Blast loads which cannot be produced in an arena test might be produced by a shock tube test following prEN 13123-1:2022 and prEN 13124-1:2022. This document is applicable to blast waves generated by explosions in an arena test facility to produce high explosive blast loads on windows, doors and shutters as well as curtain walling systems, complete with their frames, infills and fixings, for use in both internal and external locations in buildings. It gives no information on the explosion resistance capacity of the wall or other surrounding structure. This document covers only the behaviour of the complete test specimen including infill, frame and fixings as tested. It gives no information on the ability of the surrounding wall or building structure to resist the direct or transmitted forces. If the windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling components are intended for specific conditions of climate, specific test conditions can be required. Requirements for the performance of opening and locking mechanisms or for testing in an open condition can also be specified. It gives no information on the behaviour of the test specimens subjected to other types of loading.

This document specifies methods to determine the durability of bondings prepared by means of adhesive materials (e.g. adhesive tapes and adhesive masses) for the establishment of airtight layers under climatic conditions representative for indoor environments based on test methods with and without ageing. The methods provided by this document are neither suitable for a short time evaluation of durability nor can they be applied to in-field testing. This document excludes test methods for external weathering or UV exposure, even though this might occur during the construction phase. The following typical applications are distinguished: - bonding of the overlap of flexible airtightness layers; - bonding of flexible airtightness layers to construction products and penetrations; - establishment of airtightness layers by means of sheet materials and adhesive tapes. This document does not cover test methods for: - pre-compressed sealing tapes and sealing profiles which will be mechanically secured; - butyl-based adhesive tapes or adhesive masses; - sheet joints of wood-based panels or gypsum plasterboards with adhesive masses or filler systems; - bondings of bitumen membranes or of bitumen membranes to construction products; - bonding of self-adhesive membranes; - adhesive masses from reels. Adhesive masses from reels are cured viscoelastic adhesive masses, which are used in the same field of application as adhesive masses. The tack is not addressed.

EN 1998-3 is intended to provide criteria for the assessment of the seismic performance of existing individual buildings or bridges, to describe the procedure to be followed in selecting necessary corrective measures and to set forth criteria for the design of retrofitting measures. It covers the seismic assessment and retrofitting of buildings and bridges made of the more commonly used structural materials: concrete, steel and composite, timber and masonry. Although the provisions of EN 1998-3 are applicable to all common categories of buildings and bridges, the seismic assessment and retrofitting of monuments and historical structures often requires different types of provisions and approaches, depending on the nature of the monuments. It is also not intended for the vulnerability assessment of populations or groups of structures in the scope of seismic risk evaluation.
