This European Standard specifies test methods for the verification of the requirements relating to the protection from strangulation.<\/p>\n
This European Standard applies to all internal blinds as specified in EN 13120, insect screens as specified in EN 13561 and to blinds in sealed glazed units.<\/p>\n
These products may be operated manually, with or without compensating springs, or by means of electric motors (power operated products).<\/p>\n
Although at the time this standard has bee n published, no product standard exists for draperies, test methods specified in the present standard may be used for such products.<\/p>\n
