Regulation on classes of performance in relation to resistance to wind load for external blinds and awnings

This regulation sets specific performance classes for how external blinds and awnings must resist wind loads. By establishing these technical standards, the EU ensures that construction products are safe, durable, and consistent across the single market, reducing risks of structural failure during storms.

This affects manufacturers and installers of external sun protection systems in the building industry. They must ensure their products meet these defined wind resistance classes to comply with EU building product regulations.
