Abstract
This European Standard specifies requirements for assessment of the mechanical strength of metal profiles incorporating a thermal barrier. It also specifies the tests to determine the characteristic values of mechanical properties of the thermal barrier profile and to assess the suitability of the thermal barrier material used.
This European Standard applies to thermal barrier profiles designed mainly for windows, doors, window walls and curtain walls. It does not apply to thermal barriers made only of metal profiles connected with metal pins or screws.
Thermal barrier profiles are used in various fields of applications and demand a differing assessment of their mechanical performance depending on their intended use. This European Standard takes this into account by two fields of application: one for windows, doors and related components and one for profiles in façades.
