Windows, doors and shutters - Explosion resistance; Test method - Part 1: Shock tube; English version of DIN EN 13124-1
The document defines a conventional test procedure to permit classification of the explosion resistance of windows, doors and shutter together with their infills. The document concerns a method of test against blast waves generated by using a shock tube facility to simulate a high explosive detonation in order of 100 kg to 2500 kg TNT at distances from about 35 m to 50 m. The document covers only the behaviour of the complete unit including infill, frame and fixings as tested. It gives no information on the ability of the surrounding wall or building structure to resist the direct or transmitted forces. If the windows, doors and shutters are intended for specific conditions of climate, specific test conditons may be required.
