COMMON MODIFICATIONS
Introduction
Add:
This European Standard has been prepared to provide a means of conforming to essential safety
requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Other requirements and other EU Directives may be
applicable to the drives falling within the scope of this standard.
The relevant requirements of Annex ZE of Part 1 have been incorporated in the text of this Part 2.
Therefore, compliance with the requirements of EN 60335-1 and of this Part 2 gives presumption of conformity
of the product with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR) of Directive 2006/42/EC as stated
in Annex ZZ.
Drives put on the market as machines may be installed by the final user. The requirements of this standard
also cover the foreseeable misuse of the power operated horizontally and vertically moving gates and doors
for pedestrian use as well as for vehicles, garage doors and windows.
Drives placed on the market as partly completed machines should not be installed by the final user. In case of
partly completed machines, reference should be made to the specific procedures of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
1 Scope
Replacement:
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This European Standard deals with the safety of electric drives for horizontally and vertically moving gates,
doors, garage doors and windows for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more
than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives. It also covers the hazards associated with the
movement of the gates, doors, garage doors and windows.
NOTE Z101 Battery-operated appliances and other d.c. supplied appliances are within the scope of this standard.
NOTE Z102 Examples of places where gates, doors, garage doors and windows for household environment may also
be used by non-expert users:
– shops, offices and other working environments
– farm houses;
– hotels, motels and other residential type environments where they are used by clients;
– bed and breakfast type environments.
NOTE Z103 Household environment includes the dwelling and its associated buildings, the garden, etc.
Drives being part of power operated doors, gates, windows and garage doors which are intended to be used
by trained users in shops, in light industry and on farms, are also within the scope of this standard.
NOTE Z104 Examples of drives within the scope of this standard are drives for
– folding doors;
– revolving doors;
– rolling doors;
– roof windows;
– sectional overhead doors;
– swinging and sliding gates or doors.
Examples are shown in Figure 101.
NOTE Z105 Drives may be supplied with a driven part.
NOTE Z106 Within the standard the terms drive and appliance are interchangeable.
This standard deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by drives that are encountered by all
persons in and around the installation place. However, in general, it does not take into account
– children playing with the appliance;
– the use of the appliance by very young children;
– the use of the appliance by young children without supervision.
It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this standard.
NOTE Z107 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national
authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
- 5 - EN 60335-2-103:2015
NOTE Z108 Attention is drawn to the fact that for drives for powered pedestrians doors used in emergency routes and
exits additional requirements as given in EN 16005 are applicable.
NOTE Z109 This standard does not apply to drives
– for vertically moving garage doors for residential use (EN 60335-2-95);
– for rolling shutters, awnings, blinds and similar equipment (EN 60335-2-97);
– for specific purposes, such as fire barrier doors;
– for doors on vehicles;
– for doors on lifts;
– for natural smoke exhaust ventilator not used as windows (EN 12101-2)
NOTE Z110 This standard does not apply to movement of a pedestrian door where such movement is based solely on
stored mechanical energy.
This European Standard does not deal with any specific requirements on noise emitted from these drives as
the generated noise is not considered to be a relevant hazard. Thus the emission sound pressure level L is
pA
≤70 dB(A).

Moving parts of drives intended to be installed at a height of at least 2,5 m above the ground or other access
level are considered to be positioned so to provide adequate protection against personal injury in normal use.
NOTE Z101 Stairs and terraces are examples of access levels. Surfaces not normally used for standing on, such as
window-sills, and movable equipment such as ladders, are not considered to be access levels.
Add the following new subclauses.
20.ZAA.1 Drives shall prevent vertically moving windows from closing unexpectedly.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
The drive is supplied at the most unfavourable voltage between 0,94 and 1,06 times rated voltage but is not
operated. Automatic operation of automatic drives is disabled. It is loaded with 1,2 times the rated load
applied for 30 min. If the drive is supplied with a window, the load is applied to the window and is equal to
the highest force exerted by it.
There shall be no movement except for initial removal of any play in the system.
If there is creepage in the drive, the window shall not move faster than 1mm/s.
NOTE ZAA.1 The highest force is determined with the window in the most unfavourable position, the drive not being
energized.
NOTE ZAA.2 It is to be noted that compliance with this clause does not necessarily cover risks due to operation of the
window, anti-drop or equivalent safety devices might be necessary.
The test is repeated with the power supply disconnected.
