According to "EN 14351 Windows and doors - Product standard, performance characteristics" and "TS EN 13830 Curtain walling - Product standard" resistance to wind load, watertightness and air permeability tests are conducted. Test results show performance classes. Therefore these results should be interpreted by learning the meaning of the classes. In other words, having these reports doesn't say anything about the sufficiency of the results. Please read the remarks below;
For Doors and Windows; Air permeability test classes are 1,2,3 and the best one "Class 4". Per unit joint length, 2.5 m³/hm airflow or less and per unit overall area, 10 m³/hm² airflow or less is allowed at 600 Pa to be classified as "Class 4". (TS EN 12207) Resistance to wind load test is conducted to wear the specimen before a repeated air permeability test and watertightness test. Test classes are named C3/B3(if P1 is 1200Pa), C4/B4(if P1 is 1600Pa) and C5/B5(if P1 is 2000 PA). P1 is the pressure, to which the specimen is exposed 50 times. After the watertightness test, (P1x1.5)Pa safety pressure is applied to the specimen. (TS EN 12210) Watertightness test is conducted as follows; Spraying of a specified quantity of water onto the external surface of the test
specimen is applied first with the test pressure of 0Pa for 15 min then with the
test pressure increasing every 5 min. Overall duration is dependent on the
watertightness of the test specimen. The test pressure shall be applied in steps of
50Pa up to 300Pa and from 300Pa in steps of 150Pa. Pressure at which no water
penetrated the specimen, is reported. However, watertightness class of the specimen
is the last pressure step, in which throughout 5 minutes no penetration is observed.
If the water penetrates the specimen at the pressure step 300Pa, than the class of
watertightness is 4A(150Pa). If no water penetrates at the pressure 600Pa,
specimen's class is 9A(600Pa). Above 600Pa, classes are named E750, E900, E1050...
(TS EN 12208) Watertightness class of a specimen can not be higher than the class of
resistance to wind load test.
