Building hardware - Panic exit devices operated by a horizontal bar, for use on escape routes - Requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies requirements for the manufacture; performance and testing of panic exit devices mechanically operated by a horizontal bar, for the purpose of achieving a safe exit under a panic situation on escape routes.
This European Standard covers panic exit devices which are either manufactured and placed on the market in their entirety by one producer or assembled from sub-assemblies produced by more than one producer and subsequently placed on the market as a kit in a single transaction.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1125:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,
windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1125:2008.
The major changes in this revision are as follows:
nd
— different sealing forces have been introduced for classification of the durability (2 digit);
th
— a new bar type C has been introduced (9 digit);
th
— an additional grade has been introduced for release force, in relation with safety classification (5
digit);
th
— definition of field of door application has been modified (10 digit);
— safety requirements about Outside Access Device have been added;
th
— security grades have been added (7 digit);

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 shall not necessarily operate the panic
