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.
