Gives requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and function of hardware for Lift&Slide windows and door height windows, regardless of whether the hardware enables an additional tilt position.

This part of EN 13126 provides requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and function of hardware for Lift&Slide windows and door height windows, regardless of whether the hardware enables an additional tilt position. NOTE This Standard is also applicable to hardware systems, whereby the sash itself is not lifted but a gasket mechanism is moved.
