ability of windows and doors to block heat gain from solar radiation in summer, characterized by solar heat gain coefficient SHGC (total solar energy transmittance)
Note: Heat-shielding performance of windows and doors in summer also includes the ability to prevent heat gain from temperature difference caused by outdoor high temperature. However, because the heat gain from temperature difference is far less than the heat gain from solar radiation, the heat-shielding performance of windows and doors is mainly characterized by its solar heat gain coefficient.
3.4
ordinary-type windows and doors
only including external windows and doors with requirements for air tightness, water tightness and wind load resistance, and the following two kinds of internal windows and doors: 1) those only with requirements for air tightness performance; 2) those without requirements for air tightness, water tightness, wind load resistance, sound insulating performance, thermal insulating performance, fire integrity, etc.
3.5
sound-proofing windows and doors
windows and doors with airborne sound insulating performance not less than 35 dB
3.6
thermal insulating type windows and doors
windows and doors with heat transfer coefficient K less than 2.5 W/(m2·K)
3.7
heat-insulating type windows and doors
windows and doors with SHGC not greater than 0.44
3.8
thermal insulating and heat-insulating type windows and doors
windows and doors with heat transfer coefficient K less than 2.5 W/(m2·K) and SHGC not greater than 0.44
3.9
fire-resistant windows and doors
windows and doors with fire integrity E not less than 30 min in closed state under the specified test conditions
3.10
resistance to repeat opening and closing for windows and doors
ability of windows and doors to maintain their normal functions after long-term repeated opening and closing operations of operable leaves, characterized by repeated opening and closing times without deformation, failure and damage affecting normal opening and closing
3.11
major load-bearing frame member
profile members such as transom, mullion, leaf stiles, and combination transom and mullion of windows and doors, which bear and transmit the gravity of windows and doors, horizontal wind load and other acting forces
3.12
major profiles
profiles constituting the basic framework of door/window frame and leaf bar system, on which door/window frame and leaf stiles of opening leaf or glass, supplemental profiles and accessories are assembled, and combination transom and mullion of windows and doors
3.13
supplemental profile
additional profiles that are embedded or fixed on the major profile members to transmit force or exert some functions in the door/window frame and leaf bar system
Note: Profiles for glazing bead, weather strip and weather stile are commonly used supplemental profiles.
3.14
accessories for windows and doors
fittings and parts for assembling windows and doors
3.15
bimetallic corrosion
galvanic corrosion caused by electrodes made of different metals
[GB/T 10123-2001, Definition 3.14]
3.16
verification
confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that specified requirements have been fulfilled
[GB/T 19000-2016, Definition 3.8.12]
4 Classification and marking
4.1 Classification and designation
4.1.1 Usage
Windows and doors are classified into two categories according to their usage for external envelope and internal envelope:
a) external windows and doors, designated as W;
b) internal windows and doors, designated as N.
4.1.2 Types
See Table 1 for the types and designations of windows and doors classified by their main performance.
