Hubei Province Balcony Rail Horizontal Thrust Test - Performance Test of Anti-Horizontal Load; rail specimens should at least include 3 divisions in width, the specimen specifications, material inspection, construction, and installation methods should be consistent with the actual project, and no additional facilities should be added during testing.

What are the load standards for balcony railings?
1. Mechanical properties should comply with the specifications in the following table: Horizontal load (N/m), Vertical load (N/m), Soft heavy object impact performance - 500 (residential), 1000 (public buildings), 500-2000. The deflection deformation of the crossbar should not exceed 1/120 of the crossbar length, and all structural components should remain undamaged. There should be no detachment, fracture, or deformation that affects use.
2. Balcony railing height: Should not be less than 1.05m for ground floor, multi-story residential buildings, or structures below 24m; not less than 1.1m for mid-rise, high-rise, or structures above 24m; and ideally not less than 1.20m for high-rise residential buildings. For kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and children's activity areas, the protective railing height of balconies and rooftop platforms should not be less than 1.20m.
