Windows and curtain walling, doors, blinds and shutters - Determination of the resistance to soft and heavy body impact for doors

This document establishes a standardized methodology for evaluating the resistance of doors, shutters, and similar fenestration products to impact from both soft and hard objects. The scope of the technical specification encompasses various types of openings including windows, curtain walls, rolling shutters, and doors, ensuring a consistent approach to safety testing across different construction scenarios. The procedure defines specific test conditions, impactor masses, and velocities required to simulate real-world collision events. By adhering to the outlined protocols, manufacturers and testing facilities can objectively assess the durability and safety performance of building elements under impact stress. The standard provides a unified framework for determining whether a product can withstand specified levels of force without catastrophic failure or hazardous breakage. It is designed to facilitate fair comparison of results and support quality assurance processes within the construction industry. The document serves as a technical reference for verifying compliance with established safety requirements for architectural openings exposed to potential impact hazards.
