2 INTRODUCTION
The tests reported here were commissioned to determine the performance of the sample listed in section 4 when tested as detailed in Section 3 Test Method. The results are only valid for the conditions under which the test was conducted and for the specific window tested.
3 TEST METHOD
Tests were conducted in accordance with BS 6375 -1 : 2009 Performance of Windows and doors � Part 1: Classification for weathertightness and guidance on selection and specification.
Using the following standards as modified by BS 6375 -1 : 2009 :-
Air permeability to BS EN 1026 : 2000 Windows and doors � Air permeability � Test method. Watertightness to BS EN 1027 : 2000 Windows and doors � Watertightness � Test method. Resistance to wind BS EN 12211 : 2000 Windows and doors � Resistance to wind � Test method. The samples were Classified in accordance with BS 6375 -1 : 2009 Performance of Windows and doors � Part 1: Classification for weathertightness and guidance on selection and specification.
Using the following standards as modified by BS 6375 -1 : 2009 :- BS EN 12207 : 2000 Windows and doors � Air permeability � Classification. BS EN 12208 : 2000 Windows and doors � Watertightness � Classification. (Incorporating Corrigendum No 1). BS EN 12210 : 2000 Windows and doors � Resistance to wind � Classification. (Incorporating Amendment Nos 14690 and Corrigendum No 1). All testing was carried out using the BBA Schulten Window Test Facility.

Clearview Windows, double glazed, white, aluminium, vertical slider, 1200mm wide by 1480mm high.
Outline sketch viewed from the inside:
Transducer positions o Hinge positions ♦ Locking positions ! Window to subframe fixing method: Wood screws Position of visible window to subframe fixings �X� on sketch above - none all hidden by trim. Note that any references in this report to right-hand side (RHS) and left-hand side (LHS) are assuming the sample is being viewed from its internal face. The sample was conditioned for four hours prior to test at an ambient temperature between the range of 10ºC to 30ºC and a relative humidity of 25% to 75%. The results contained in these worksheets do not in any way assess the joint between the sample and the test surround, and hence the joint between the window/door and the fabric of any building is not covered by this assessment.
