Building hardware. Cylinders and Master-Key-Systems (MKS) for locks. Requirements and test methods
This document applies to cylinders and their keys for such locks as are normally used in buildings and are designed to be used with cylinders, where the locks have an operational torque of maximum 1,5 Nm.
This document specifies performance and other requirements for the strength, security, durability, performance and corrosion resistance of cylinders and their original keys. It also specifies cylinders suitable for use in locking systems, Master key systems (MKS).
It establishes:
This document includes tests of satisfactory operation at a range of temperatures. It specifies test methods to be used on cylinders and their protective measures linked with these cylinders and recommended by the manufacturer. Corrosion resistance is specified by reference to the requirements of EN 1670 on corrosion resistance of building hardware.
The suitability of cylinders for use on fire or smoke-door assemblies is determined by fire performance tests conducted in addition to the performance testing required by this document, see Annex A.
This document does not apply to the assessment of fire resistance and smoke control doors equipped with lock cylinders grade A and grade B.
