Introduction
Experience relating to escape from buildings, fire and/or smoke hazards and general safety has made it
desirable that doors, in public areas, public buildings, places of public entertainment, shops etc, or those that
have to be operated in a panic situation, be fitted with panic exit devices operated by a horizontal bar to
common European Standard specifications.
The main purpose of the performance requirements contained in this European Standard is to give safe and
effective escape through a doorway with one single operation by hand and/or body pressure to release the
panic exit device, with minimum effort and without prior knowledge of the panic exit device.
In a panic situation, a group of people will react differently from an individual. When two or more people are
rushing to an exit door located on an escape route, probably in darkness and/or smoke, it is possible that the
first one to reach the door will not necessarily operate the panic exit device, but can push the surface of the
door (door under pressure) while other people will be trying to operate the horizontal bar by hand or body
pressure. See Figure 1.
Whilst reasonable external security will be provided by the panic exit devices covered in this standard to avoid
potential misuse of the device (chains, bolts, etc.), the main objective is to enable a door to be opened at all
times by hand or body pressure along its inside face on the panic exit device and not requiring the use of a
key or any other object.
The performance tests incorporated in this European Standard are considered to be reproducible and, as
such, will provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these panic exit devices.
Where emergency exit devices are required for situations in which people are familiar with the use of the door
hardware in their surroundings, where exit doors are required to be inwardly-opening, and/or where a panic
situation is unlikely to develop, reference can be made to EN 179, covering emergency exit devices. See
definition 3.19.
Where additional security is required for exit doors, reference should be made to EN 13637 covering
electrically controlled exit systems, for use on escape routes. See Bibliography.
Due to the wide range of panic exit devices, the reader is advised to refer to the scope and the detailed
contents of this European Standard for coverage but, for information and general guide, this revised European
Standard now deals with:
panic exit devices designed to be used in panic situations;
panic exit devices for use on hinged or pivoted door leaves only;
range of panic exit devices including those for use on double doorsets (see 7.10);
Three specific types of horizontal bar operation: panic exit devices with "push-bar", type A (see 3.9 and
Figure 2), panic exit devices with "touch-bar", type B (see 3.15 and Figure 3) and panic exit devices with
"pivot touch-bar", type C (see 3.34 and Figure 4);
two categories of panic exit device projection in order to maximize the width of the escape route, and
minimize the projection from the door face where either or both of these criteria are of importance (see
4.2.1.4);
two specific designs of panic exit devices: those designed for use on single leaf doors only, and those
specifically designed for use on single leaf doors and/or double doorsets.

This European Standard does not cover the following:
any particular design of panic exit devices, and only such dimensions as are required for safety reasons
are specified;
specific panic exit devices intended for use by the severely disabled (due to the wide range of disabilities,
such panic exit devices and their performances should be agreed between specifier and producer);
emergency exit devices operated by a lever handle or push-pad (see EN 179) or electrically controlled
exit systems (EN 13637).
