21、ed by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling“, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by De
22、cember 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by 2014-12-10. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such paten
23、t rights. This document supersedes EN 1932:2001. The main changes incorporated in this revision are: A complete editorial review of the document has been carried out. Pergola awnings have been added in accordance with the modification of the scope of EN 13561. The possibility to apply a uniformly di
24、stributed load with a mattress has been added for some products (e.g. Awnings with lateral guiderail with fabric running into the lateral rails without tension system). The test method for External Venetian Blinds has been changed: the bar test has been replaced by a test with a pneumatic device. Th
25、is document is part of a series of standards dealing with external blinds and shutters fitted to buildings as defined in EN 12216. The tests defined in this standard conventionally reproduce the positive and negative pressures due to the wind applied to external blinds and shutters. Under these cond
26、itions, these tests allows the verification that external blinds and shutters as a whole fulfil the requirements specified in EN 13561 and EN 13659, namely: no unacceptable visual defects appears; the suitability for use is maintained; the safety of users is maintained. This European Standard is one
27、 of a package of inter-related European Standards with a common date of withdrawal (dow) fixed on December 2013: EN 1932, External blinds and shutters Resistance to wind loads Method of testing and performance criteria; EN 13330, Shutters Hard body impact and prevention of access Test methods; EN 13

29、owing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,

BS EN 1932:2013EN 1932:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope The European Standard specifies the test methods to evaluate the wind resistance of external blinds and shutters to be fitted to buildings, in f
31、ront of windows, doors or faades and delivered as a complete unit. This European Standard applies to: shutters: roller shutter, external venetian blind, wing shutter, venetian shutter, concertina shutter, flat closing concertina shutter and sliding panel shutter (including those with projection syst
32、ems); external blinds: folding arm awning, trellis arm awning, pivot arm awning, marquisolette, vertical awning, faade awning, conservatory awning, roof window awning, Pergola awning and insect screen whatever the nature of the constituent materials, under normal operating conditions and installed i
33、n compliance with the manufacturers installations instructions. This European Standard does not cover non retractable shutters, external blinds and awnings such as Dutch awnings and brise-soleil as well as the structural part of Pergolas. NOTE The wind resistance of such products can be evaluated by
34、 calculations. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

41、on for each product type (see 4.2). The test results obtained can then be applied to all more favourable configurations and to all smaller dimensions in the particular product design. NOTE For example, for the same dimensions, a conservatory awning with relieving rollers could be considered a better
42、 configuration than without relieving rollers, for the same product design. 4.2 Dimensions of test samples 4.2.1 General The dimensional technical limits are the maximum dimensions for the width and height (Lmaxand Hmax) associated with the maximum surface area (Smax) specified by the manufacturer.
43、Figure 1 Dimensions of test samples To be representative of a range, the samples submitted for test shall be of the following dimensions (see Figure 1): BS EN 1932:2013EN 1932:2013 (E) 8 the maximum width associated with the greatest height achievable with this width (Lmaxx H0), and the maximum heig
44、ht associated with the greatest width achievable with this height (L0xHmax), the two tests being necessary for a same range. In the case of folding and trellis arm awnings, the maximum width for one pair of arms is the basis of the test. 4.2.2 Characterisation of height H In the case of awnings, H i
45、s the distance between the axis of the roller tube and the extremity of the front or bottom bar (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). In the case the projection of the awning is made of two parts (e.g. for marquisolette), the height H is the sum of the vertical and the projected part: H = H1+ H2(see Figure 3
46、). In the case of roller shutters and external venetian blinds, H is the height of the visible part of the curtain including the bottom lath (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). In the case of others shutters, H is the height of the curtain. In the case of conservatory blind with relieving roller(s), the he
47、ight to be considered is either the distance between the roller tube and the first relieving roller, or between two relieving rollers, or between the last relieving rollers and the front profile, whichever is the maximum distance. 4.2.3 Characterisation of width L In the case of awnings, L is the wi
48、dth of the fabric. In the case of shutters, L is the visible width of the curtain.
