Introduction

This European Standard specifies the technical characteristics of curtain walling kit and includes a systematic
framework of requirements, test methods and compliance criteria to allow the product to fulfil with it.

Curtain walling kit might not be completed in all respects within a manufacturing area, and some kit
components could be supplied separately on site. Curtain walling kit could be also preassembled in plant(s) as
prefabricated units.

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies requirements of curtain walling kit intended to be used as a building
envelope to provide weather resistance, safety in use and energy economy and heat retention and provides
test/assessments/calculation methods and compliance criteria of the related performances.

The curtain walling kit covered by this standard should fulfil its own integrity and mechanical stability but does
not contribute to the load bearing or stability of the main building structure, and could be replaced
independently of it.

This standard applies to curtain walling kit ranging from a vertical position to ± 15° from the vertical. Any
sloping parts should be contained within the curtain walling kit.

This standard is applicable to the whole of the curtain walling kits, including the fixings.

Curtain walling according to this standard is intended to be used as part of the building envelope.

This European Standard does not include:

— “Patent glazing” (glazed sloping roofs) kits;

— Roof glazing constructions;

— Façades made of precast concrete panels as part of the wall (see EN 14992).

NOTE 1 Precast concrete panels may be used in curtain walling kits as infill panels.

NOTE 2 Durability of structural sealed glazing infills is not covered by this standard.

6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP)

6.1 General

The compliance of curtain walling kit with the requirements of this standard and with the performances
declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by:

— determination of the product type;

— factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.

The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).

NOTE The assignment of tasks to the notified body(ies) and the manufacturer is shown in Table ZA.3.

6.2 Type testing

6.2.1 General

All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the
manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for
declaring them without performing tests (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally
accepted performance).

Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into
account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP
system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results
are applicable to the product in question.

NOTE 1 Same AVCP system means testing by an independent third party (only for products covered by system 1 and
3), under the responsibility of a notified product certification body (only for products covered by system 1).

For the purposes of assessment, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is
considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are
representative for those same characteristics for all products within that same family.

When grouping products into families, the value of a characteristic given on the Declaration of Performance
for the group shall be the worst value for the products in the group.

NOTE 2 Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.

Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.

In addition, the determination of the product type shall be performed for all characteristics included in the
standard for which the manufacturer declares the performance:

— at the beginning of the production of a new or modified curtain walling kit (unless a member of the same
product range), or

— at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties);
or

— they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the curtain
walling kit design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the method of production
(subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics.

Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component
manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not
be re-assessed (see Annex F). The specifications of these components shall be documented.

Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European specifications may
be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility
on the curtain walling kit manufacturer to ensure that the curtain walling kit as a whole is correctly
manufactured and its component products have the declared performance values.

6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria

6.2.3 Test reports

The results of the determination of the product type shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall
be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the curtain walling kit
to which they relate.

6.2.4 Cascading determination of the product type results

For some construction products, there are companies (often called “system houses”) which supply or ensure
the supply of, on the basis of an agreement, some or all of the components (e.g. profiles, gaskets, weather
strips, hardware) to an manufacturer who then assembles the finished product (referred to below as the
manufacturer) in his factory.

NOTE 1 A system house is a company which supplies or ensures the supply of, on the basis of agreement, some or all
of the components (e.g. profiles, gaskets, weather strips for curtain walling kit) to an manufacturer who then assembles
the finished product (referred to below as the manufacturer) in his factory. These companies may produce components but
they are not required to do so.

NOTE 2 The agreement can be, for instance, a contract, a licence or whatever kind of written agreement, which should
also contain clear provisions with regard to responsibility and liability of the component producer (system house, on the
one hand, and the manufacturer of the finished product, on the other hand.

Provided that the activities for which such a system house is legally established include
manufacturing/assembling of products as the assembled one, the system house may take the responsibility
for the determination of the product type regarding one or several essential characteristics of an end product
which is subsequently manufactured and/or assembled by other firms in their own factory.

When doing so, the system house shall submit an “assembled product” using components manufactured by it
or by others, to the determination of the product type and then make the determination of the product type
report available to the assemblers, i.e. the actual manufacturer of the product placed on the market.

