8、g informationThis British Standard is published by BSI Standards Limited, under licence fromThe British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 31 December 2012. Itwas prepared by Subcommittee B/538/1, Windows, and B/538/2, Doors, under theauthority of Technical Committee B/538, Doors, window
9、s, shutters, hardware andcurtain walling. A list of organizations represented on these committees can beobtained on request to their secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 644:2009, which is withdrawn.Relationship with other publicationsThe requirements for raw materials and prope
10、rties are given inBS EN 942:2007 and BS EN 14220:2006.This British Standard is also related to the following other standards. BS EN 14351-1 is the harmonized European product standard for windowsand external pedestrian doorsets without resistance to fire and smokeleakage characteristics. It gives a
11、list of performance characteristics andclassifications of performance, but does not give guidance on determiningthe appropriate classification for any specific application. BS 6375 is the national application document in the UK, giving performancerequirements and guidance for the selection of approp
12、riate classes ofperformance from BS EN 14351-1. The performance aspects in BS 6375 are referred to in BS 644. Guidance on the survey and installation of windows is given in BS 8213-4.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard. The principal change is to the scope of thest
13、andard, which has been expanded to cover external pedestrian doorsets.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrequirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is“shall”.Commentary, explanation and general i
14、nformative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British
15、Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.BRITISH STANDARDBS 644:2012ii The British Standards Institution1 ScopeThis British Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction andperformance of fully finished and glazed factory-assembled timber windows andexternal pedestrian do
16、orsets of various types.This British Standard applies to windows and doorsets that have been treatedwith either opaque or non-opaque finishes or that are designed to support anexternally fixed covering of another material, and that have beenfactory-glazed.
