Abstract

This document specifies the criteria which windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling elements need to satisfy to achieve a classification when submitted to the test method described in EN 13124-1. This document concerns a method of test against blast waves generated by using a shock tube facility to simulate explosion loadings. The document considers free-field high explosive events in the order of 100 kg to 2 500 kg TNT at distances from about 35 m to 50 m. This document is applicable to blast profiles generated in a shock tube test facility used to simulate high explosive and gas explosions on windows, doors, shutters as well as curtain walling systems, complete with their frames, infills and fixings, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings.
