*1 Test evidence for functional doors to be achieved with full door sets and assemblies.
*2 depending on the finish
| Category 1 | Light duty. For use in buildings, houses or other living areas, low frequency of use, clear intention of careful handling, low risk of accidents or misuse. |
| Category 2 | Medium duty. For use in buildings, houses or other living areas, medium frequency of use, some intention of careful handling, risk of accidents or misuse. |
| Category 3 | Heavy duty. For use in buildings, high frequency of use, little intention of careful handling, risk of accidents or misuse. |
| Category 4 | Severe duty. Hinges for doors that are subject to frequent and heavy use. |

| Grade 4 | very high corrosion resistance |
| Grade 5 | unusually high corrosion resistance |
| Grade 0 | not suitable for use on burglar-resistant door assemblies |
| Grade 1 | suitable for use on burglar-resistant door assemblies, depending on the evaluation of the hinges' contribution to the door's resistance. This evaluation is not covered by DIN EN 1935. |
