Wind resistance class 0
Wind resistance class 0 equates (in accordance with DIN EN
13561) either to a level of performance that is not required or
has not been measured, or to a product that does not meet the
requirements of Class 1. The awning must never be used in
windy (wind strength 4) conditions.
Wind resistance class 1
The awning may only remain open until winds have reached
force 4.
Definition acc. to the Beaufort scale: light breeze, light wind
Wind moves small tree branches and twigs, lifts dust and loose
paper
Wind speed 20-27 km/h = 5.5-7.4 m/s
Wind resistance class 2
The awning may only remain open until winds have reached
force 5.
Definition acc. to the Beaufort scale: fresh breeze, fresh wind
Small trees in leaf begin to sway;
whitecaps form at sea.
Wind speed 28-37 km/h = 7.5-10.4 m/s
Wind resistance class 3
The awning may only remain open until winds have reached
force 6.
Definition acc. to Beaufort scale: strong breeze
Larger tree branches move, umbrellas are hard to hold,
telegraph masts whistle in the wind
Wind speed 38-48 km/h = 10.5-13.4 m/s
