The function of automatic activators is to ensure that activation is achieved by a person approaching a
doorset at normal walking pace.

In some situation, i.e. doorset opening on a public path, to avoid the doorset staying permanently open due
to continuous passage of people, the person will have to get close to the doorset to activate the sensor and
will have to wait for the doorset to open. The distance from the doorset to the position where activation is
initiated to ensure the doorset is open in time will be influenced by the doorset width and its opening speed.

The selection and location of activation devices shall also take into account the expected line of approach to
the doorset by the user. If the line of approach could be from several directions, additional activation devices
- possibly a combination of devices - may be required to ensure satisfactory operation.

NOTE Activation can, for example, be radar, infra-red sensors, mat activation, vision detection sensors, etc.

4.5.1.2 Mat activation

The minimum width of the exposed area of a mat activator shall be the doorway opening width, less a
maximum of 75 mm on each side.

The minimum depth of the exposed area of a mat activator may vary, depending on the width of the doorset.

To ensure that the doorset opens in time, the minimum depth should be 1 000 mm from the plane of the
doorset, or, in case of a doorset opening against the direction of travel, from the leading edge of the doorset
(or doorsets) in the open position.

The minimum depth shall be not less than 1 500 mm for power operated sliding doorsets on escape routes
without break-out function.

Where two or more mat activators are fitted side by side the inactive distance between the adjacent edges
shall not exceed 60 mm.

Where two mat activators are fitted next to each other at a threshold the inactive distance between them
shall not exceed 75 mm.

Mat activators shall be securely fastened to the floor without tripping hazards.

4.5.1.3 Sensor activation

Motion sensing devices or presence sensing devices may be used as automatic activation devices to initiate
doorset movement since they are capable of detecting motion or presence within a given detection zone.
Attention shall be paid to the provision and positioning of sufficient automatic activation devices for different
types of doorset.

NOTE 1 The edge of the detection zone where activation is preferably minimum 1 000 mm in front of the plane of the
doorset.

NOTE 2 Motion sensing devices or presence sensing devices are devices designed to detect the movement of
objects or persons and to give a signal to the control system.

In the case of power operated doorsets on escape routes without break-out function, the detection zone in
the escape direction shall be not less than 1 500 mm measured from the centre of the opening width of the
doorset. The detection zone shall cover at least the entire opening width of the doorset.

14
 BS EN 16005:2012
EN 16005:2012 (E)

When a swing doorset opens towards the user, the edge of the detection zone where activation is initiated
shall be minimum 1 000 mm from the leading edge of the doorset leaf in its fully open position.

4.5.2 Manual activation

Manual activation enables the user to open a power operated doorset by deliberately operating a manual
activation device. The manual command may, however, also be given by pushing the doorset. Manually
activated doorsets are also usually designed to close automatically after a predetermined delay.

The possibility of manual activation may be provided on power operated doorsets used by the public, for
instance to help elderly and infirm persons open the doorset. Additional signs will be necessary.

NOTE See example of pictogram in Annex D.

The type of manual activation device and its positioning shall meet the needs of the user. In particular, the
device shall be positioned where the user has a clear view of the doorset to ensure that they will not be
impeded or struck by the doorset during its opening cycle. Manual activation devices shall be designed and
installed so as to minimise the risk of inadvertent activation. They shall be positioned within reach of the user
and shall be clearly identified and visible.

4.5.3 Remote activation

Remote activation enables a doorset to be activated by a remote command that may be initiated some
distance from the doorset. The remote command may be given by a fire alarm, a centralised control station
following mains power failure or by other sources.

The remote activation of a doorset on escape or emergency route shall only initiate the opening of the
doorset or hold the doorset in an open position.

4.6 Avoidance of danger points and protection at danger points

4.6.1 General

Power operated pedestrian doorsets shall be designed so that hazards due to crushing, shearing, impact
and drawing-in during the opening and closing cycles are avoided or so that safeguards against such
hazards are provided.

Danger points shall be safeguarded up to a height of 2,5 m above the floor with the following exception:

a) the guide slot in the drive cover, or drive arm or closing action at the top of the doorset below the lintel is
not regarded as a danger point and a protective device need not be provided at this point as any contact
with it requires an intentional action;

b) danger points between the leaf and frame presenting a fingertrap hazard can be protected up to only
2 m.

