Product warranty and liability – turn only, turn & tilt hardware
Position of sash and lever.
According to the instructions of the Quality Association for Locks and Hardware (Gütegemeinschaft Schlösser und Beschläge), the VHBH Directive, issued on 11.12.2009 and the manufacturer’s responsibility for its products, defined in the Consumer Protection Act (Consumer Protection Act of the Republic of Slovenia, paragraph 2, 54-112), the following information about the turn-only and tilt&turn hardware for sashes must be observed. Failure to comply with the following information exempts the manufacturer from liability
1. Product information and stipulated application
1.1 Quality Assurance Association for Locks and Hardware
(Gütegemeinschaft Schlösser und Beschläge) published in the
VHBH Directive states that turn-only and tilt-and-turn hardware
is hardware for turnable and tiltable sashes for windows in
building construction.
This hardware is used for:
bringing windows and sashes of windows, by activation of a
handle, into a turning position,
bringing windows and sashes of windows into a tilting
position restricted by means of a scissor stay version.
Turn-only and turn&tilt hardware is used for installation in windows
and balcony doors which are to be vertically installed, made from
timber, PVC, aluminium or steel, and their corresponding combina-
tion.
According to the definition above, the regular function of the
turn-only and turn & tilt hardware is closing the windows and
sashes and opening them in different airing positions. When the
sash is closed, the resistance of a gasket normally needs to be
overcome.
1.2 Misuse-exclusion of liability
Misuse is not compliant with the basic purpose of hardware. Anti-theft windows and balcony doors for wet spaces and installation in aggressive and corrosive climate require special hardware with particularly defined characteristics, adjusted to individual building case
1.3 Restrictions on the use
Open windows, sashes and balcony doors only have protective function and do not provide window fissure sealing, safety in heavy rain or snow, sound and thermal insulation and anti-theft protection. In windy weather and in case of draught, windows and sashes must be closed and bolted. Windy weather and draught logically mean that a window, a sash or balcony doors open and close automatically and uncontrollably in one of the open positions due to air pressure or whirlwind. The only way to make a window, sash or balcony doors fixedly open, is to install additional hardware elements.
1.4 Use in case of special requirements
Wind resistance of the closed and bolted window depends on the actual structure of window and balcony doors. In case a window (or a sash or balcony door) has to endure wind load, according to the DIN EN 12210 standards (in particular pressure test p3), suitable hardware compilations are to be matched in relation to the respective window design and frame material, and each case individually agreed upon.
Anti-theft windows and balcony doors for wet spaces and installation in aggressive and corrosive climate require special hardware with particularly defined characteristics, adjusted to individual building case.
In general, the turn-only, turn&tilt and tilt&slide hardware meet the requirements according to the DIN 18025 standards, applicable to open-type buildings. To this end, particular agreements and adjustments regarding the appropriate hardware structure and its installation on windows and balcony
doors are required.
