Windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling - Explosion resistance - Test method - Part 1: Shock tube; German and English version prEN 13124-1:2022

Abstract

This document specifies a conventional test procedure to permit classification of the explosion resistance of windows, doors, shutters, together with their infills, as well as curtain walling elements. This document concerns a method of test against blast waves generated using a shock tube facility to simulate detonation events. This document considers high explosive detonations in the order of 100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT equivalent at distances from about 35 m to 50 m. This document covers only the behaviour of the complete test specimen including infill, frame and fixings as tested. This document gives no information on the ability of the surrounding wall or building structure to resist the direct or transmitted forces. This document gives no information on the behaviour of the test specimens subjected to other types of loading.