To take into account such a situation, the concept of cascading determination of the product type might be
taken into consideration in the technical specification, provided that this concerns characteristics for which
either a notified product certification body or a notified test laboratory intervene, as presented below.

The determination of the product type report that the system house has obtained with regard to tests carried
out by a notified body, and which is supplied to the assemblers, may be used for the regulatory marking
purposes without the manufacturer having to involve again a notified body to undertake the determination of
the product type of the essential characteristic(s) that were already tested, provided that:

— the manufacturer assembles a product which uses the same combination of components (components
with the same characteristics), and in the same way, as that for which the system house has obtained the
determination of the product type report. If this report is based on a combination of components not
representing the final product as to be placed on the market, and/or is not assembled in accordance with
the system house’s instruction for assembling the components, the manufacturer needs to submit his
finished product to the determination of the product type;

— the system house has notified to the manufacturer the instructions for manufacturing/assembling the
product and installation guidance;

— the manufacturer assumes the responsibility for the correct assembly of the product in accordance with
the instructions for manufacturing/assembling the product and installation guidance notified to him by the
system house;

— the instructions for manufacturing/assembling the product and installation guidance notified to the
manufacturer by the system house are an integral part of the assembler’s Factory Production Control
system and are referred to in the determination of the product type report;

— the manufacturer is able to provide documented evidence that the combination of components he is
using, and his way of manufacturing, correspond to the one for which the system house has obtained the
determination of the product type report (he needs to keep a copy of the system house’s determination of
the product type report);

— regardless the possibility of referring, on the basis of the agreement signed with the system house, to the
latter’s responsibility and liability under private law, the manufacturer remains responsible for the product
being in compliance with the declared performances, including both the design and the manufacture of
the product, which is given when he affixes the regulatory marking on his product.

6.3 Factory production control (FPC)

6.3.1 General

The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed
on the market comply with the declared performance of the essential characteristics.

The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of
the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and
the product.

All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a
systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures.

This factory production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of the evaluation
of the constancy of performance and enable the achievement of the required product performances and the
effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control therefore brings
together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the compliance of the
product with the declared performances of the essential characteristics.

In case the manufacturer has used shared or cascading product type results, the FPC shall also include the
appropriate documentation as foreseen in 6.2.3 and 6.2.4.

6.3.2 Requirements

6.3.2.1 General

The manufacturer is responsible for organizing the effective implementation of the FPC system in line with the
content of this product standard. Tasks and responsibilities in the production control organization shall be
documented and this documentation shall be kept up-to-date.

The responsibility, authority and the relationship between personnel that manages, performs or verifies work
affecting product constancy, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that need to initiate
actions preventing product non-constancies from occurring, actions in case of non-constancies and to identify
and register product constancy problems.

Personnel performing work affecting the constancy of performance of the product shall be competent on the
basis of appropriate education, training, skills and experience for which records shall be maintained.

In each factory the manufacturer may delegate the action to a person having the necessary authority to:

— identify procedures to demonstrate constancy of performance of the product at appropriate stages;

— identify and record any instance of non-constancy;

— identify procedures to correct instances of non-constancy.

The manufacturer shall draw up and keep up-to-date documents defining the factory production control. The
manufacturer's documentation and procedures should be appropriate to the product and manufacturing
process. The FPC system should achieve an appropriate level of confidence in the constancy of performance
of the product. This involves:

a) the preparation of documented procedures and instructions relating to factory production control
operations, in accordance with the requirements of the technical specification to which reference is made;

b) the effective implementation of these procedures and instructions;

c) the recording of these operations and their results;

d) the use of these results to correct any deviations, repair the effects of such deviations, treat any resulting
instances of non-conformity and, if necessary, revise the FPC to rectify the cause of non-constancy of
performance.

Where the product fails to satisfy the acceptance criteria, the provisions for non-complying products shall
apply, the necessary corrective action(s) shall immediately be taken and the products or batches not
complying shall be isolated and properly identified.

Once the fault has been corrected, the test or verification in question shall be repeated.

The results of controls and tests shall be properly recorded. The product description, date of manufacture, test
method adopted, test results and acceptance criteria shall be entered in the records under the signature of the
person responsible for the control/test.

