Vrata v industrijske in javne prostore ter garažna vrata - Varnost pri uporabi pogonskega mehanizma - Zahteve in preskusne metode (vključuje dopolnilo A1)
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in preskusne metode za varnost pri uporabi vrat oziroma zapornic s pogonskim mehanizmom, ki so namenjene za namestitev v območjih, kjer so na dosegu posameznikom, in katerih glavni predvideni namen uporabe je omogočanje varnega dostopa za blago in vozila v spremstvu ali upravljanju oseb v industrijskih, poslovnih ter stanovanjskih objektih.
Ta evropski standard zajema tudi vrata v javne prostore na električni pogon, ki se pomikajo navpično, kot so roloji in rešetke, ki se uporabljajo v maloprodajnih prostorih ter so namenjene predvsem za zaščito blaga.
Ta evropski standard opisuje vse večje nevarnosti, nevarne situacije in dogodke v zvezi z delovanjem vrat v industrijske in javne prostore ter garažnih vrat in zapornic, kadar se ti uporabljajo v skladu s svojim namenom in pod pogoji razumno predvidene nepravilne uporabe, kot je opredeljeno v točki 4.
Ta standard obravnava vse življenjske faze izdelkov, vključno s transportom, montažo, razstavljanjem, onemogočanjem in razrezom.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za:
– vodne zapornice in zapornice v dokih;
– vrata v dvigalih;
– vrata na vozilih;
– oklepna vrata;
– vrata, namenjena predvsem za zadrževanje živali, razen če so v območju lokacije;
– gledališke zavese iz tekstila;
– vodoravno premikajoča se vrata s pogonskim mehanizmom, namenjena predvsem za pešce;
– vrata na območjih izven dosega ljudi (npr. ograje portalnih žerjavov);
– železniške zapornice;

4 List of significant hazards
4.1 General
This Clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events identified by risk
assessment as significant for this type of machinery and which require action to eliminate or reduce the
risk.
!deleted text" A hazardous point is considered to exist up to a height of 2,5 m above the floor or any
other permanent access level.
!
NOTE " As the main function of a door is to open up or close off an opening, the actual movement of the
door can produce hazardous situations for persons, goods and vehicles in the vicinity which by nature cannot all
be avoided by design.
Annex F is giving the relationship between the hazards listed in this clause, the requirements given in
Clause 5 and the test methods described in Clause 6.
The use and the location of the door and the type of door control may influence the severity and
probability of risk created by power operated doors.
The severity and probability of risk increases when:
— general public, or infirm, or elderly, or children might come in contact with the moving door;
— there is no possibility to instruct, train or supervise the door users;
— access is not restricted to persons who are the only ones allowed to operate the door (authorized
persons);
— a high number of persons may come in contact with the door;
— degree of automation is high;
— door opens directly onto !areas accessible by general public;" !
— non-automatic operated domestic garage doors are used for one household only and protrude onto
a public area."
!Conversely, non-automatic operated domestic garage doors which do not protrude onto public area
are considered as doors with a reduced severity and probability of risk."
4.2 Hazards caused by crushing, shearing and drawing-in
4.2.1 General
!A hazard exists:
— between the main closing edge of any door and an opposing edge, and between secondary closing
edges of hinged, folding, tilting and sliding doors and opposing edges;
— between closing edges and obstacles within the closing area of the leaf;
— between leaves passing each other;
— between leaves (and the perimeter of openings in leaves) and fixed parts in the vicinity;
— at parts of the leaf which protrude;
— at moving parts of the drive or drive unit which are capable of causing injury;
— at gaps other than main closing gaps which vary in size and are accessible during the leaf
movement.
The hazard can be present during the initial impact, the period after the impact and persist because a
person can be held between the leaf and the surrounding fixed parts.
Hazards caused by reversed movement should also be taken into consideration."
4.2.2 !Hazards caused when persons can travel with the door"
If a person can travel with a power operated door, this can lead to foreseeable misuse which can create
a hazardous situation.
A person can travel on a door where a finger, hand or foot can gain hold on a door.
If vertically moving doors which can lift a person can lead to a dangerous situation, then a danger point
is considered to exist in the following locations:
— between leaves and fixed parts in the vicinity;
— in the neighbourhood of shafts or rising spindles of rolling doors.
4.2.3 Hazards caused by impact
Impact between the moving door and a person can be dangerous because of the impact force from the
door leaf.
4.3 Hazards caused by source of energy and power controls
The source of energy used by the drive or drive unit for power operation can create hazards such as:
— electric shock;
— fire from overheating;
— bursting, due to hydraulic or pneumatic over pressure;
— failure of electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic equipment, including safety devices such as protective
equipment, entrapment protection systems and control systems;
— unsafe restart after unintended power supply interruption.