The following may be used:

 guards (see 4.6.9);

 barriers (see 4.6.10 an 4.6.11);

 limitation of leaf forces (does not apply to shearing and drawing-in hazards) (see 4.6.7);

 low energy movement (see 4.6.4).

4.6.2 Power operated sliding doorsets

4.6.2.1 Opening of the doorset

Safeguards concerning the danger of crushing and impact shall be deemed to have been provided at the
danger points during the opening cycle if one of the following requirements is met, considering that when a
large proportion of the users are elderly, infirm, disabled persons and young children any contact of the
doorset with the user is unacceptable:

a) there is a safety distance (Y) ≥ 200 mm between the secondary closing edge and adjacent parts of the
surroundings with regard to the endangered parts of the human body and the leaves move along a plain
part and the distance (X) between the front surface of the leave and the fixed side screen is not more
than 100 mm (see Figure 2 a)). In this case, the impact hazard and the hazard concerning crushing of
the body are considered to be not relevant. For telescopic doorsets, the reference leaf for the
measurement is considered to be the one nearest to the adjacent part of the surroundings; or

b) the force of the leaves is limited to the permitted forces specified in 4.6.7.2 and the leaves move along a
plain part and the distance (X) between the front surface of the leave and the fixed side screen is more

4.6.2.2 Closing of the doorset

Safeguards shall be deemed to have been provided at the danger points during the closing cycle if one of
the following requirements is met, considering that when a large proportion of the users are elderly, infirm,
disabled persons and young children, any contact of the doorset with the user is to be considered
unacceptable:

a) protective devices in accordance with 4.6.8 are provided at the main closing edge so that in protection
area (see Annex C) the reference body CA is detected in all positions of the travel area of the doorset
leaves, or

b) the movement fulfils the low energy requirements of 4.6.4.

4.6.3 Power operated swing doorsets

4.6.3.1 General

If power operated and swing doorsets are moved by stored mechanical energy during part of an opening or
closing cycle this part of the movement shall be adjusted to low energy settings as required in 4.6.4 or shall
meet the requirements in 4.6.3.2 or 4.6.3.3.

For doorsets opening directly on to areas with through traffic or when any contact with the user is
unacceptable because a large proportion of the users are elderly, infirm, disabled persons and young
children additional protective devices in accordance with 4.6.8 shall be provided.

4.6.3.2 Opening of the doorset

Crushing, and impact danger points between the doorset leaf and the adjacent parts of the surroundings of
the doorset can be considered safeguarded during the opening cycle if:

a) the doorset is adjusted according to the low energy requirements defined in 4.6.4 during opening; or

b) the doorset is adjusted according to the settings defined in Annex G and a sufficient safety distance is
provided (see Figure 3 a)); or

c) protective devices in accordance with 4.6.8 monitor the travel area of the doorset leaf; or

d) the travel area of the leaf is safeguarded by mats complying with EN 1760-1.

4.6.3.3 Closing of the doorset

Crushing, shearing and impact danger points between the doorset leaf and the adjacent parts of the
surroundings of the doorset can be considered safeguarded during the closing cycle if:

a) the doorset is adjusted according to the low energy requirements defined in 4.6.4 during closing; or

b) the doorset is adjusted according to the settings defined in Annex G; or

c) protective devices in accordance with 4.6.8 monitor the travel area of the doorset leaf; or

4.6.4 Low energy movement

4.6.4.1 General

The force required to prevent a stopped doorset from opening or closing any further - measured at the main
closing edge in the direction of travel - shall not exceed 67 N at any point in the opening or closing cycle.

The kinetic energy of a doorset in motion shall not exceed 1,69 J. Annex F states the speed settings for
various widths and masses of doorsets required to obtain results conforming to this requirement.

In the event of any interruption of mains power or failure of the drive, it shall be possible to open the doorset
with a manual force not exceeding 67 N to release a latch and 90 N to open the doorset, when the force is
applied to the main closing edge in the direction of travel.

Low energy movement of the doorset is generally not protected with additional protective devices because
the kinetic energy levels are not considered to be hazardous. However use of low energy doorset movement
should only be considered when the risk assessment has taken account of elderly, frail and disabled users
and indicates that the risk to these users is low.

