EN 13830: 2003 (E)

Introduction This European Standard specifies the major technical characteristics of curtain walling and includes a systematic framework of performance requirements and test criteria to ensure conformity to the essential requirements of the Construction Products Directive and to provide appropriate principles in the technical specification of the product. ` , ` ` ` ` , , ` , , ` , ` , , ` -

For the purposes of this standard, curtain walling is defined as an external vertical building enclosure produced by elements mainly of metal, timber or plastic. Curtain walling embraces many different forms of construction, but generally it comprises one of the following: Stick construction, Unitised construction, Spandrel construction.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies characteristics of curtain walling and provides technical information on the varying performance requirements which apply throughout Europe and the test criteria and sequence of testing to which the product is subjected, in order to demonstrate conformity. Reference is made to other European Standards related to the performance and testing of curtain walling and, where appropriate, attention is drawn to European Standards which relate to products incorporated into curtain walling. This standard applies to curtain walling ranging from a vertical position to 15° from the vertical, onto the building face. It can include elements of sloping glazing contained within the curtain wall. Curtain walling is not a product which can be completed in all respects within a manufacturing area, but is a series of components and/or prefabricated units which only become a finished product when assembled together on site. This standard is applicable to the whole of the curtain walling, including the flashings, closures and copings.

2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

NOTE For these characteristics there are no specific expressions of performance but compliance with the relevant requirement clauses presumes conformity with this Annex. Therefore, no information accompanying the CE marking is necessary.

The requirement on a certain characteristic is not applicable in those Member states (MSs) where there are no regulatory requirements on that characteristic for the intended use of the product. In this case, manufacturers placing their products on the market of these MSs are not obliged to determine or declare the performance of their products with regard to this characteristic and the option “No performance declared” (NPD) in the information accompanying the CE marking (see clause ZA.3) may be used. The NPD option may not be used, however, where the characteristic is subject to a threshold level.
