30、: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 25/03/2008 07:45, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI6 Introduction There are a number of methods of evaluating the mechanical performance of stairs. These include: - testing, - calculation, - conventional accepted performance. All methods have equal validity. This s
31、tandard identifies a number of possible test methods which can be used. 1 Scope This Technical Specification gives test methods for prefabricated timber stairs. These stairs are made from timber and/or wood-based materials. The methods included in this document can also be used for single components
32、 used in stairs (e.g. steps, handrails, balusters, ). This document does not consider the overall structure design of these elements. Stairs that are designed to contribute to the overall stability of the works or to the strength of the structure are not covered by this standard. The surfaces of the
33、 timber elements may be exposed or covered by finishes. NOTE 1 Where stairs are supplied with a finish or covering, some basic characteristics will not be covered by this standard and references should be made to the appropriate product standard (e.g. colour fastness of carpet finishes) NOTE 2 Where
34、 the term “stair“ is used in this document, it may also apply to individual element or component where appropriate Tests can be carried out on a complete fully assembled system according to manufacturer installation instructions or on individual components. A fully assembled stair test cannot be use
35、d to evaluate individual components. There is no particular hierarchy of sequences or the need to carry out all the tests. NOTE The nature of used tests and elements can be given by national regulations. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application
36、of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

38、ons For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 14076:2004 and in prEN 15644:2007 apply. 4 Determination of mechanical strength of balusters under static load on prefabricated railing system : handrails or balustrades 4.1 General This test provides a method to determine
39、mechanical strength under concentrated static load of balusters made also with different materials, being a part of prefabricated railing system, handrails or balustrades. This test applies to all handrails or balustrades of any material used for their construction, as usually installed and used, ac
40、cording to producer recommendations, in a construction. It does not apply to handrails or balustrades made on site and/or installed with building works. 4.2 Principle Application of a concentrated load on a standardized conical element put between two balusters, checking deformations and possible br
41、eaks of these elements and their anchorages. NOTE The conical element is the concentrated load application device made with rigid material ( for wood 700 kg/m3), cone-shaped or frustum of cone, with 30 summit angle and base diameter 200 mm. 4.3 Equipment 4.3.1 A support structure which is composed b
42、y rigid frame to fix the components system of, balustrade or handrail , according to producer instruction : such a frame shall allow the installation of different components in horizontal or vertical position (balustrade or handrail), see Figure 1.

45、ters. 4.6 Procedure For individual components, tested system shall be fixed into the support structure; The top of the tested element, next to load application point of the balusters, shall be locked, to avoid deformations during load application; Put load application system, so that the interpositi
46、on cone is placed between two balusters on the worst position, typically closest to the half of their height, measured between the lowest and the upper anchorage; Apply the load according to tested elements use (see prEN 15644:2007, Table A.3); load application shall be progressive (not less than 5
47、s) and in direction towards the external side of the balustrade or handrail (see Figure 2) and maintain for 15 minutes ; Measure the largest distance between the two balusters, within 2 minutes of load application and at the end of the test or note the damage, if any, at the level checked or done ;
48、The test shall be repeated for each sample (at least 3 pairs of balusters).
