Foreword
This document (prEN 12445:2005) 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 12445:2000.
This document is part of a series of European Documents for industrial, commercial and garage doors and
gates that are identified in EN 13241-1.
This document is intended for use in conjunction with prEN 12453:2005. It contains the test methods needed
to evaluate conformity of doors and gates to the requirements of prEN 12453:2005.
Introduction
This document is a type C document as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in clause 1.
When provisions of this type C document are different from those which are stated in type A or B documents,
the provisions of this type C document take precedence over the provisions of the other documents, for
machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C document.
This product related document has been prepared to meet the needs of manufacturers, users and safety
enforcement authorities, with the primary purpose of providing design and performance for mechanical
aspects of industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates used by vehicles accompanied or driven by
persons.
With the aim of clarifying the intention of this document and avoiding doubts when reading it, it was assumed
when producing it that negotiation occurred between the manufacturer and the professional installer
concerning:
components to be kept in good repair or working order;
negotiation occurred between the manufacturer and the user concerning the specificity of the use and
place of use of the safety device;
all parts of door installations, whether fixed or moving, including the fixing and assembling means, to be in
all respects of good construction, suitable material, adequate strength and free from obvious defects for
their intended working life;
the design to be in accordance with European technical rules taking into account the most unfavourable
static and dynamic forces occurring during the operation and all failure modes.
1 Scope
This document specifies the test methods to be applied to a power operated door, gate or barrier to
demonstrate compliance with the requirements specified in prEN 12453:2005. In particular it specifies the
method of measuring the forces developed by a power operated door, gate or barrier.
It applies to any power operated door, gate or barrier covered by prEN 12453:2005.
This document does not apply to power operated doors, gates and barriers which are manufactured before
the date of publication of this document by CEN.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 1070, EN 12433-1,
EN 12433-2 and prEN 12453:2005 and the following apply.
NOTE Whenever the term “door” is used in this document, it shall be deemed to cover the full scope of types and
variances of doors, gates and barriers defined in EN 12433-1.
3.1
measuring point
specified point where measurements of force are made
3.2
direction of measurement
specified direction in which measurements of force are made
3.3
opening gap
clear distance between the main closing edge and the opposing closing edge or between the leaf and
neighbouring hard parts of the surroundings
4 Test method
The level of safeguarding of a power operated door, in respect of the requirements specified in
prEN 12453:2005, shall be determined by the following tests and/or inspections.
Non automatic one single household vertically moving domestic garage doors, excluding those which open
onto public areas, may be excluded if these doors are driven by drives which fulfil the requirements of
EN 60335-2-95.
4.1 General
4.1.1 Avoiding or safeguarding against crushing, shearing and drawing-in points
Any crushing, shearing or drawing-in location shall be identified from a test specimen. For any identified
hazardous location, a check shall be made to establish whether the hazard has been avoided or safeguarded.
This check shall be done as follows:
4.1.1.1 Safety distance
When a crushing, shearing or drawing-in point is avoided by the provision of a safety distance, this distance
shall be checked by inspection and measuring, taking into consideration the endangered parts of the human
body.
4.1.1.2 Force limitation
When a crushing, shearing or drawing-in hazard is avoided by the provision of a force limitation system, this
shall be checked
by measuring the forces as specified in clause 5. The measured values shall be lower or equal to those
mentioned in Annex A of prEN 12453:2005.
and
by the following tests and inspections.
4.1.1.2.1 Crushing point
For any crushing point where the limitation of forces is achieved through force limiting devices or by devices
for limitation of torque, electrical power, or pneumatic/hydraulic pressure, it shall be checked that these
devices are properly designed by
testing them according to EN 12978
and
testing them against the single fault failure criteria as specified in clause 6.
4.1.1.2.2 Shearing point
For any shearing point which occurs at secondary closing edges, it shall be checked that
forces exerted by the door leaf are limited to less than 150 N static and to less than 400 N dynamic, when
measured according to clause 5
and
either a distance of at least 25 mm has been provided between passing edges or the passing edges have
been provided with round edges with a radius of at least 2 mm for each edge and a combined value (sum
of the 2 radii) of at least 6 mm has not been exceeded.
4.1.1.3 Shaping of leaf surfaces
It shall be checked by inspection that the door leaf has no sharp edges, and that any part which protrudes
shall cause no injury.
4.1.1.4 Hold-to-run-control
When a door is operated via “Hold-to-run” control, it shall be checked
by measurement that the door leaf stops when the manual control device is released, within the specified
overrun distance and maximum static force as specified in prEN 12453:2005, 5.1.1.4;
by inspection that it is specified in the installation and user instructions that no manual controls other than
hold to run control are to be installed and/or used;
by inspection that when installed and operated in accordance with the installation and user instructions,
the person controlling the door shall be in full view of the door and in the vicinity of the door during the
leaf movement and shall not be in a hazardous position;
by measurement that the speed of the primary edge is <0,5 m/s. This speed shall be measured at the
same points as those specified for force measurement for the type of door concerned (see clause 5).
4.1.1.5 Guard
When guards such as enclosures, covers, enclosing guards or fixed protective leaves (screens) etc. are
installed, it shall be checked by inspection that
the danger points are safeguarded up to a height of 2,5 m above the floor to ensure that unprotected
zones of the danger points do not remain,
they are firm and resilient in respect of their safety-related function,
they can be loosened only by use of a