20.ZAA.2 Drives for windows shall operate so that the movement of the window is not likely to cause an
injury.
Compliance is checked as follows:
drives controlled by a biased-off switch, by the test of 20.ZAA.5;
drives incorporating an entrapment protection system, by the relevant tests of 20.ZAA.8 and 20.ZAA.9.
Other drives are subjected to the following test.
The drive is installed with a window and supplied at the most unfavourable voltage between 0,94 and 1,06
times rated voltage. The drive is adjusted for the highest opening and closing forces, if the adjustment is
mentioned in the instructions.
The drive is operated to open the window. The speed of the leading edge shall not exceed 50 mm/s.
When fully open, the gap shall not exceed 200 mm, unless the opening movement is controlled by a smoke
control system. The drive is then operated to close the window. The speed of the leading edge shall not
exceed 15 mm/s.
20.ZAA.3 A manual release or reversible drive shall be easy to operate. Operation of the release shall not
give rise to a hazard such as kickback or unexpected operation of the drive.
The drive shall not create any hazard when the manual release is activated.
Operation of a reversible drive used as a means for a manual release shall not give rise to a hazard.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
Automatic operation of automatic drives is disabled.
The drive is installed with a window and supplied at the most unfavourable voltage between 0,94 and 1,06
times rated voltage. The drive is adjusted for the highest opening and closing forces, if such adjustment is
mentioned in the instructions. The manual release is operated when the window has stopped at each terminal
position, in turn. The release or reversible drive shall be operable with a force not exceeding 220 N or a
torque not exceeding 1,6 Nm. The force is applied as stated in the instructions.
The test is repeated with the power supply interrupted.
When the manual release has been activated, the power supply is then restored and the drive activated. The
drive shall not move, or if the drive moves, all requirements of this standard shall be met.
20.ZAA.4 A mechanical fault in the drive shall not result in a hazardous operation.
Compliance is checked by inspection and, if necessary, by test.
The inspection shall evaluate which parts can affect the safety of operation and whether they are likely to
break or become loose. These parts may be part of the drive or used for connecting the drive to the window.
NOTE Examples of parts that are evaluated are screws, pins, shafts, wheels, chains and supporting parts.
If inspection cannot determine whether the drive will continue to operate normally or stop its movement when
the part has failed, the following test is carried out.
The drive is installed with a window, the force exerted by the drive being adjusted to its highest value in
accordance with the instructions. The drive is supplied at the most unfavourable voltage between 0,94 and
1,06 times rated voltage.
The faults are introduced one at a time and the drive is operated as in normal use.
Unless the drive and the window continue to operate normally, all of the following conditions shall be fulfilled:
the drive shall stop operating at least by the end of the cycle of movement;
further operation shall not be possible;
the speed of the window shall not increase by more than 20 %.
20.ZAA.5 Drives controlled by a biased-off switch shall stop when the actuating member of the actuator is
released.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
The drive is installed with a window and supplied at the most unfavourable voltage between 0,94 and 1,06
times rated voltage. It is operated to close the window.
When the actuating member of the switch is released, the leading edge of the window shall stop within a
distance of 20 mm.
The test is repeated during the opening movement of the window.
The requirement for the window to stop within the specified distance only applies if the closing force exerted
by the window exceeds 150 N, as measured in 20.ZAA.8.2.
20.ZAA.6 During the movement of the drive in either direction, the actuation of a manual control shall stop
the movement if there is no separate button for the stop function.
If the drive has a single button for controlling the movement, further actuation shall reverse the direction of
movement.
If the drive has three buttons for controlling the movement, one button shall be a stop button.
These requirements do not apply to controls affecting automatic modes of operation.
Any button that has a stop function shall not require a key to stop the drive.
- 15 - EN 60335-2-103:2015
Compliance is checked by a manual test.
NOTE The test may be carried out without a window.
20.ZAA.7 Drives shall not restart automatically after the movement has stopped unintentionally.
NOTE ZAA.1 Unintentional stopping may be caused by interruption of the power supply or by operation of a thermal cut-
out.
Compliance is checked by the following tests.
The drive is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. The supply is then interrupted.
After the supply is restored, the drive shall not restart automatically. However, automatic drives may re-start,
provided that they function as in normal use.
The drive is operated again and operation of the thermal cut-out is simulated. After the fault condition has
been removed, the drive shall not restart automatically. However, automatic drives may re-start, provided
that they function as in normal use.
