6 WINDOWS TO BS6375-2:2009 Page 6 of 33 TEST PROCEDURE Introduction This test report should be read in conjunction with the Standard BS :2009 Performance of windows and doors Part 2: Classification for operation and strength characteristics and guidance on selection & specification The specimens were judged on their ability to comply with the performance criteria as required in BS :2009, with test methods BS EN Instruction To Test The test was conducted on the Monday 22 nd March 2010 on behalf of Securistyle Ltd. Initial requirement was as defined in BS :2009, requiring a performance of threshold value of 350N for load-barring capacity of safety device. Test Specimen Construction Installation 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 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. The sample was then installed into the test apparatus by a representative of Exova warringtonapt on the 22/03/2010. 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 32-54% humidity for the duration of the test.

11 WINDOWS TO BS6375-2:2009 Page 11 of 33 Evaluation against objective Observations & comments CONCLUSIONS The sample as provided by the client was subjected to 5.3 Load Bearing safety devices in accordance with BS and achieved the requirements. All window types have fully passed the safety load test. Limitations Range of window assemblies covered by this report Uncertainty of Measurement LIMITATIONS 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
