Scope

BS 6375 is the national application document for BS EN 14351 and identifies the characteristics and classes of performance appropriate for windows and internal/external pedestrian doorsets intended for the UK. It is applicable to both factory-glazed and site-glazed products.

This part of BS 6375 specifies performance requirements for the operation and strength of manually operated windows and internal/external pedestrian doorsets in their fully finished condition.

Purpose

Edits proposed to 'Clause 5.3 Load-bearing capacity of safety devices' so it includes guidance for windows and restrictors in residential care homes and to ensure that the limitations of the British Standard are widely known and understood by operators of care homes.

A new annex to be added describing the test method to be used for sliding sash windows windows.
