Industrial, commercial, garage doors and gates - Product standard, performance characteristics

1.1   General
This European Standard specifies the safety and performance requirements for doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises.
This European Standard also covers commercial doors such as rolling shutters and rolling grilles used in retail premises which are mainly provided for the access of persons rather than vehicles or goods.
These doors can include pass doors incorporated in the door leaf which are also covered by this European Standard.
These devices can be manually or power operated.
This European Standard does not cover operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000-6-3.
1.2   Exclusions
This European Standard does not apply to the following which are intended for a different use:
-   lock gates and dock gates;
-   doors on lifts;
-   doors on vehicles;
-   armoured doors;
-   doors mainly for the retention of animals;
-   theatre textile curtains;
-   horizontally moving manually operated pedestrian doors with a leaf size less than 6,25 m²;
-   horizontally moving power operated doors less than 2,5 m wide and 6,25 m² area, designed principally for pedestrian use in accordance with prEN 12650-1;
-   revolving doors of any size;
-   railway barriers;
-   barriers used solely for vehicles.
This European Standard does not cover the radio part of doors. If a radio operating device is used, the relevant ETSI standards should be applied in addition.
This European Standard does not contain any specific requirements for fire resistance or smoke control characteristics which are covered in prEN 13241-2.

Overview

EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011/FprA2 is the European product standard for industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates, defining safety and performance characteristics for doors and barriers intended to be installed within the reach of people. It covers manually and power-operated doors used to give safe access for goods, vehicles and persons in industrial, commercial, retail and residential premises. Rolling shutters, rolling grilles and pass‑doors incorporated in a door leaf are included when primarily intended for pedestrian access. The standard excludes fire- and smoke-resistance requirements (see EN 16034) and does not address radio equipment requirements or environments outside the electromagnetic disturbance range of EN 61000-6-3.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and exclusions: Specifies which door types are covered and expressly excludes items such as lift doors, doors on vehicles, armoured doors, dock/lock gates, revolving doors, theatre curtains, railway barriers and vehicle-only barriers.
  • Safety and performance: Requirements focus on mechanical safety, operational performance and usability for doors and gates located where people may be present.
  • Manual and power operation: Applies to both manually operated devices and power-operated units - including cases where power has been added to an existing manual door (with some Annex ZA limitations).
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): Does not apply when electromagnetic disturbances exceed levels in EN 61000-6-3.
  • Radio control: The standard excludes the radio part of door systems; where radio remote control is used, applicable ETSI standards should be applied in addition.
  • Annex ZA / CE marking: The amendment updates CE‑marking references and Annex ZA content to align the consolidated reference number (EN 13241) and clarify conformity assessment links.
  • Non-covered hazards: No specific requirements for noise emission, doors moved by human-stored energy (manually tensioned springs), or escape route doors.

Applications and who uses it

  • Manufacturers of industrial doors, commercial doors, garage doors, rolling shutters and rolling grilles use EN 13241 to design, test and declare product performance.
  • Specifiers, architects and building owners reference the standard to ensure doors meet safety and performance expectations for workplaces, retail premises and residential settings.
  • Installers and maintenance providers use the standard to verify correct installation and safe operation, especially for power-operated systems.
  • Notified bodies and conformity assessment entities rely on the standard and Annex ZA for CE marking and EU Directive alignment.

Related standards

  • EN 16034 - Fire resisting and/or smoke control characteristics for doors and gates.
  • EN 16361 - Power operated pedestrian doors (referenced for pedestrian-oriented power doors).
  • EN 61000-6-3 - Electromagnetic disturbance limits.
  • Relevant ETSI standards for radio/remote control components.

Keywords: EN 13241, industrial doors standard, garage doors, commercial doors, performance characteristics, safety requirements, CE marking, rolling shutters.