NOTE ZAA.2 The test may be carried out without a window.
NOTE ZAA.3 Automatic drives are those that operate in at least one direction without deliberate activation.
20.ZAA.8 For drives incorporating an entrapment protection system with sensing devices that prevent the
window from coming into contact with a person, compliance is checked by the relevant tests specified in
20.ZAA.8.1.
NOTE ZAA.1 Obstacles used in the following tests are normally made of unplaned wood and painted white, but other
materials and colours may be used to simulate the most unfavourable conditions.
For drives incorporating an entrapment protection system that allows the window to contact a person,
compliance is checked by the relevant tests specified in 20.ZAA.8.2.
NOTE ZAA.2 In one direction of travel of the window, 20.ZAA.8.1 can be met and 20.ZAA.8.2 can be met in the
opposite direction of travel.
20.ZAA.8.1 The drive is installed with a window, the force exerted by the drive being adjusted to its highest
value in accordance with the instructions. The drive is supplied at the most unfavourable voltage between
0,94 and 1,06 times rated voltage.
For horizontally moving windows the test of 20.ZAA.8.1.1 is carried out.
For vertically moving windows the test of 20.ZAA.8.1.2 is carried out
20.ZAA.8.1.1 An obstacle having dimensions of approximately 25 mm × 100 mm × 300 mm, with three sides
(one in each dimension) being reflective (e.g. mirror, fine grained stainless steel, white gloss paint) and the
other three of dull black, painted rough wood, is placed at any place in the path of the leading edges and
planes of the window and in the most unfavourable dimension.
NOTE The leading edge is the edge of the window opposite to the hinge.
The drive is operated to close the window from the fully open position and from a 300 mm gap. If the
window moves, it shall stop or reverse its movement without contacting the obstacle.
20.ZAA.8.1.2 An obstacle having dimensions of approximately 25 mm × 100 mm × 300 mm is placed at any
place in the path of the leading edge along its 300 mm length across the window opening.
The drive is operated to close the window from heights of 100 mm, 1 000 mm and the fully open position of
the window. The window shall not move or shall only move in the opening direction.
20.ZAA.8.2 The drive is installed with a window. The force exerted by the drive is adjusted to the highest
value if the force can be adjusted by the user during use or user maintenance. Otherwise, the force should
be adjusted according to the installation instructions. The drive is supplied at the most unfavourable voltage
between 0,94 and 1,06 times rated voltage.
The drive is operated to close the window from the fully open position. The forces between the leading edge
and counter opposing edges shall not exceed:
150 N during the first 5 s after the force has exceeded 25 N;
25 N thereafter;
or
400 N during the first 0,75 s after the force has exceeded 150 N;
150 N during a further period of 4,25 s;
25 N thereafter.
However, after 0,75 s, peaks lower than 400 N will be accepted, if
they are decreasing from one to the other and
the period of oscillation is ≤ 1 s and
the average force calculated over the remaining period of 4,25 s is ≤ 150 N.
The force is measured by means of an instrument that incorporates a rigid plate having a diameter of 80 mm
and a spring having a ratio of 500 N/mm ± 50 N/mm. The spring acts on a sensing element that is connected
to an amplifier having a rise and fall time not exceeding 5 ms.
For vertically moving windows, the force is measured on the leading edge of the windows when the
dimension of the gap is 50 mm, 300 mm and 500 mm.
For vertically moving windows, the force is measured at the following locations:
in the centre of the leading edge and;
200 mm from each end of the leading edge if this edge is longer than 800 mm.
For horizontally moving windows, the force is measured on the leading edge of the window, at the following
heights, when the dimension of the gap is 50 mm and 500 mm:
50 mm;
300 mm from the top, for windows between 1,2 m and 2,5 m in height;
2 500 mm, for windows more than 2,8 m in height;
in the centre, for windows not more than 2,8 m in height.
20.ZAA.9 Entrapment protection systems shall provide an adequate level of protection in the event of a
failure within the system installation wiring.
The drive is installed with a window and supplied at rated voltage. The drive is operated to close the
window. During the movement, a short circuit or open circuit is simulated in the system installation wiring.
Unless the system continues to operate normally, the window shall stop moving within one cycle of operation
or the movement of the window shall only be controlled by a biased-off switch by the time it has completed
its movement.