With regard to any control result not meeting the requirements of this European Standard, the corrective
measures taken to rectify the situation (e.g. a further test carried out, modification of manufacturing process,
throwing away or putting right of product) shall be indicated in the records.

6.3.2.8 Corrective action

The manufacturer shall have documented procedures that instigate action to eliminate the cause of non-
conformities in order to prevent recurrence.

6.3.2.9 Handling, storage and packaging

The manufacturer shall have procedures providing methods of product handling and shall provide suitable
storage areas preventing damage or deterioration.

6.3.3 Product specific requirements

The FPC system shall address this European Standard and ensure that the products placed on the market
comply with the declaration of performance.

The FPC system shall include a product specific FPC, which identifies procedures to demonstrate compliance
of the product at appropriate stages, i.e.:

a) the controls and tests to be carried out prior to and/or during manufacture according to a frequency laid
down in the FPC test plan, and/or;

b) the verifications and tests to be carried out on finished products according to a frequency laid down in the
FPC test plan.

If the manufacturer uses only finished products, the operations under b) shall lead to an equivalent level of
compliance of the product as if FPC had been carried out during the production.

If the manufacturer carries out parts of the production himself, the operations under b) may be reduced and
partly replaced by operations under a). Generally, the more parts of the production that are carried out by the
manufacturer, the more operations under b) may be replaced by operations under a).

In any case the operation shall lead to an equivalent level of compliance of the product as if FPC had been
carried out during the production.

NOTE Depending on the specific case, it can be necessary to carry out the operations referred to under a) and b),
only the operations under a) or only those under b).

The operations under a) refer to the intermediate states of the product as on manufacturing machines and
their adjustment, and measuring equipment etc. These controls and tests and their frequency shall be chosen
based on product type and composition, the manufacturing process and its complexity, the sensitivity of
product features to variations in manufacturing parameters etc.

The manufacturer shall establish and maintain records that provide evidence that the production has been
sampled and tested. These records shall show clearly whether the production has satisfied the defined
acceptance criteria and shall be available for at least three years.

6.3.4 Initial inspection of factory and of FPC

Initial inspection of factory (production line) and of FPC (only for curtain walling kits covered by AVCP system
1) shall be carried out when the production process has been finalized and in operation. The factory
(production line) and FPC documentation shall be assessed to verify that the requirements of 6.3.2 and 6.3.3
are fulfilled.

During the inspection it shall be verified:

a) that all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics included in this European
Standard are in place and correctly implemented, and

b) that the FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC documentation are followed in practice, and

c) that the product complies with the product type samples, for which compliance of the product
performance to the DoP has been verified.

All locations where final assembly or at least final testing of the relevant product is performed, shall be
assessed to verify that the above conditions a) to c) are in place and implemented. If the FPC system covers
more than one product, production line or production process, and it is verified that the general requirements
are fulfilled when assessing one product, production line or production process, then the assessment of the
general requirements does not need to be repeated when assessing the FPC for another product, production
line or production process.

All assessments and their results shall be documented in the initial inspection report.

6.3.5 Continuous surveillance of FPC (only for curtain walling kits covered by AVCP system 1)

Surveillance of the FPC shall be undertaken once per year. The surveillance of the FPC shall include a review
of the FPC test plan(s) and production processes(s) for each product to determine if any changes have been
made since the last assessment or surveillance. The significance of any changes shall be assessed.

Checks shall be made to ensure that the test plans are still correctly implemented and that the production
equipment is still correctly maintained and calibrated at appropriate time intervals.

The records of tests and measurement made during the production process and to finished products shall be
reviewed to ensure that the values obtained still correspond with those values for the samples submitted to
the determination of the product type and that the correct actions have been taken for non-compliant products.

6.3.6 Procedure for modifications

If modifications are made to the product, production process or FPC system that could affect any of the
product characteristics declared according to this standard, then all the characteristics for which the
manufacturer declares performance, which may be affected by the modification, shall be subject to the
determination of the product type, as described in 6.2.1.

Where relevant, a re-assessment of the factory (production line)and of the FPC system shall be performed for
those aspects, which may be affected by the modification.

All assessments and their results shall be documented in a report.

