This European standard specifies requirements for single-axis hinges intended for use on:
- access windows and doors;
- fire and smoke compartmentation doors fitted with door closing devices, to enable such doors to close reliably and thus achieve self-closing in the event of fire;
- locked doors on escape routes, to enable the door leaves to move freely once released.
This European standard also includes tests for static loads and allowable wear during durability cycling for hinges mounted on the edge of the door leaf or window sash and opening in one direction only.
