In addition to the foregoing certifications, our Variogate has passed the Dutch “Glasparel-slingerproef” (Sandbag Swing Test) as per NEN 6702. This test assesses the impact resistance and durability of materials, confirming that our Variogate can withstand harsh conditions and maintain its integrity under stress. Successfully passing this test further solidifies our Variogate as a robust and reliable solution in the market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

NEN 6702 is a Dutch standard that outlines the requirements and guidelines for the design, construction, and testing of ladders, stairways, and walkways used in industrial and other applications. It provides detailed instructions to ensure the safety, durability, and functionality of these structures.<\/p>

The standard is widely applied in industries where access to elevated platforms, machinery, or other high areas is necessary. It aims to prevent accidents and ensure that such structures can support the required loads while being safe and ergonomic for users.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Description of the Sandbag Swing Test for Variogate Fences<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe sandbag Swing Test is a testing method used to assess the impact resistance of fences and gates. This test simulates a collision by swinging a heavy sandbag against the fence and observing how the structure absorbs and withstands the impact.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe purpose of the Sandbag Swing Test is to evaluate the strength and safety of a fence or gate when subjected to a sudden impact, such as a person falling against it or an object colliding with it. This is especially important for fences in schools, public spaces, and industrial areas where safety is a priority.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  1. Preparation of the Test Setup:<\/strong>
    • The fence or gate is securely mounted as it would be in real-world conditions.<\/li>
    • A sandbag with a standardized weight (50 kg) is suspended from a pendulum mechanism.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
    • Executing the Test:<\/strong>
      • The sandbag is released from a specific height and angle, ensuring it impacts the fence with a controlled speed.<\/li>
      • The force and location of the impact are precisely recorded.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
      • Observation and Evaluation:<\/strong>
        • After the collision, the deformation of the fence or gate is examined.<\/li>
        • Any damage, such as bending, breakage, or detachment of components, is analyzed.<\/li>
        • The results are compared to standards and safety guidelines to determine whether the fence meets the required strength and durability.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
