BS EN 13126-6:2008 Building hardware - Requirements and test methods for windows and doors height windows - Variable geometry stay hinges (with or without a friction stay)
This part of EN 13126 specifies requirements and test methods for durability, strength, security and
function of mechanically operated variable geometry stay hinges (with or without a friction system).
By means of this European Standard, the user of recognized tested hardware can assume that with
correct usage, the variable geometry stay hinges (with or without a friction system) for windows
conform to prescribed requirements.
NOTE 1 This European Standard is applicable to variable geometry stay hinges (with or without a friction
system) whether fitted with integral restrictors or not.
NOTE 2 Balancing stay arms/hinges do not represent a friction system.
NOTE 3 For the purposes of this European Standard, the friction system is achieved by friction pads or
similar.
