EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1670 standard. This International European standard EN 1670 specifies requirements for corrosion resistance of building hardware for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walls.
This European Standard provides a method for classifying the corrosion resistance of building equipment based on performance in a neutral salt spray test (EN ISO 9227).
This European Standard specifies the requirements for both coated and uncoated surfaces and five corrosion resistance grades from 1 to 5, which are laid out according to different conditions of use.
A grade 0 for which no requirements are specified is also included. Requirements for corrosion resistance levels higher than those specified for Grade 5 are not included in this European Standard and are subject to agreement where necessary.
This European Standard, if specified, also applies to metal fasteners required for fixing building hardware. Screws and fastenings sold with a hardware product conforming to this European Standard must also conform to this European Standard.
The term "class" used in this European Standard corresponds to the term "class" used in ISO standards.
There is seldom a direct relationship between resistance to the action of salt spray and resistance to corrosion in other environments, since several factors that influence corrosion progression, such as the formation of protective films, vary greatly with the conditions encountered. Therefore, test results should not be taken as a direct guide to the corrosion resistance of tested materials in all environments where these materials may be used. Also, the performance of different materials during testing should not be taken as a direct guide to the corrosion resistance of these materials in service.
The method described in this European Standard provides a means of checking that the comparative quality of a material with or without corrosion protection is maintained.
