Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates and pedestrian doorsets - Protective devices for power operated doors and gates - Requirements and test methods; German version FprEN 12978:2023
Abstract
This document specifies requirements and test methods for sensitive protective equipment put separately on the market as safety components to be used with entrance equipment such as power operated industrial, commercial and garage doors, gates and barriers, power operated pedestrian doors and power operated pedestrian entrance control equipment. Requirements for the safe function of the combination of protective device and industrial, commercial and garage doors and barriers are given in EN 12453. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the power operation of doors, and gates and barriers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable as identified in Clause 4. All lifetime phases of the sensitive protective equipment including transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping are considered by this document. This document is not intended to be used for sensitive protective equipment using ultrasonic, radar, capacitive, inductive, and passive infrared and vision based technologies. For these types of equipment this document can be used as a guide to demonstrate that such a device is allowed. This document is not applicable to sensitive protective equipment manufactured before the date of its publication.
