markilux Awnings
Handover declaration
To be passed on to the users of conservatory and window awnings
The European standard DIN EN 13561 establishes the requirements for the
construction and fastening of awnings. The construction of this markilux awning
fulfills the requirements of the Wind Resistance Class 2 specified in the CE mark of
conformity. The wind resistance class describes the wind speed, at which an awning
may be used. If used above the approved wind speed, considerable dangers can
occur in rain and in snow, the awning can be destroyed or collapse. Which wind
resistance class the installation achieves, critically depends on the type and the
number of fastening materials as well as on the existing fastening background.
The awning may only be used up to the wind resistance class declared by the
installation firm. This can differ from the wind resistance class specified above in
the CE-mark of conformity.
In full knowledge of the local conditions and after completed installation, the
installation firm declares to the user, whether the wind resistance class specified by
markilux has been achieved in the installed state and documents the actual wind
resistance class achieved.
Automatic controllers are to be adjusted to the declared wind resistance class.
Wind resistance class 0
The Wind Resistance Class 0
represents either a
performance not required or
not measured or a product,
which does not fulfill the
requirements of class 1.
The awning may not be used
during wind.
