Overview

EN 12219:1999 - "Doors - Climatic influences - Requirements and classification" (CEN) defines how door leaves and doorsets are assessed for performance under climatic conditions. The standard applies to assemblies tested in accordance with prEN 1121-2 and prEN 1294 and provides a framework for stating requirements and classifying doors with respect to their behaviour when exposed to environmental factors such as temperature and moisture variations.

This standard is intended for manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers who need a consistent, CEN‑based approach to evaluate and communicate a door’s suitability for different climatic conditions.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability - Clarifies which types of door leaves and doorsets are covered and references the required test documents (prEN 1121-2 and prEN 1294).
• Requirements for climatic performance - Sets out the criteria that doors must meet when exposed to climatic stresses; focused on measurable outcomes from referenced tests.
• Classification system - Provides a way to classify doors based on test results so users can compare products and select the appropriate performance level for a given environment.
• Test reference linkage - Relies on results from prEN 1121-2 and prEN 1294; the standard formalizes how those test outcomes translate into requirements and classes.
• Documentation and marking - Guides how manufacturers should report climatic performance and classification for product declarations and specifications.

Applications

Who uses EN 12219:1999 and why:

• Door manufacturers - For product development, quality control and to create product data sheets that specify climatic classification.
• Test laboratories - To interpret and report test results consistently against a recognized European classification.
• Architects and specifiers - To select doorsets suitable for particular climates (e.g., coastal, high-humidity, extreme-temperature applications) by referencing an established classification.
• Building owners and facility managers - To verify that installed doors meet required climatic performance for durability, sealing and operational reliability.
• Regulatory and certification bodies - As a reference when assessing compliance with national or project-specific performance requirements.

Related Standards

• prEN 1121-2 (referenced test procedures for door testing)
• prEN 1294 (referenced test procedures for doorsets)
• Other CEN/EN standards for doors and windows may be used alongside EN 12219 for comprehensive product specification and conformity assessment.
