This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the safety in use of any type of power operated door, gate and barrier including their components, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises.
This European Standard also covers power operated vertically moving commercial doors used in retail premises which are mainly provided for the access of persons rather than vehicles or goods
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the power operation of doors, gates and barriers, as identified in Annex C.
European Standard does not apply to
- lock gates and dock gates;
- doors on lifts;
- doors on vehicles;
- armoured doors;
- doors mainly for the retention of animals;
- theatre textile curtains;
- horizontally moving power operated doorsets intended for pedestrian use;
- doors outside the reach of people (such as crane gantry fences);
- railway barriers;
- barriers used solely for vehicles (e.g. barriers on motorway, public car parks).
Also this European Standard does not apply to power operated doors, gates and barriers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard.
Requirements for specific characteristics (such as fire resistance, blast-resistance, acoustic, escape route function, burglar resistance or thermal insulation, etc.) which certain doors are required to comply with are not specified in this document. If the specifications of a standard on the special characteristics of such doors are in conflict with the requirements of this European Standard, that standard has preference.
