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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 1999, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
14、latest by April 1999. The standard includes five informative annexes illustrating examples of target points and firing directions. According to the CENXENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria,
15、 Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. _ STD*CEN EN 1523-ENGL 1998 3404589 0180518 T78 I Page 4 EN 1523:1998 1 Scope This European Standard defines a t
16、est procedure to permit classification of the bullet resistance of windows, doors, shutters and blinds (complete with their infills). This European Standard concerns only behavior in respect of the frame of the windows, doors, shutters or blind, their infills and the junctions between the infills an
17、d frames. If the windows and doors are subjected to specific conditions of climate, specific conditions of test may be required. It does not apply to the testing of glass infills. For the testing of glass infills refer to prEN 1063. This European Standard gives no information on the behavior of the
18、frame subjected to other types of stresses. It gives no information on the bullet resistance of the junction between the frame and the wall or other surrounding structure. Shutters and Blinds must be tested separately and not in conjunction with a window or door, in order to achieve classification i
19、n terms of bullet resistance. NOTE : Care should be taken to ensure that all joints between the surrounding wall and the window, door, shutter or blind will have bullet resistance at least equal to that of the window, door, shutter or blind. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates
20、 by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European St
21、andard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

I STDSCEN EN L523-ENGL L778 E 3404587 OL805L7 704 I Page 5 EN 1523:1998 3.2 perforation Piercing of a test specim
23、en by a bullet or by bullet fragments, and/or creation of an opening from the attack face to the rear face. The following are considered to constitute perforation : a) passing through the test specimen by the bullet or any part of it ; b) splitting of the rear surface of the test specimen by the bul
24、let or part of it, even if the bullet is visibly retained in the rear of the test specimen ; c) creation of an opening right through the specimen, even if that opening closes again afterwards. Perforation has not occurred if none of the above criteria are fulfilled. 3.3 witness foil h Sheet of foil
25、positioned behind the test specimen in order to detect splinters ejected from the rear face of the test specimen by the impact of the bullet and to determine the risks of injury due to the ejection of these splinters. 3.4 splinters collecting box Receptacle for gathering splinters ejected from the r
26、ear face and bullet fragments passing through the test specimen, positioned between the test specimen and the witness foil. 3.5 presence or absence of splinters Presence of splinters, designated S is considered to be applicable when there is no perforation of the test specimen by the bullet or any p
27、art of it, but there is perforation of the witness foil caused by splinters which are ejected from the rear face of the test specimen. Absence of splinters, designated INS is considered to be applicable in all cases where there is no perforation of the witness foil. 3.6 attack face The face of a tes
28、t window, door, shutter or blind designed to face the attack. It corresponds to that face of the installed infill which is intended to fulfill the same function. 3.7 striking distance The distance between the centres of two target points on the test specimen. Page 6 EN 1523:1998 3.8 bullet velocity
29、The velocity of the bullet measured within 2,5m in front of the attack face of the test specimen. 3.9 test range The distance between the muzzle of the firearm and the attack face of the test specimen. 3.10 submission document Mandatory set of documents to be delivered to the testing laboratory with
30、 the test specimen. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Test specimen support The test specimen support shall be rigid enough not to deflect under the effect of impacts to which the test specimen is subjected. 4.2 Witness foil The witness foil consists of a sheet of aluminium foil 0,02 mm thick weighing 54/m*, large en
31、ough to detect all splinters that might be ejected from the test specimen and with the edges of the foil mounted rigidly in a frame. 4.3 Splinters collecting box 4.4 Shooting equipment 4.4.1 Ballistic Test Equipment The test may be conducted using either weapons or proof barrels. 4.4.2 Velocity meas
32、uring Device The bullet velocity has to be measured with a measuring device which offers an accuracy of f 1 ,O metres per second. 4.5 Ammunition The shots shall be carried out with ammunition corresponding to the required resistance class in Table 1 or 2 of EN 1522. Page 7 EN 1523: 1998 5 Test speci
33、men The number and types of test specimens required are determined by the testing laboratory from examination of the drawings of the complete window, door, shutter or blind. The size of the test specimen(s) shall be agreed between the testing laboratory and the applicant, and shall be such as to all
34、ow a valid judgment to be made on the bullet resistance of windows, doors, shutters and blinds of varying dimensions. Any infill shall be of uniform quality and shall be not smaller than 0,5 m x 0,5 m, except where the size of the complete infill is smaller. The attack face shall be clearly marked.
