National foreword

This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 1192:1999.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/538, Doors, windows, shutters, hardware and curtain walling, to Subcommittee B/538/2, Doors, which has the responsibility to:

aid enquirers to understand the text;
present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

This British Standard forms part of a package of standards on doors which will not become fully effective until all standards in the package have been published and any superseded standards have been withdrawn. The date of withdrawal for national standards will be agreed within CEN and this will be notified in Update Standards.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 20 September 1999.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as tie official versions.

Foreword

This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33, Doors, windows, shutters and building hardware, 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2000.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

This standard is one of a series of standards for doors. The performance levels relate to test methods published in EN 947, EN 948, EN 949 and EN 950.

This standard presents a partial, provisional and interim classification for doors, restricted to the aspect of mechanical strength in resisting vertical load, static torsion, soft and heavy body impact, and hard body impact. It is intended to establish a standard for a complete classification scheme which includes all relevant properties valid for different families of doors.

The standard includes an informative Annex A which, gives general guidance on the relationship between performance levels and categories of duty.

1 Scope

This standard provides a means of classifying where appropriate, the performance of door leaves, door frames, door sets, and door assemblies according to their strength in resisting vertical load, static torsion, soft and heavy body impact, and hard body impact. The performance levels indicate normal usage for a range of categories of duty. Special requirements such as those for burglar resistance or safety requirements related to glass infillings are not covered.
