EN 13241 apply.
4 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
4.1 General
The number of full operational cycles for which the door is designed/constructed, shall take into
account the planned maintenance and replacement of parts subject to wear and fatigue.
4.2 Design and construction
4.2.1 Operability
The door and its components, including its fixing and assembling means as specified by the
manufacturer for attachment to a building or structure, shall be designed so that elastic or permanent
deformations under operational forces or torques which occur during normal use do not affect the
operation and the safety of the door.
The minimum safety factors for calculation purposes to be used for stress due to all loads for the design
of the door are given in Table 1.
Table 1 — Safety factors for materials for calculation purposes
Safety factor for yield stress Safety factor for breaking stress
2,0 minimum 3,5 minimum
!For components where testing is carried out instead of calculation the minimum safety factor before
yield shall be 1,1."
4.2.2 Glazing
Glazing elements in the door shall be so designed that they remain fully secured under normal
operating conditions.
In order to avoid occurrence of sharp splinters, cutting edges or other dangerous parts, the glazing
material shall comply at least with the requirements of class 3 of EN 12600:2002 and the glazing
material shall not break.
Door leaves made primarily from glazing material shall be clearly recognizable, e.g. by visible
separations, permanent marking, suitable labels or by using coloured materials.
4.3 Protection against unintentional and uncontrolled movements
4.3.1 Guides and end stops
The guides (and where appropriate the door leaf as well as any other moving part of a door system)
shall be designed and constructed in such a way that unintentional disengagement or derailment are
prevented during normal operation, or in case of contact with a stationary obstacle, or in case of failure
of a suspension element.
The movement of the door leaf shall be limited by end stops. Mechanical end stoppers in the terminal
positions of the door movement shall withstand the energy developed by the possible impact of the
door leaf.
4.3.2 Unintentional movements due to wind
When relevant, the door shall incorporate means suitable to prevent movement of the door due to the
influence of wind. These means shall be effective at the relevant terminal position(s).
4.3.3 Uncontrolled movements of vertically operating doors
A vertically operating door leaf shall come to a stop and stay in position when released in any position
during the opening or closing movement in normal operation.
4.3.4 Safeguarding against dropping of vertically operating door leaves
Vertically operating door leaves shall be safeguarded against dropping when in normal use or when a
failure of a single element of the suspension or balancing system occurs. The failure of the connection
between drum and curtain of a rolling door shall also be taken into consideration if the door when in
the fully closed position does not cover at least half of the circumference of the roller.
The door shall not be able to close uncontrolled if a component fails. The design of the door shall also
ensure that in case of a single failure the resulting short-term transient loads will not cause secondary
mechanical failures of other elements of the door. Elements of the suspension or balancing system
which could fail during operation of a door are balancing springs, counterweights, steel wire ropes,
pulley, drums, chains, straps, belts and their attaching parts.
Rigid parts such as shafts or levers, provided that they are dimensioned and designed for the maximum
load and foreseeable overload, need not be considered as a potential cause of the suspension or
balancing system failure.
Safeguarding against dropping can be achieved by either using an anti-drop safety device or by other
design features incorporated into the door. Safeguarding against dropping shall fulfil the following
requirements:
a) in the event of a failure in the door suspension or balancing system, the main edge of the door leaf
shall not move downwards more than 300 mm even in case of bouncing;
b) after the door leaf has been stopped by the anti-drop safeguarding, it shall be held safely in the
same position, as long as no further action in accordance with the user instructions is carried out.
User instructions shall clearly specify when a competent person is needed to further operate the
stopped door;
c) the anti-drop safeguarding shall be automatically activated in the event of a suspension or
balancing system failure;
d) an anti-drop safeguarding shall be designed to take the full dynamic load of the door leaf;
e) further, any component affected by the action of the anti-drop safeguarding shall be designed to
bear the resulting dynamic forces;
f) parts of the anti-drop safeguarding or other door components may need to be replaced after
activation of the anti-drop safeguarding. Unless activation of the anti-drop safeguarding does not
cause any deformation and/or damage which impairs further operation of the door and of the anti-
drop safeguarding, instructions for use shall specify parts to be replaced and whether the
replacement can be carried out by the user.
The requirements of this paragraph can be disregarded if the following two requirements are
simultaneously fulfilled:
— the maximum out-of-balance of the door leaf static force occurring at the primary closing edge of
the door does not exceed 200 N when there is a suspension or balancing component failure;
and
— the failed component is clearly visible or detectable during normal operation of the door.
4.3.5 Safeguarding against dropping of hinged doors
Hinged door leaves shall be safeguarded against dropping when in normal use or when a failure of a
single element of the fixing system occurs. The door leaf shall not be able to move uncontrolled if a
component fails.
In case a hinge or other supporting means breaks or is damaged, the anti-drop safety device shall be
able to keep the leaf in p

The clear exclusions, such as lock gates, dock gates, and railway barriers, allow stakeholders to focus on the relevant categories without confusion. This specificity helps streamline compliance efforts and enhances the focus on safety and operational effectiveness. The standard also recognizes the importance of not compromising structural integrity, as it explicitly states that the doors it governs cannot be part of a building's load-bearing structure. This provision mitigates potential safety hazards associated with using inadequately specified doors in critical structural applications. Thus, the EN 12604:2017+A1:2020 standard is not only relevant for manufacturers and operators but also serves as a vital tool for ensuring safety and compliance in the installation and use of industrial, commercial, and garage doors and gates. Its emphasis on rigorous mechanical requirements and test methods aligns well with the industry's increasing focus on quality and safety.
SIST EN 12604:2017+A1:2021 표준은 산업, 상업 및 차고 문 및 게이트의 기계적 측면에 대해 요구사항 및 시험 방법을 규정하고 있습니다. 이 유럽 표준은 사람의 접근이 가능한 영역에 설치되고, 주로 물품과 차량의 안전한 접근을 제공하기 위한 수동 조작 문, 게이트 및 장벽에 대한 기계적 요구 사항과 시험 방법을 명시하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 다양한 산업 및 상업 환경에서 적용될 수 있는 수동 조작 도어, 게이트 및 장벽의 안전성을 보장하는 것입니다. 또한 수직 이동이 가능한 상업적 도어들, 예를 들어 롤링 셔터 및 롤링 그릴과 같은 제품에 대해서도 다루고 있어 소매 공간에서의 물품 보호에 기여할 수 있습니다. 또한, 이 표준은 건물의 하중 지지 구조의 일부가 아닌 도어에만 적용되며, 특수한 용도(예: 동물 제한, 보행자 용도 또는 철도 장벽)에 대한 적용 범위를 명확히 하여 사용자가 필요한 경우에 따라 올바른 선택을 할 수 있도록 돕고 있습니다. 더불어, 이 문서에서 "도어"라는 용어는 표준의 범위에 정의된 다양한 유형과 변동을 포괄하는 것으로 해석되므로, 표준의 유연성과 범용성을 더욱 강조합니다. 이러한 측면에서 SIST EN 12604:2017+A1:2021 표준은 산업 및 상업용 환경에서 필요한 안전 기준을 제공하며, 품질 보증 및 위험 관리 측면에서도 중요한 기준이 될 수 있습니다.