Annex A
(informative)

Maintenance

The curtain walling will require regular cleaning and maintenance to last its anticipated life. The location, use
and associated atmospheric conditions will have a considerable bearing on the frequency of such cleaning
and maintenance inspection cycles, as will the materials and finishes inherent in the curtain walling kit
construction.

Failure to undertake this work can considerably reduce the life of materials, components and finishes.

A method statement on an individual project basis should be prepared covering:

— specific recommendations for routine maintenance, cleaning, suitable cleaning agents and any
lubrication/adjustments to moving parts;

— procedures for the replacement of damaged or worn components/finishes.

Any access system employed in the cleaning and maintenance of the curtain walling should conform to the
relevant safety standards and should not be allowed to impart forces to the curtain walling exceeding those
which can safely be supported by the curtain walling without detriment to its continued performance.

Annex B
(informative)

Equipotential bonding conditions

B.1 General requirements

The curtain walling kit shall be so designed as to have its metal framing components conductively connected,
such that all vertical and horizontal framing members achieve an equipotential bond with the equipotential
system.

Suitable precautions shall be taken in effecting the equipotential connections to avoid corrosion which might
hinder their efficiency. Fittings shall be resistant to corrosive agencies (atmospheric, chemical and electrolytic
corrosion) or be otherwise suitably protected.

The electrical resistance of the curtain walling kit components forming the circuit shall not exceed 10 Ohm.

B.2 Connectors

Component connections shall be achieved by metal connectors providing the following minimum cross-
sectional areas:

— Copper 5 mm²

— Aluminium 8 mm²

— Steel 16 mm²

— Stainless Steel 32 mm²

NOTE These areas are not sufficient to provide lightning protection.

Multi-connectors may be utilized (e.g. bolts) to achieve the cross – sectional areas required.

If component connections with different materials or cross-sectional areas are used, the electrical resistance
of the curtain walling and its bond to the equipotential system of the building shall be measured between the
connected parts with prospective current of 200 mA.

Annex C
(informative)

Resistance to actions: guidance on the use of Eurocodes

C.1 Introduction of the annex

This annex gives the principles to design the curtain walling.

The design principles are based on the structural Eurocode EN 1990: Basis of structural design. The actions
are determined in accordance with the structural Eurocode series EN 1991: Basis of structural design -
Actions on structures, including the National Annexes.

In the design processes, the safety aspect is part of national competency. For that reason this European
Standard foresees that to conform to the rules applied by the Eurocodes, the different loading factors are
subject to national determined parameters for the ultimate(ULS) and serviceability (SLS) limit states.

Those values can be found in an informative (National) Annex to this European Standard.

When a Member State does not use its prerogative and no values for the material partial factor has been
determined, the proposed values given in this European Standard should be used.

C.2 Scope of the annex

This annex gives the principles of determining the ability of curtain walling to resist loads based of the
Eurocode principles. It gives the general method of calculation.

Resistance to applied loads is only one part of the design process, which may also need to take into account
the following:

— environmental factors (e.g. sound insulation, thermal properties);

— safety characteristics (e.g. fire performance, breakage characteristics in relation to human safety,
security).

C.4 Definition and principle

C.4.1 General

The curtain walling kit work in general and the curtain walling in particular are generally composed of 3 main
constituents, the fixings (including fixings and brackets, etc.), the frame, the infill panel, for which the bearing
capacity has to be verified in defined conditions under the essential requirement ER 4 Safety in use.

To each of the bearing constituents, an evaluation of the economical and human consequences of the rupture
is to be performed in accordance of the EN 1990:2002, Annex B in order to determine the load factors.

 TS EN 13830 : 2015-10
EN 13830:2015 (E)

C.4.2 Classes of consequence

Classes of consequence allow for the fact that the failure of the curtain walling framework or the infill panels
do not have the same economic and/or human consequences as the failure of the building structures.

NOTE An appropriate factor of safety is thus acceptable on the actions. The coefficient of class of consequence, kFI,
expresses the appropriate safety applicable to the curtain walling framework and infill panels compared to that applicable
for the building structures according to EN 1990:2002, appendix B. This coefficient can be integrated in the partial
coefficients relating to the actions, γQ and γG, except in the case where the action has a favourable effect in a combination
of actions. The coefficient of class of consequence does not apply to the partial coefficients relating to materials.

