2、implies 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 ha
3、s approved 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 Natio
4、nal Standard is permitted to be revised or withdrawn at any time.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.

It was approved by ANSI under the canvass method. BHMA was accredited on 21 March 1983 as a sponsor using the Canvass Method. 3 FOREWORD (This
7、Foreword is not a part of ANSI/BHMA A156.26) The general classification of builders hardware includes a wide variety of items which are divided into several categories. To recognize this diversity, a sectional classification system has been established. Continuous Hinges is one such section and this
8、 Standard is a result of the collective efforts of members of the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, Inc. who manufacture these products. The total Product Standards effort is, therefore, a collection of sections, each covering a specific category of items. Performance tests and, where nec
9、essary, dimensional requirements have been established to insure a degree of safety and stability. There are no restrictions on design except for those dimensional requirements imposed. This Standard is not intended to obstruct but rather to encourage the development of improved products, methods an
10、d materials. The BHMA recognizes that errors will be found, items will become obsolete, and new products, methods and materials will be developed. With this in mind, the Association plans to update, correct and revise these Standards on a regular basis. It shall also be the responsibility of manufac
11、turers to request such appropriate revisions. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Page 1. Scope . 5 2. Definitions 5 3. General 6 4. Test Equipment . 7 5. Test Procedures . 7 6.
