EN 12453:2000

EN 12453:2000 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates - Safety in use of power operated doors - Requirements". This standard covers: 1.1 General This standard specifies the performance requirements in regard of the safety in use for any type of power operated doors, gates and barriers 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. 1.2 Exclusions 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 < 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. 1.3 Specific applications 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 standard 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 notspecified in this standard. If the specifications of a standard on the special characteristics of such doors are in conflict with the requirements of this standard, that standard has preference.
