6 TEST PROCEDURE Introduction This test report should be read in conjunction with the Standard BS EN :2006: Windows and doors Product standard, performance characteristics Part 1: Windows and external pedestrian door set s with out resistance to fire and/or smoke leakage characteristics. The specimens were judged on their ability to comply with the performance criteria as required in BS EN :2006, with test methods BS EN Instruction To Test Test Specimen Construction Sampling Installation The test was conducted on the 5 th July 2013 on behalf of Securistyle Ltd. Initial requirement was as defined in BS6375-2, requiring a performance of a threshold value of 350N for load-bearing capacity of safety devices. A description of the test construction is given in the Schedule of Components. The description is based on a detailed survey of the specimens and information supplied by the sponsor of the test. The samples were not independently witnessed or selected and were provided direct from the test sponsor. The sample was supplied mounted within a timber sub-frame of nominal section 75mm x 100mm fitted flush with the exterior face, in accordance with the clients fitting instructions. Test Climate The sample was conditioned in the laboratory in the range C and 25-75% humidity. The temperature and humidity in the lab was maintained in the range C and % humidity for the duration of the test. Document No.: WIL Page No.: 6 of 20 Document No.RS91 Issue No.1 Sheet No.6 of 20

18 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA & TEST RESULTS Clause Result Pass/Fail 4.8 Loadbearing capacity of safety devices The restrictor was engaged and a load of 350N was applied to the leading ledge of the restricted stile for 60seconds. The Load was removed and the restrictor continued to operate after the test. PASS Side hung 4.8 Loadbearing capacity of safety devices Top hung The restrictor was engaged and a load of 350N was applied to the leading edge of the restricted stile for 60 seconds, The same load was then applied to the unrestricted leading edge for 60 seconds. The restrictor continued to operate after the test. PASS Document No.: WIL Page No.: 18 of 20 Document No.RS91 Issue No.1 Sheet No.18 of 20

19 CONCLUSIONS Evaluation against objective The sample as provided by the client was subjected to operational & strength testing in accordance with BS EN :2006 and achieved the requirements of clause 4.8 Load-bearing capacity of safety devices. Observations & comments LIMITATIONS Limitations Range of window assemblies covered by this report Uncertainty of Measurement The results relate only to the behaviour of the specimens of the element of construction under the particular conditions of test. They are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential performance of the element in use, nor do they reflect the actual behaviour in use. It is our opinion that the range of window assemblies covered by this report are limited to the following Assemblies with identical hardware fitted no further apart than in the tested assembly Assemblies of the same or smaller overall dimensions to the tested assembly The uncertainties of measurements calculated for a confidence level of 95% throughout these tests are within the limits of these tolerances. The standard specifies the following tolerances Forces: ±2% Distances: ±1mm for tape measures ± 0.01mm for dial gauges Times: ±5s Document No.: WIL Page No.: 19 of 20 Document No.RS91 Issue No.1 Sheet No.19 of 20
