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.

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

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 th