C.4.3 Curtain walling kit operating as safety barrier

Performance given to curtain walls to insure safety against reasonably foreseeable risk of fall off by

— Passing through the curtain walling kit

— Fall over the spandrel

Due to

— Accidental impacts by human body resulting from human activities

— Human pressures, not resulting from impact but from a group of persons.

Impacts are assimilated to dynamic actions simulated by impact tests conform to EN 14019.

Human pressures are assimilated to static action standardised in EN 1991-1-1.

This notion is to be appreciated in regard of a normal or normally foreseeable use of the works and excludes
all voluntary taken risk. This is supposing a normal behaviour of the user, or in case of children, of the one
who are responsible of their surveillance.

C.4.4 Loaded area "A"

The loaded area A as defined in Eurocodes is the area of the structure that produces the action in the section
(element) to be calculated. The following Figure defines the loaded areas.

The mullion, transoms and anchorages are calculated with the same cpe corresponding with loaded area of the
anchorages (including fixings and brackets, etc.). This cpe,A is then used to determine the cp (including cp,i) to
design anchorage, mullion and transom.

C.4.5 System redundancy

Curtain walling should be designed in such a manner that the failure of any single component, in particular
supports, cannot lead to the progressive collapse of the surrounding elements, or the whole curtain wall. In
case, the load transferred from failed components shall be considered under the conditions characteristic for
accidental design situations, as per EN 1990:2002, 3.2 (2)P and 6.4.3.3.

C.5 Requirements

The process shall conform to EN 1990: Eurocode – Basis of structural design.

The determination of actions shall be in accordance with the relevant parts of EN 1991: Actions on structures.

C.6 Actions

C.6.1 Dead load action

Generally speaking, dead load is the permanent vertical action resulting of the summation all permanent
actions supported by the calculated constituent. This action can be punctual, linear or distributed over surface.

C.6.2 Wind action

The wind actions calculated using EN 1991-1-4 are characteristic values (See EN 1990:2002, 4.1.2). They are
determined from the basic values of wind velocity or the velocity pressure. In accordance with EN 1990:2002,
4.1.2 (7)P, the basic values are characteristic values which are exceeded with an annual probability of 0,02,
which is equivalent to a mean return period of 50 years.

A number of factors which directly impact on the design of curtain walling in accordance with EN 1990 which
can be taken into account, are identified below. Design can be verified by test according to EN 1990.

C.6.3 Actions for curtain walling serving as parapets

In absence of national specifications or national values, the Table C.2 proposes minimum imposed loads
which may be used to the design curtain walls serving as parapets, barriers, balustrades and other elements
of a structure intended to retain, stop or guide people.

The loads given in Table C.2 should be treated as the characteristic loads (hence unfactored) for design
purposes. In design, the horizontal uniformly distributed line load should be considered to act at a sill height
“h” above floor level, irrespective of the actual height of the element. For this purpose, the floor level should be
taken as the finished level of the access platform, or the pitch line drawn through the nosings of the stair
treads. For all types of activities given in Table C.2, the curtain walling kit transom should be designed for a
vertical load when it is possible to sit or to step on it. The loads given in Table C.2 are not to be combined with
each other and should be considered as separate loads to be combined with the other imposed loads
according to the specification of C.7.

In the following table,

Horizontal loads, the value

— qk,h : Horizontal linear load uniformly applied on the curtain walling kit at the sill height H located between
800 and 1200 mm of the floor level. When this linear loading is applied on the infill panel, it is normally be
on a width of 100mm per meter;

— Qkh,1 : Horizontal point load for local verification applied at the sill height on a square surface of 100x100
mm at the worst place;

— Qkh,2 : Horizontal point load for local verification applied under the sill height on a square surface of
100x100 mm at the worst place. 1)

Partial coefficients allow to adapt the level of reliability of calculated elements. Therefore, a choice for human
and economic consequences is done for the components and the types of ordinary curtain walls. However, it
is possible that the latter take on an extraordinary character in the work, e.g. their dimensions, the height of
the building, their functions, the use category of the work on which the curtain walls are installed. It could be
necessary in those cases to adapt the partial coefficients to the requested reliability. For tall buildings, it might
be necessary to make corrective adaptations.