A static closing force up to 150 N is allowed

a) when the gap between the main closing edge and the counterclosing edge is ≤ 8mm for swing doorsets,
or

b) during the last 50 mm for any type of sliding and folding doorsets.

EN 16005:2012 (E)

4.6.4.2 Additional requirements for low-energy movement of swing doorsets

4.6.4.2.1 Opening time

Doorsets shall open from closed to back check, or 80° whichever occurs first, in 3 s or longer as required in
Table F1. Back check shall not occur before 60° opening. If the doorset opens more than 90° , it shall
continue at the same rate as back check speed.

NOTE Back check: the checking or slowing down of the speed of doorset opening before being fully opened (also
called open check).

4.6.4.2.2 Closing time

It shall be possible to adjust the doorset on site to close from 90° to 10° in not less than 3 s and from 10° to
fully closed in not less than 1,5 s as required in Table F1.

4.6.5 Power operated balanced doorsets

Subclauses 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 apply to balanced doorsets.

Moreover, as the safeguarding of a balanced doorset depends on various factors (e.g. structural conditions,
driving phase and operator principle), the safeguarding of such a doorset has to be realised considering the
prevailing conditions of the installation.

Possible technical solutions for it are, for e.g:

a) safety distances according to 4.6.11 and barriers according to 4.6.10 for crushing and shearing hazards;

b) limitation of leaf forces according to 4.6.7 for crushing and impact hazards;

c) protective devices in accordance with 4.6.8 for crushing, shearing and impact hazards;

d) or a combination thereof.

4.6.6 Power operated folding doorsets

4.6.6.1 Opening of the doorset

Danger points in the area of the hinges, where fingers might get crushed, shall be avoided by constructive
means such as profiles or protected by separating equipment (see Figure 3b) or protective devices.

The crushing edge between the secondary closing edge of the doorset leaf that opens and the opposing
closing edge (e. g. adjacent wall) and the gap between the two folding leaves is regarded as protected if:
a) there is a sufficient safety distance between the secondary closing edge and adjacent parts of the
surroundings with regard to the endangered parts of the human body (see Figure 3 a), or

b) the impact force of the leaves is limited to the permitted forces specified in 4.6.7, or

c) protective devices in accordance with 4.6.8 monitor the travel area of the doorset leaf.

The danger of hitting and crushing within the movement range of the doorset leaves is regarded as
safeguarded if the impact force of the leaves is limited to the permitted forces specified in 4.6.7.

4.6.6.2 Closing of the doorset

Danger points in the area of the hinges, where fingers might get crushed, shall be avoided by constructive
means or protected by protective devices or profiles (see Figure 3b).

19
BS EN 16005:2012
EN 16005:2012 (E)

Crushing edges at the main closing edge are regarded as protected if protective devices according to 4.6.8
are installed at the outer doorset side in combination with a force limitation device according to 4.6.7.

NOTE 1 Only the main closing edges of the doorset leaves can hit people or objects, therefore it is essential that
suitable safeguarding be provided in this area against crushing.

NOTE 2 The crushing and shearing edge between the folding leaves and the operator cover below the lintel is not
regarded as a danger point. It occurs only during opening and moves away from the person..

Figure 4 — Possible dangers of crushing of power operated folding doorsets

4.6.7 Limitation of impact forces

4.6.7.1 General

When limitation of forces is achieved through protective devices, such equipment shall be designed to meet
the requirements specified in 4.6.8.

4.6.7.2 Permissible dynamic forces

The values of dynamic force generated by the doorset leaf when impacting a person or an obstacle shall be
considered to be safe if the limits specified in Table 1 are not exceeded, when measured according to Annex
B with an instrument complying with 5.2.2 or 5.2.3.

5.1 General

Unless test conditions are specified, tests shall be carried out in the worst conditions and configuration.

Tests are normally carried out using the same test specimen.

As far as applicable, tests are performed in normal and abnormal operation. This is not applicable when the
component has already been checked for the relevant fault condition(s).

Testing may also be carried out on a separate test specimen or component if a test is destructive and
equivalent results can be achieved by testing individual parts of the equipment.

