SAFETY RAILS
Gratings are passive security systems for windows. However, each safety grate has very specific technical characteristics, thanks to which it can guarantee different levels of safety.
Carpenteria Maxia manufactures railings in full compliance with safety regulations.
With the following classification, it is possible to qualitatively distinguish one product from another, precisely choosing the necessary level of safety.
THE REGULATION
Since 1999, Italian manufacturers of gratings and security systems have begun to align themselves with European legislation, outlining a framework made up of 4 standards which define the dimensional, performance and safety characteristics of anti-burglary products for doors and windows.
UNI EN 1627 standard
Burglar-proof requirements and classes
The standard, experimental, defines the requirements and classification for the burglary resistance properties of doors, windows and shutters. It applies to the following types of openings: rotating, tilting, folding, pivoting, suspended up or down, sliding (horizontally or vertically) and roll-up, as well as fixed structures.
UNI EN 1629 standard
Strength under dynamic load
The 1629 standard, like the 1628, concerns resistance to burglary. The difference between the two is that this standard provides the test method for determining the resistance under dynamic load. The test is carried out using machines that simulate the burglary action, so as to establish the degree of resistance, the limits and the shortcomings of the security system itself.
UNI EN 1628 standard
Resistance under static load
The standard, experimental, specifies a test method for determining the resistance to a static load in order to evaluate the characteristics of resistance to burglary of windows, doors and shutters.
UNI EN 1630 standard
Resistance to the manual action of the break-in
This standard talks about resistance to burglary like 1628 and 1629. Compared to the previous two, it defines the test method for determining resistance to the manual action of burglary. In this case the resistance test is a real test, which involves the use of complex break-in tools, used today by burglars. The parameter that defines the result is the time taken to carry out the burglary.