35、Infills shall be tested at the same time as the frame, except glass infills previously tested and conforming to prEN 1063. In all cases, the junctions between glass infill and frame shall be tested. Any glass infill shall have at least the same resistance as that required for the window or door. The
36、 test specimens shall be stored for not less than 24 h in the vertical position at a temperature of 18 OC k 5 OC, and shall be maintained at this temperature for the duration of the test. At the request of the applicant, the testing laboratory shall return the test specimen for retention, adequately
37、 and indelibly marked. 6 Procedure 6.1 Installation of test specimen, witness foil and splinters collecting box Install the test specimen, ensuring : a) the correct alignment between all components of the test specimen ; b) that the fixings do not create stresses which may influence the test result
38、in the test specimen ; c) that the hardware, mechanisms and movable sashes remain operable. In the case of shutters or blinds, the shutter laths or moving blind must be moved as far as possible to one side so as to obtain the maximum edge clearance (which can occur in use) between the leaf or blind
39、and the fixed frame. This is required to ensure that the maximum edge clearance which can occur in use is fired upon in the test. Position the witness foil 0,5m behind the test specimen (dimension taken from the mean center line of the test specimen). Position the splinters collecting box between th
40、e test specimen and the witness foil. Page 8 EN 1523:1998 6.2 Selection of target areas The choice of target areas shall depend on the design of the overall window, door, shutter or blind and shall be decided by the testing laboratory on the basis of their analysis of that design whereby they shall
41、have identified the sensitive areas, that is, those where the bullet trajectory can : a) meet the least resistance ; or b) bring about degradation such that it allows access to any opening mechanism which remains in operable condition ; or c) cause the unwanted opening of a window, door, shutter or
42、blind. NOTE : The sensitive areas of the window or door frame and shutter or blind are generally as follows : 1) armoured or reinforced areas (marked 1 and 6 in Annex A, 1 in Annex B, 1,3 and 4 in Annex C, 1,6 and 11 in Annex D and 1,4,6,7 and 9 in Annex E). These are generally made up by reinforcem
43、ent of the profiles constituting the frames or profiles and laths forming the curtain, the guide rails or the head box for a roller shutter or blind ; 2) junctions between frame and fixed or opening elements, and between infill and frame (marked 2,3,4 and 8 in Annex A, 3 in Annex B, 5 in Annex C, 2,
44、3,4,8,9,10 and 12 in Annex D and 2,3,5 and 8 in Annex E) or any junctions within the test specimen. These areas correspond in particular to the gaps between frame and opening sash and also to the infill rebate in which the infill is installed ; 3) hardware and construction joints (marked 5 and 7 in
45、Annex A, 2 in Annex 6,2,6 and 7 in Annex C, 3,4,5 and 7 in Annex D and 10 in Annex E). These include for example : - hinges, latches and operating devices (handles, locks) and their mountings ; - comer joints or profiles (butt joints or mitered joints) including cleats, screws welds, or other device
46、s which imply some irregularity in the level of resistance. If different thickness of reinforcement or different materials are used in different parts of the same frame, each one of these parts shall be tested. For a door supplied complete with its threshold, if the applicant asks for the threshold
47、to be tested the horizontal gap at floor level shall be subjected to firing. Otherwise the test report summary shall state that this location offers no bullet resistance. Page 9 EN 1523:1998 6.3 Arrangement of shots in the selected areas Each target area must receive three shots as determined in 6.2
48、. Target points shall be clearly marked on the test specimen prior to shooting. From examination of the drawings of the complete window, door, shutter or blind, the testing laboratory shall determine the target points. Three circumstances can be identified : a) if the area is sufficiently large in p
49、roportion to the calibre of the ammunition (for example, on opaque infills or large profiles) the 3 target points shall be chosen on the same element and the striking distances shall be not less than 120 mm (see 1 and 6 in Annex A, 1 , 6 and 11 in Annex D and 1,4,6,7 and 9 in Annex E) ; b) if the area is reduced to a line (for example butt joints, or junctions between profiles, and sashes or door leaves, and frames and their infills), if the line is long enough, the striking distance between the 3 target points shall be not less than 120 mm (see 3 in Annex A, 2,
