DIN EN 16434:2014-06

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for safety devices to be used for protection from strangulation in internal blinds as specified in EN 13120 and insect screens as specified in EN 13561. These devices might be fitted to internal blinds and insect screens at the time of manufacture or for retrofitting. The safety devices concerned include the following: - tensioning devices; - breakaway devices; - accumulation devices; - non tangling devices; - inner cord stops. Although at the time this standard has been published, no product standard exists for draperies, requirements and test methods specified in the present standard may be applied to safety devices used in such products. For clarification purpose, the term "internal blinds" used in the present standard should mean "internal blinds and insect screens". The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-09-01 AA "Türen, Tore, Fenster, Abschlüsse, Baubeschläge und Vorhangfassaden (SpA zu CEN/TC 33 und ISO/TC 162") ("Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 33 and ISO/TC 162)") at DIN.
