Three grades are identified: grade 6/1: indicating window operates on a horizontal axis of rotation: type C: bottom-hung window, inward opening or outward opening; type D: top-hung window, inward opening or outward opening; type H: projecting top-hung window, inward or outward opening; type J: projecting bottom-hung window, inward or outward opening; type U: top-hung, inward opening window multi-light; type V: bottom-hung, inward opening window multi-light; grade 6/2: indicating window operates on a vertical axis of rotation: type A: side-hung window inward opening; type B: side-hung window outward opening; grade 6/3: indicating the window operates on both horizontal and vertical axis of rotation. 4.10 Test sizes – size limitations (9 – ninth digit) The ninth digit shows the test sizes in accordance with EN 13126-1:2006, 4.10 as follows: S.W. 2) in mm / S.H. 3) in mm – tolerance of -2 mm/+0 mm EXAMPLE 1 200 S.W. × 900 S.H. Where a variable geometry stay hinge (with or without friction) operates on a horizontal axis of rotation, the test size is determined in accordance with Table 1. Where a variable geometry stay hinge (with or without friction) operates on a vertical axis of rotation, the test size is determined in accordance with Table 2.
2) S.W. = sash width 3) S.H. = sash height
