2013 Opens the door for new
Automatic door safety
Anne Saxby, Automatic Door Installation
Association Director, has been involved in
Automatic door Associations for over 15
Years. Here she explains to Clearview how
new legislation impacted automatic door
safety in 2013…
April 10th 2013 saw the implementation
of the new BS EN16005 - Power operated
pedestrian doorsets — Safety in use—
Requirements and test methods.
The new document sates, “This European
Standard shall be given the status of a national
standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by April
2013, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by April 2013.”
This has been perceived as superseding the
existing standard BS7036:199 ??H?]??[?\?\?]\??X[? ?YH[?Z[YY]??X][??H [?Y??YY ?[?\??]]?X]X??? ?Y?] H ??Y??]]\??K??H??S?M?