Annex D
(normative)

Seismic resistance

D.1 General principles

D.1.1 Required performance limits

The required seismic serviceability limit and the required seismic safety limit will depend on the seismic design
event for the building and also the response of the building to that event. Movement of the building frame
(inter-storey drift) may be reduced by stiffening the building frame. The horizontal accelerations at each floor
level will depend on the stiffness and mass of the building.

A design seismic action with an appropriate probability of exceedance should be used to establish the
movement of the building frame when assessing the required seismic serviceability limit of the curtain walling
kit. This may be smaller than the design seismic action used to design the building frame to resist damage.

A design seismic event with an appropriate probability of exceedance should be used to establish the
movement and accelerations of the building frame when assessing the required seismic safety limit of the
curtain walling kit.

D.1.2 Factors affecting seismic performance

Movement accommodation for seismic safety is greater if:

— The edge clearance around the glazing or infill panels is greater;

— The glazing and infill panels are smaller.

Serviceability performance is dependent on:

— Edge cover for gaskets;

— Movement accommodation of any sealant joints;

— Appropriate mullion to transom seals.

D.2 Assessment of seismic serviceability limit

The serviceability limit of the curtain walling kit shall be assessed by imposing horizontal in-plane racking
movements as reported in D.4 prior to re-testing for air permeability and watertightness. The test specimen
should be subjected to three cycles of movement as follows:

— Movement to one extreme position;

— Movement to the other extreme position;

— Return to the original position.

The extreme position should be the displacement at the seismic serviceability limit.

The rate at which the displacements are applied, shall be decided by the manufacturer.

 TS EN 13830 : 2015-10
EN 13830:2015 (E)

The positive difference between the air permeability measured at maximum pressure before and after the
3 2 3
seismic movement should not differ by more than 0,6 m /h.m (0,2 m /h.m length of joint).

D.3 Assessment of seismic safety limit

The curtain walling kit may either separates from the building frame or components, or parts of them, separate
from the curtain walling kit, due to:

— the inertia forces caused by the seismic design action;

— the movement of the building frame caused by the seismic design action.

Most curtain walling kit are sufficiently lightweight that the out-of-plane seismic inertia forces are less than the
design wind load. Where necessary the strength of the connections and fixings may be verified by calculation
and reference to mechanical strength tests of the components.

The movement accommodation of the curtain walling kit may be assessed by imposing in-plane movements
as reported in D.4. The test specimen should be subjected to one cycle of movement as follows:

— Movement to one extreme position;

— Movement to the other extreme position;

— Return to the original position.

The extreme position should be the displacement at the seismic safety limit. If the curtain walling kit remains in
a safe condition following the seismic movement regime the sequence of movements may be repeated at a
higher magnitude.

The curtain walling shall safely withstand the seismic movement regime and shall retain its integrity in fulfilling
the following criteria:

— no parts shall fall down (except for glass) unless it has been specifically evaluated that it is safe for them
to do so;

— any holing shall not occur (except for glass) unless it has been specifically evaluated that it is safe for
them to do so;

— any infilling panel shall remain in its position and come off only when removed;

— any permanent deformation of curtain walling component shall be accepted.

— Specific safe brakeage criteria for glass are given in EN 12600:2002, Clause 4.

D.4 Seismic movement regime

D.4.1 General

For stick construction the test specimen shall be subjected to the horizontal in-plane racking movements
shown in Figure D.1 and Figure D.2. The height h shall represent the intended construction. The movement Δ
shall be reported as the angle of rotation arctangent(γ),with γ = Δ/h, where h is the minimum between h1 and
h2.

D.4.2 Principles

Test chamber elements representing the primary building structure shall be displaced to produce the specified
movements. Each test shall consist of three (3) full cycles. (herein, a cycle is defined as a full displacement in
one direction, back to the originating point, full displacement in the opposite direction, and back to the
originating point.) At the conclusion of the test, technicians and witnesses shall visually inspect the mock-up
for evidences of failure. The notified body shall record all areas of visual distress, such as disengagement,
metal distortion, sealant or glazing failure, or permanent deformation. If glass breakage occurs during the
displacement test, the notified body personnel shall carefully examine the test specimen. If breakage was
caused by deformation or failure of the supporting frame of the glass, or by any interaction between the glass
and its supporting elements, record the findings and discontinue the test. If the cause of the breakage cannot
be determined replace the glass with the original components and repeat the test one additional time.

