DIN EN 1191:2011-02

This European Standard specifies the method to be used to determine the mechanical durability of windows and doorsets when subjected to repeated opening and closing. It applies to all construction materials and operating systems for any window or doorset, including gaskets and hardware, in normal operating conditions. The parts concerned in the testing are the frame, the opening component (including any additional moving components e. g. an inactive sash/leaf) and all essential hardware, including operating devices, for example, the handle. The testing does not include any hardware whose operation is not directly involved in the opening and closing of the moving components: added-on fastening devices such as peg-stays or cabin hooks or bolts, nor, unless specified, any independently installed stops (not connected to the complete assembly) such as a wall or ground-mounted stop.
