceForceThe operating force test shall be conducted on horizontal or vertical operating windows andsliding doors in accordance with ASTM E2068. For
29、 dual windows or doors, the operating force shall be measured on both setsof sash or panels. The operating force of rotary operators shall be determined in accordance with the procedures contained in theAAMA/WDMA/CSA 101I.S.2A440 standard.6.2.1 The operating force shall not exceed the maximum force
30、to initiate motion and the maximum force to maintain motioncriteria contained in the AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101I.S.2A440 standard. If adjustments need to be made, the operating force shallbe remeasured.6.3 Latching forceForceLatching force tests shall be conducted on swinging (side-hinged) doors with latches
31、. The latchingforce test shall be conducted in accordance with procedures contained in the AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101I.S.2A440 standard. Formultiple doors, such as dual doors (back to back) or double doors (side by side) the latching force shall be conducted on all panelscontaining latching hardware.7 Availa

If adjustments need to be made, the operating force and latching force must beremeasured.NOTE 4A swinging door is defined as closed when the latch is fully secured in the strike plate and the door remains in the closed position.6.4
34、 Air leakage testLeakage TestThe air leakage test shall be performed in accordance with Test Method E283. The airleakage test pressure for windows, doors, and skylights shall be as specified in theAAMA/WDMA/CSA 101I.S.2A440 standard.The air leakage test for glazed wall and sloped glazing systems sha
35、ll be initially conducted at a test pressure of 75 Pa (1.57 psf)1.57psf (75 Pa) and then at a test pressure 300 Pa (6.24 psf).6.24 psf (300 Pa).TABLE 1 Test Specimen SizeWindow Descriptions Width (mm) Height (mm) Width (in.)
