scope:
This European Standard applies to all doors. The standard specifies the method to be used to determine the damage caused by striking with a soft and heavy body, the face of a closed door leaf fixed in its own door frame as part of a doorset. NOTE: Such forces that might reasonably be expected from impacts by human bodies and substantial objects with similar characteristics should neither damage, nor impair the normal performance of, a door. The method may also be used in respect of a door leaf submitted for test in a frame which the manufacturer considers appropriate to and typical for the intended utilisation.
