scope:

This document specifies the safety requirements in regard of the safety in use for any type of power operated doors, gates and barriers or their components intended for installation in areas in the reach of people and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial and residential premises. This document also covers commercial doors such as rolling shutters and rolling grilles used in retail premises which are mainly provided for the access of persons rather than vehicles or goods. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the power operation of doors, gates and barriers, as identified in Annex C. It 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 doors less than 2,5 m wide and 6,25 m2 area, designed principally for -pedestrian use; - revolving doors of any size; - doors outside the reach of people (such as crane gantry fences); - railway barriers; - barriers used solely for vehicles. Also this document does not apply to power operated doors, gates and barriers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. Doors, gates and barriers can be of sliding, sidefolding, tilting, pivoting, rolling, vertical lifting and other types with many variances for each type. If not specified otherwise, the word "door" refers to any of these types and variances of doors, gates and barriers. In the following, a power-operated door is considered as a whole. Nevertheless such a door can be the result of the implementation of a drive unit onto a manual door. In that case, this document is applicable for the completed final installation. 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 document, that standard has preference.