D.4.3 Test apparatus

Elements representing the building structure shall be displaced in a manner and method as determined by the
notified body and may be subject to review by the design professional (see Figure D.1 for typical test
specimen configuration with moveable test chamber elements).

D.4.4 Test procedure

The time duration of each cycle is not prescribed, but shall be recorded for information purposes only.
Changes in displacement direction(s) shall allow for movement of equipment, stops, measuring devices, etc.
The notified body shall displace the chamber elements in a manner that does not induce sudden acceleration
and deceleration.

The design displacement shall be assessed by the notified body according to the predicted interstorey
movements of the tested specimen. For multi-storey mock-ups, the displacement between levels may vary
due to different storey heights. The displacement shall be measured at the movable floor element, not at the
test specimen.

E.6 Field of direct application

The test results are applicable to curtain walls with:

— infill of any type of glass (except laminated glass);

— infill of the same or lower amount of the same combustible materials or of the same or higher reaction to
fire classification according to EN 13501-1;

— weather stripping of the same material or material reaching the same or better reaction to fire
classification. Replacement test can be carried out according to E.2.3.

Concerning the application rules for the profiles, the following shall be applied:

— for wooden profiles: Test results from the lowest density of wood with highest exposed surface area are
valid for all higher densities and lower exposed areas;

— for plastic profiles: The test result is valid for all other profiles of the same material or material
combinations and with the same or lower unit mass per length;

— for composite profiles: The test result is valid for all other profiles of the same material or material
combinations and with the same or lower unit mass per length;

— for all metal profiles containing organic components, use a test specimen made out of a frame with the
highest amount of organic components. The test result is valid also for all other frames of the same
material with lower amount of organic components made out of the same organic material;

— profiles made exclusively from materials classified as A1 according to EN 13501-1 needs not to be
tested;

— for organic finishes apply the rule that all finishes of the same generic organic material family with lower
mass per unit area and PCS value are covered by the test result.

NOTE “Same generic organic material family” means for instance wet painting or powder coating.

F.2 Selection of a representative test specimen

Guidelines for an optional selection of representative test specimen.

The element shall contain a typical horizontal and vertical joint. The fixing devices connecting to the fixing
points of the test rig should be the original fixing devices used later on the construction site. The components
of the specimen shall be representative for the product range.

In determining the test specimen take into consideration the following:

— Different T-connector variants;

— Different sealing systems;

— Different support systems;

— Different mullion and transom depths;

— Different drainage systems have to be considered;

— Infill panels and insulating glass units;

— Insert frames for openable infills;

— Mullion joints and so on;

— Alternative fixings.

Annex I
(informative)

Basic approach to durability

This annex sets out an approach to specifying and assessing durability of curtain walling kit.

Components of the curtain walling kit shall be categorised as follows:

Primary components

Components with a predicted service life not less than the design life of the curtain walling kit without the need
for maintenance, other than regular cleaning.

Secondary components

Components with a predicted service life less than the design life of the curtain walling kit, assuming regular
cleaning and maintenance in accordance with information provided by the curtain walling kit supplier.

The design life of the curtain walling kit may be less than the design life of the building or equal to the design
life of the building. A correctly designed and installed curtain walling can have a design life of 50 years but
some components will require repair or replacement during the service life of the curtain walling kit.

The following components shall be classified as primary components:

— Framing members;

— Hardware (only related to framing members);

— Fixings.

The following components may be classified as secondary components:

— Glazing;

— Infill panels (sandwich-panel or non-composite panel);

— Gaskets and Sealants;

— Hardware (for openable infills).

The manufacturer of the curtain walling kit shall demonstrate that all secondary components can be repaired
or replaced.

To demonstrate that the requirements of the Product Standard have been met it is necessary to identify the
causality of failure to sustain performance as set out in the tables below.

It is important to identify the agents affecting durability as set out below for curtain walling kit.
