This European Standard specifies requirements for single-axis hinges, of lift-off or fixed pin type, for use on access windows and doors. Such windows and doors may or may not be fitted also with door closing devices. It includes tests for static loads, shear strength and allowable wear during durability cycling forThe following hinges:a) mounted onThe edge of the door leaf or window sash and opening in one direction only;b) whose axis of rotation is within 30 mm of an edge of the movable element for a door leaf mass of up to 160 kg;c) whose axis of rotation is within 30 mm of the edge for a window sash with a mass up to 60 kg.This European Standard classifies hinges for four categories of use (see annex A) and also specifies the maximum permissible torque arising from frictional resistance generated withinThe hinge during endurance testing.Corrosion protection requirements are specified for those hinges which are not intended to be protected after fitting.There are no restrictions onThe materials orThe methods of fabrication used providingThe hinge conforms toThe requirements relevant to its application.The suitability of single axis hinges for use on fire/smoke compartmentation door assemblies is determined by performance tests conducted in addition toThe performance tests required byThis European Standard. Annex B indicates additional requirements forThese products.This European Standard does not apply to hinges incorporating spring-assisted door-closing mechanisms
