The Bioclimatic Pergola complies with the “Construction products regulations - CPR 305/2011”
and the requirements given in the Annex ZA of the EN 13561, “assessment and inspection
system for performance continuity type 4” (System 4).
If it is installed properly, it has a resistance to wind as shown in the technical data table in section
4, according to the size, in each case greater or equal than those required by the Class 4 of the
UNI EN 13561 rule on “External awnings - Performance requirements including safety”.
This Technical Classification ensures resistance to a wind that carries a maximum pressure rating
of 170 [N/m2] (Newton/sqm) similar to an wind insisting on the awning with a maximum speed of
60 [km / h] corresponding to the 7th level of the Beaufort Scale. The resistance to wind load was
evaluated according to criteria related to those required by the UNI EN 13561 and UNI EN 1932
rules and from the technical standards in force, with the necessary safety margins.
The Pergola complies as well as the relevant parts of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The CE Mark together with wind resistance characteristics according to UNI EN 13561 and the
self-certification document (Declaration of Performance DoP) are included in APPENDIX 0 and
APPENDIX 1 on the last pages of this manual. The original Declaration of Performance DoP
issued by the manufacturer is kept by Gibus S.p.A.
