BS DD 171 : 1987, ‘Guide to specifying performance requirements for hinged or pivoted doors (including test methods)’, historically provided the frame work to which doors and doorsets could be tested and evaluated, but this standard is now withdrawn.
Central can provide test data for performance of joinery under the following standards upon request.
BS EN 1192:2000 classifies the strength performance of doorsets based on the following test methods:
BS EN 947:1999. Hinged or pivoted doors. Determination of the resistance to vertical load
BS EN 948:1999. Hinged or pivoted doors. Determination of the resistance to static torsion
BS EN 949:1999. Windows and curtain walling, doors, blinds and shutters. Determination of the resistance to soft and heavy body impact for doors
BS EN 950:1999. Door leaves. Determination of the resistance to hard body impact
BS EN 1192:2000 also identifies tolerances for doors based on the methods for measurement within:
BS EN 951:1999. Door leaves. Method for measurement of height, width, thickness and squareness
BS EN 952:1999. Door leaves. General and local flatness. Measurement method
BS EN 12400:2002 classifies the performance of windows and pedestrian doors in respect of repeated opening and closing based on the following test method:
BS EN 1191:2012. Windows and doors. Resistance to repeated opening and closing. Test method
BS EN 12217:2015. Doors. Operating forces. Requirements and classification
BS EN 12217 defines the classification of the test results for the forces to open/close doors and to engage/release and lock/unlock the hardware using a key or handle, after testing in accordance with the following test method:
BS EN 12046-2:2000. Operating forces. Test method. Doors

Glazing
Glazing has a major impact on fire performance and limitations are identified in the Approved Documents. Glazing failure is one of the most likely causes of integrity failure during a fire. Aperture shape and position, glazed area, style of bead and type of glass all influence fire performance, as well as appearance.

The most used aperture configurations, all available with fire certification up to 120 minutes, can be provided. Bespoke glazing shapes and sizes can also be specified - Please contact our Technical Team on (Company Telephone) to discuss your requirements.
