Building hardware - Electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors - Requirements and test methods
Please read the qualifying note at the end of the summary of the directive. This European Standard specifies requirements for separate hold-open devices and also for hold-open mechanisms incorporated in a door closer. Electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors manufactured according to this European Standard can hold a swing door at a fixed position or can allow the door to swing freely. In each case interruption of the electrical supply will cause the controlled door to close positively. Electrically powered hold-open devices manufactured in accordance with this European Standard are recommended for use wherever there is a requirement for reliable hold-open and release of self closing fire/smoke door assemblies. Whilst these devices can incorporate smoke or fire detection elements, the performance of those particular elements is outside of the scope of this European Standard. NOTE : The series of European Standards EN 54 covers the requirements, test methods and performance criteria of resettable smoke/fire detectors.
Schlösser und Baubeschläge - Elektrisch betriebene Feststellvorrichtungen für Drehflügeltüren - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Norm legt Anforderungen für von Türschliessern unabhängige Feststellvorrichtungen und auch für solche, die in einem Türschliesser eingebaut sind, fest. Elektrische betriebene Feststellvorrichtungen, hergestelltin Übereinstimmung mit dieser Norm, können eine Tür in einer bestimmten Position festhalten oder aber auch frei schwingen lassen. In jedem Fall verursacht die Unterbrechung der Stromzufuhr ein zwangsläufiges Schliessen der mit einem Türschliesser ausgerüsteten Tür.

Cette norme spécifie les exigences relatives aux dispositifs de retenue électromagnétique isolés et également aux dispositifs de retenue électromagnétique incorporés dans un dispositif de fermeture de porte. Les dispositifs de retenue conformes à cette norme peuvent retenir la porte dans une position fixe ou permettre à celle-ci de fonctionner librement. Dans chaque cas, la coupure de l'alimentation électrique provoque la fermeture complète de la porte contrôlée.

Overview
EN 1155:1997 (CEN) - "Building hardware - Electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors - Requirements and test methods" is a European Standard that specifies functional requirements and test methods for electrically powered hold-open devices used on swing doors. It covers both separate hold-open devices and hold-open mechanisms incorporated in door closers. The standard is intended to ensure reliable hold-open and positive release behavior, particularly for self-closing fire and smoke door assemblies.
Note: consult the qualifying note at the start of the directive summary for any specific applicability or exceptions.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of devices: Applies to standalone electrically powered hold-open devices and integrated hold-open mechanisms in door closers for swing doors.
- Operational modes: Devices may hold a door at a fixed position or permit it to swing freely while held.
- Fail-safe behavior: Interruption of the electrical supply must cause the controlled door to close positively - a critical safety requirement for fire and smoke doors.
- Intended use: Recommended for reliable hold-open and release of self-closing fire/smoke door assemblies.
- Detection elements: Devices may incorporate smoke or fire detection elements, but the performance and testing of those detectors are outside EN 1155’s scope.
- Test methods: The standard includes defined test procedures to verify performance and compliance (functional tests, release behavior, durability, etc.). Specific detector standards (e.g., resettable smoke/fire detectors) are covered by other standards such as EN 54.
Applications
- Specifying and testing electrically powered hold-open devices for commercial, institutional, and residential buildings.
- Ensuring compliant hold-open and release performance on fire doors, smoke doors, and other self-closing swing doors.
- Used by manufacturers to design and certify products, architects and specifiers to select compliant hardware, and fire safety engineers and inspectors to assess installation safety.
- Relevant to installers, maintenance teams, and facility managers responsible for door hardware reliability and emergency egress performance.
Who uses this standard
- Hardware manufacturers and product designers
- Building services and fire safety consultants
- Architects and specification writers
- Door installers, testers, and maintenance personnel
- Regulatory bodies and building inspectors
Related standards
- EN 54 series - covers requirements and test methods for resettable smoke/fire detectors (detection elements referenced but not covered by EN 1155)

記事のタイトル:EN 1155:1997 - 建築ハードウェア - スイングドア用の電動ホールドオープン装置 - 要件と試験方法 記事の内容:要約の最後にある指針の注記を読んでください。この欧州標準は、別々のホールドオープン装置およびドアクローザーに組み込まれたホールドオープンメカニズムの要件を定めています。この欧州標準に準拠して製造されたスイングドア用の電動ホールドオープン装置は、スイングドアを固定位置で保持するか自由にスイングさせることができますが、電源供給が途切れると制御されたドアが確実に閉まります。この欧州標準に準拠した電動ホールドオープン装置は、自己閉鎖式の防火/煙ドアアセンブリの信頼性のあるホールドオープンと解除が必要な場所での使用が推奨されます。ただし、これらの装置には煙や火災検知要素を組み込むことができますが、それらの要素の性能はこの欧州標準の対象外です。注記:欧州標準EN 54シリーズは、リセット可能な煙/火災検出器の要件、試験方法、性能基準をカバーしています。
The article discusses the requirements and test methods outlined in the European Standard EN 1155:1997 for electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors. These devices can either hold the door at a fixed position or allow it to swing freely, but will close the door when the electrical supply is interrupted. The standard recommends the use of these devices for reliable hold-open and release of self-closing fire/smoke door assemblies, but it does not cover the performance of smoke or fire detection elements. For those elements, the EN 54 series of European Standards should be referred to, as it covers the requirements, test methods, and performance criteria for resettable smoke/fire detectors.

The EN 1155:1997 European Standard specifies requirements for electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors. These devices can hold the door at a fixed position or allow it to swing freely. Interruption of the electrical supply will cause the door to close. They are recommended for use in self closing fire/smoke door assemblies for reliable hold-open and release. However, the performance of smoke or fire detection elements is not covered by this standard. The EN 54 series of standards covers the requirements and test methods for resettable smoke/fire detectors.
