chanical strain; requirements and testing

The test cycle was based on DIN 18055, in the sequence as described in Section 4 - Re-
sults
The test equipment used is in conformity with the above standards.
Period of test: 16 June 2001 to 2 August 2001

4.1 Validity of test results


The data listed in this test report refers exclusively to the tested objects described in Sec-
tion 2.

4.2 Extrapolation of test results


Testing was carried out on new windows. No further ageing and creep tests were con-
ducted.

The test results can only be extrapolated for the listed and smaller dimensions provided
that
– the design and modes of operation remain unchanged - and
– a consistently high processing quality is ensured by means of the appropriate monitor-
ing measures - and
– the materials used and processing/workmanship comply in full with the description in
this test report