4.4 Manual operation
When a power operated door shall be moved manually (e.g. in case of power supply failure), hazardous
situations can exist when:
— power operation can occur during manual operation;
— the manual operation handle or device is not properly shaped and/or located;
— the necessary manual effort is not related to the capability of the human body;
— kick-back can occur as a consequence of manual release operation.
4.5 Other hazards
4.5.1 General
In addition to the hazards described above, the following hazards which can occur due to particular site
requirements are likely to create dangerous situations.
4.5.2 Hazards caused by pass doors
When a pass door is fitted in the door leaf, the power operation of the door leaf whilst the pass door is
not in the safe position can lead to a hazardous situation.
4.5.3 Hazards caused by imprisonment
!The hazard of being held imprisoned can exist in areas between power operated doors or in rooms
where a power operated door is the only means of escape."
4.5.4 Hazards caused by trapping
The hazard of being trapped by the door can exist between the moving leaf and fixed parts such that
part of the body is held by the door preventing release.
4.5.5 Hazards caused by falling or ejected parts or uncontrolled movement
Hazards can exist if door leaves move in an uncontrolled or dangerous manner.
Hazards can exist if parts of a door are ejected during the movement.
When the door leaf of a power operated door can overrun its final positions, the leaf may then fall down,
thus creating a dangerous situation.
4.5.6 Hazards caused by the locking devices
Operation of the drive or drive unit before unlocking the locking device can result in a hazardous
situation, e.g. mechanical damage, derailment.
4.5.7 Hazards caused due to a loss of stability
Hazards can exist if the door and its components, including its fixings for attachment to the building and
fixing means of the door-leaf, are damaged or permanently deformed.
Hazards can exist if doors are subject to elastic deformations under operational forces or torques.
4.5.8 Hazards caused by glazing material
Hazards can exist if transparent elements in leaves do not remain secured and if they produce sharp
splinters, cutting edges or other dangerous parts in case of breaking.
4.5.9 Hazards caused by modification of settings
Hazards can exist if settings, e.g. for limiting forces, options for fitted protective devices, or connections
between protective devices and other parts of the safety control system, can easily be modified
5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
5.1.1 General requirements
!Power operated doors shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction
measures of this clause, taking full account of the factors listed in 4.1. In addition, the machine shall be
designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for any hazards which are not dealt with by
this document.
Power operated doors shall additionally comply with the mechanical requirements of
EN 12604:2017+A1:2020 unless otherwise specified.
Electrical equipment comprising the safety-related parts of the control system which are exposed to
outdoor conditions shall be at least IP44 according to EN 60529:1991 ."
5.1.2 Safety Function performed by control system
!The combined safety–related parts of a control system (SRP/CS) which perform the safety function
shall be at least PL “c” with the minimum of category 2 according to EN ISO 13849-1:2015 subject to
specific exclusions made in this standard. The safety function shall be checked at the latest at one end
position of the door leaf.
The safety–related parts of a control system (SRP/CS), include the processing of the signal:
— from the sensing unit of the sensitive protective equipment to the Output Signal Switching Device
(OSSD) including the connection between the sensing unit and the drive unit;
— of travel limiting devices;
— of hold to run devices (the device itself need not meet category 2);
— of anti-drop devices (the device itself need not meet category 2);
— of slack cables detecting devices (the device itself need not meet category 2).
When mechanical systems are used in conjunction with other technologies EN ISO 13849-2:2012
should be taken into account.
Well-tried components can be used in SRP/CS for a safety-related application based on the application
of well-tried safety principles.
As impacted by EN 60529:1991/AC:1993-05, EN 60529:1991/A1:2000, EN 60529:1991/A2:2013, EN
60529:1991/A2:2013/AC:2019-02 and EN 60529:1991/AC:2016-12.
Components which do not meet category 2 need not be tested according to EN ISO 13849-1:2015 when
based on well-tried safety principles.
Safety related parts of a control system which perform the safety function of electrical equipment in
compliance with the relevant requirements of EN 60335-2-95:2015 or EN 60335-2-103:2015 as
appropriate are considered to comply with the requirements of this subclause (5.1.2)."
5.1.3 Minimum level of safeguarding at the main closing edge
The type of safeguarding at the main closing edge of a power operated door shall be related to the
expected type of use.
Three different types of use are considered:
— Type 1: A limited group of persons are trained to use the door and the door is out of public area;
— Type 2: A limited group of persons are trained to use the door and the door is located in a public
area;
— Type 3: Any person is free to use the door and the door is in contact with the general public.
Persons can be considered as “trained” if the employer, the premises supervisor or the premises owner
has allowed them to use the door and has advised them how to use the door.
A group of persons can be considered to be “limited” if the group consists of identified employees of a
company, identified members of a family, or identified persons sharing a block of flats.
The minimum levels of safeguarding of the main edge related to the way the door is operated and to the
type of users, are listed in Table 1 according to the following abbreviations:
— A: Hold-to-run control mode of operation according to 5.2.1.5;
— B: Hold-to-run control mode of operation according to 5.2.1.5 with manual actuator equipped
