Building hardware - Electrically controlled hold-open systems for fire/smoke door assemblies - Requirements, test methods, application and maintenance

This European Standard specifies requirements, methods of test and performance criteria against which the compatibility of components and their performance can be assessed when used in combination to form an electrically controlled hold-open system. It also specifies requirements for the integrity of such hold-open systems when connected to fire detection and fire alarm systems or other systems, including the signal exchange and technical data for interfaces.
This European Standard provides requirements for the application of electrically controlled hold-open systems used for fire/smoke doors in buildings, where such doors are required to be self-closing. It covers planning, design (see Annex A), installation (see Annex B), commissioning, use and maintenance (see Annex E) of hold-open systems, intended for the protection of life and/or the protection of property. This may also include hold-open systems, or components of the hold-open system, that are self-contained in a single enclosure.
Electrically controlled hold-open systems manufactured, installed and serviced in accordance with this European Standard are recommended for use wherever there is a requirement for reliable hold-open and release of an individual self-closing fire/smoke door assembly in the case of fire.
The use of hold-open systems for closures in conveyor systems conforming to EN 1366-7, which applies in conjunction with EN 1363-1, may require additional proof of suitability, which is not covered by this European Standard.
This European Standard does not cover design, installation, commissioning, use and maintenance of building fire detection and fire alarm systems (covered by CEN/TS 54-14) but does cover the connection of hold-open systems conforming to this European Standard to building fire detection and fire alarm systems, under certain prescribed conditions.
This European Standard does not cover the requirements of performance characteristics and operational environment conditions of part

Quincaillerie pour le bâtiment - Systèmes de retenue contrôlés électriquement pour blocs-portes, coupe-feu ou pare-fumée - Exigences, méthode d'essai, mise en œuvre et maintenance

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d’essai et les critères de performances par rapport auxquels la compatibilité des composants et leurs performances peuvent être évaluées lorsqu’ils sont utilisés en combinaison pour former un système de retenue contrôlé électriquement. Elle spécifie également les exigences d’intégrité de ces systèmes de retenue lorsqu’ils sont connectés à des systèmes de détection et d’alarme incendie ou à d’autres systèmes, y compris l’échange de signaux, ainsi que les données techniques pour les interfaces.
La présente Norme européenne donne les exigences pour la mise en œuvre de systèmes de retenue contrôlés électriquement sur les portes coupe-feu/pare-fumée dans les bâtiments pour lesquels des portes à fermeture automatique sont exigées. Elle couvre la planification, la conception (voir Annexe A), l’installation (voir Annexe B), la mise en service, l’utilisation et la maintenance (voir Annexe E) de systèmes de retenue destinés à protéger la vie et/ou des biens. Ces derniers peuvent se présenter sous la forme de systèmes de retenue indépendants ou de composants de système de retenue contenus dans un boîtier séparé.
Les systèmes de retenue contrôlés électriquement fabriqués, installés et entretenus conformément à la présente Norme européenne sont recommandés chaque fois qu’une fonction fiable de retenue et de fermeture automatique est requise pour un bloc-porte coupe-feu/pare-fumée en cas d’incendie.
L'utilisation de systèmes de retenue pour fermetures dans des systèmes de convoyeurs conformes à l'EN 1366-7, qui s'applique avec l'EN 1363-1, peut exiger des preuves d'adéquation supplémentaires qui ne sont pas couvertes par la présente Norme européenne.

Introduction The purpose of an electrically controlled hold-open system is to reliably hold open and then release self-closing fire/smoke control door assemblies at the earliest practicable moment, in the event of fire, but not to generate an alarm signal. In this regard the required function of the fire detectors is different to the normal usage of fire detectors in fire detection and fire alarm systems. In the case of hold-open systems, conforming to this European Standard, the primary objective is to release a door reliably for self-closing and any incidence of false alarms is of secondary importance. In the case of fire detection and fire alarm systems, however, the incidence of false alarms needs to be kept to the absolute minimum (See 6.1.1 and 6.1.2). This does not, however, exclude the fact that detectors of fire detection and fire alarm systems may be used to initiate door release signals. A logic diagram for modes of operation of an electrically controlled hold-open system is shown in Figure 3. This European Standard is drafted on the basis of essential system functions and components which are provided on all electrically controlled hold-open systems and which comprise hold-open device(s), a control unit, a power supply unit, and fire detector(s) (see Figure 1). Options with requirements for additional system functions and components can also be provided, such as remote indicating devices, interconnecting cables, door position sensors, interfaces with other systems, manual controls and a stand-by power supply (see Figure 2). It is intended that the options be used for specific applications. The optional function(s) and components are included separately, with their own set of associated requirements, in order to permit electrically controlled hold-open systems with many different combinations of functions to conform to this European Standard. Where an option is taken, corresponding requirements are included. The performance tests incorporated in this European Standard are reproducible and, as such, will provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these hold-open systems.

EXAMPLE Doors within factories, office buildings, hotels, hospitals, schools and other buildings which provide access to designated areas and which are used by the public and others frequently carrying or moving bulky objects. 4.3 Durability (second digit) Seven grades of durability are identified, based on the hold-open component of the system:  Grade 0:
500 test cycles;  Grade 1:
2 500 test cycles;  Grade 3:
10 000 test cycles;  Grade 5:
50 000 test cycles;  Grade 6:
100 000 test cycles;  Grade 7:
200 000 test cycles;  Grade 8:
500 000 test cycles. For the test method, 5.5.2 and 5.5.3.2 shall apply. 4.4 Door type (third digit) Five grades of door types and therefore different hold-open systems are identified:  Grade 1: Swing doors;  Grade 2: Sliding doors;  Grade 3: Roller shutter, sectional and lifting doors;  Grade 4: Automatic swing doors;  Grade 5: Automatic sliding and folding doors.
