European foreword
This document (prEN 12978:2017) 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 12978:2003+A1:2009.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
Compared with EN 12978:2003+A1:2009, the following changes have been made:
a) revision according to the requirements of EN ISO 12100:2010 (safety of machines);
b) deletion of requirements which are covered by EN 12453 for the safe function of the combination of
safety device and industrial, commercial and garage doors, so that only basic requirements of safety
devices are covered by this document;
c) modification of the definition of test pieces and test procedures for light curtains and barriers.

Introduction
This document is a type C document as stated in EN 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
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 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 safety in use of power
operated industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates used by vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
With the aim of clarifying the intention of this document and avoiding doubts when reading it, it was
assumed when producing it that clarification occurred between all involved parties (manufacturer,
professional installer, user etc.) concerning:
— components to be kept in good repair or working order;
— intended use, the users and place of use of the door;
— 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 forces occurring during the operation and all failure modes.