5.2 Test conditions

5.9 Special tests for hazards of revolving doorsets

5.9.1 General

This subclause does not apply to low energy power operated revolving doorsets in accordance with 4.6.4.

5.9.2 Main closing edge/opposing closing edge

A touchless protection of this hazard by means of an electro-sensitive equipment installed to avoid this
hazard shall be tested using a CA reference body (see Annex C). The CA reference body shall be located
next to the opposing closing edge and shall not be touched by the doorset leaf (see test 2 in Figures C.7 a),
C.8 a), C.9 a).

If the hazard is protected by a device or combination of devices allowing contact with the doorset, it shall be
tested by a force measurement in accordance with 4.6.7 at an opening width of less than 200 mm as
specified in Figures B.4, B.5 or B.6. If an ESPE is used for speed reduction, the test shall be carried out at
the speed after activation of the ESPE.

5.9.3 Secondary closing edge/floor

Protective equipment installed to avoid this hazard shall be tested using the CB reference body.

The CB reference body is positioned on the floor so that it cannot be pushed away. The doorset shall come
to a stop without completely passing over the reference body or the reference body being touched by the
doorset leaf in the slanted areas. Contact with the flexible parts of the protective equipment is acceptable
(see test 3 in Figures C.7 b), C.8 b) and C.9 b)). If an ESPE is used for speed reduction, the test shall be
carried out with the combination of test bodies CB and CA. See test 4 in Figures C.7 c), C.8 c) and C.9 c).

The test need not be performed if this hazard is safeguarded by safety distances.

5.9.4 Main closing edge/inside wall

Safeguarding of this danger point shall be tested by means of the CB reference body.

The reference body is positioned at a height of 1200 mm above the floor on the drum wall as shown in
Figures C.7 d), C.8 d) and C.9 d). During the test the reference body shall not come into contact with the
doorset leaf (see test 5 in Figures C.7 d), C.8 d) and C.9 d)). Contact with the flexible parts of the protective
equipment is acceptable.

Annex C
(normative)

Tests for protective devices

This annex is applicable to ESPE based on AOPDDRs (Active Optoelectronic Protective Devices responsive
to Diffuse Reflection) using a radiation wavelength in the range 820 nm to 946 nm. For sensing devices
using other technologies, this annex may be used as a guide. ESPE shall always be tested on a complete
power operated doorset assembly.

The CA reference body is a box with the dimensions 0,7 m x 0,3 m x 0,2 m. Both the top side and two sides
that meet are made of a material with a diffuse reflectance value in the range of 2 % to 5 % of the
wavelength of the ESPE transmitter (e.g. IC antistatic foam; see also Figure 2 of IEC 61496-3:2008 for
further materials). The other two sides are made of a material with a diffuse reflectance value in the range of
80 % to 90 % of the wavelength of the ESPE transmitter (e.g. white paper). The base of the reference body
is not defined as it does not serve any purpose in the test.

The CB reference body is made of a matt-black elastomer with a Shore-A hardness of (70 ± 5) and a diffuse
reflectance value in the range of 10 % to 90 % of the wavelength of the ESPE transmitter.

The reference body shall be detected and the doorset shall then either stop before it touches the reference
body, or reverse or switch over to low-speed motion as described in the product documentation.

ESPEs which do not move with the doorset leave(s) shall be tested using all relevant sides of the CA
reference body.

All dimensions are in millimetres.

NOTE For telescopic sliding doorsets, the travelling distance applies to the fast moving leaf.

The maximum speed for doorsets of other masses shall be calculated using the kinetic energy formula,
considering that the maximum admitted energy is 1,69 J:
2
Ec = ½ m v = 1,69 (J)

By knowing the leaf weight, it is possible to calculate the maximum allowed speed as follows:

2 Ec
v= (m/s)
m

where
v is the speed, in m/s;
Ec is the kinetic energy, in J – always 1,69 J;
m is the mass of the doorset leaf, in kg.
Time settings for other travelling distances per leaf and masses shall be calculated using the following
formula:

D
t=
v

where
t is the travelling time for opening or closing, in s;
D is 90 % of the travelling distance of the leaf, in m;
V is the doorset speed, in m/s.
