1 Scope
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. This European Standard applies to any design of device
including 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".
