22、DIN EN 16281:2013-04 EN 16281:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for locking devices fitted by consumers for restricting the opening of windows and balcony doors by children younger than 51 months and intended to prevent the passage of young children. D
23、evices that only lock the window in its completely closed position are excluded from the scope of this standard. NOTE Child resistant locking devices intended to be installed by professionals are beyond the scope of this standard; for such products refer to EN 13126-5. 2 Normative references The fol
24、lowing documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

30、against it, and in this way creates a vacuum 4 Requirements 4.1 Child protective functions 4.1.1 General The release mechanism of the locking device shall be protected against unintentional opening by young children. It shall either: a) require the use of a specifically designed removable device or
31、removable tool (e.g. a key); or b) comply with the child panel test requirements in 4.1.2. The removable device or removable tool shall be removable in the restricted and closed/locked position of the window or balcony door. It is recommended that locking devices be capable of easy operation by adul
32、ts including people with special needs. 4.1.2 Requirements concerning the child panel test 4.1.2.1 General The locking device shall comply with either 4.1.2.2 or 4.1.2.3. NOTE The minimum number of children required in the sequential test depends on how many children can open the child resistant mec
33、hanism. This number can be as low as 30. 4.1.2.2 Test panel of 200 children If the full test panel of 200 children is used when testing in accordance with 5.4, the following requirements shall be met: a) at least 85 % of the children in the test panel shall be unable to disengage the locking device
34、within the first 5 min without a demonstration, and b) at least 80 % of the children in the test panel shall be unable to disengage the locking device within another 5 min after a demonstration has been given to those children unable to disengage the device in the first 5 min. 4.1.2.3 Sequential tes
35、t less than 200 children If the full test panel is not used when testing in accordance with 5.4, the result is obtained from completing Figure 1 and Figure 2 as follows: a) The result of the test is a failure if the child succeeds in disengaging the locking device. DIN EN 16281:2013-04 EN 16281:2013
36、 (E) 6 b) As each result is obtained, it shall be plotted on the appropriate chart by filling in a square as follows: 1) Fill in a square immediately to the right of the previous result on Figure 1 if the child failed to disengage the locking device in the first 5 min, and on Figure 2 if the child f
37、ailed to disengage the locking device in the second 5 min, i.e. if the result is a success. 2) Fill in a square immediately above the previous result on Figure 1 and Figure 2 if the child succeeded in disengaging the locking device in the first 5 min, or only on Figure 2 if the child succeeded in di
38、sengaging the locking device in the second 5 min, i.e. if the result is a failure. NOTE In the case of the first result to be plotted, the blanked out square is regarded as the “previous result”. The locking device shall be deemed to have: passed the test as soon as the trail of filled squares passe
39、s below limit line 1 on both Figure 1 and Figure 2; failed the test as soon as the trail of filled squares passes above limit line 2 on either Figure 1 or Figure 2. If neither occurs, the results shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements laid down in 4.1.2.2. Key 1 number of locking devi

43、essed in accordance with the requirements laid down in 4.1.2.2. 4.1.2.5 Additional information to be recorded Any other information deemed to be useful in assessing the interpretation of the result, such as the time required for children to disengage the windows locking device and, where appropriate
44、, to engage it properly, the method used by children to disengage it, etc. shall be recorded. 4.2 Mechanical functions and structural integrity The locking device should maintain its mechanical properties throughout its expected lifetime taking into account the relevant climate conditions. The manuf
45、acturer shall indicate the type(s) of window or balcony doors (e.g. hinged or sliding) including the materials (e.g. aluminium, PVC, wood) for which the locking device is suitable In particular, the manufacturer shall ensure that the fixing (e.g. screws) of the locking device is suitable for the rec
46、ommended material(s). Suction cups shall not be used for the fixing of the locking device. When tested according to 5.5.2 to 5.5.7 none of the tested items or any part of the items shall be broken or have any visible cracks or permanent deformation or disengage. The devices shall be fully functional
47、 during and after the tests. When tested in accordance with 5.5.4, test probe A defined in 5.2.8 shall not be able to pass through the opening between sash and frame. NOTE Ideally, the locking device would automatically re-engage when closing the window after having been completely disengaged. Howev
48、er, at this point in time this is not a requirement. It may become a requirement in future.
