However, the durability and endurance of the autonomous supply for power operated shutters and external venetian blinds not connected to the mains supply are not covered.<\/p>\n<p>This European Standard deals also with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events when shutters and external venetian blinds are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see <span class=\"xref\">Annex&nbsp;D<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>This European Standard covers shutters and external venetian blinds mounted externally.
