Note 1 to entry: Whenever the term “door” is used in this document, it is considered to cover the full range of
types of doors, gates and barriers addressed by this document.
3.1
door
assembly of parts and components
— without fire resistance and/or smoke control characteristics, or
— with fire resistance and smoke control characteristics (which give a fire resisting and/or smoke
control capability when used for the closing of permanent openings in fire resisting separating
elements, including e.g. any side panel(s), vision panel(s), flush over panel(s), transom panel(s)
and/or glazing together with the building hardware and any seals (whether provided for the
purpose of fire resistance or smoke control) which form the assembly),

in industrial, commercial or residential premises
Note 1 to entry: “gate” refers to such products used outside buildings, e.g. in boundaries, fences, etc.

transom panel(s) and/or glazing, building hardware and seals.
3.2
self-closing (for doors with fire resistance and smoke control only)
ability of an open door to close fully into its frame and engage any latching device that may be fitted,
without human intervention, by stored energy, or by mains power backed up by stored energy in case
of power failure
3.3
ability to release (for doors with fire resistance and smoke control only)
release of the hold-open device of a door to ensure reliable closing of the door from a defined position
3.4

Vertically moving doors shall be safeguarded in the event of failure of a single component in their
suspension (including gear drives) or balancing system against dropping or uncontrolled out-of-balance
movement.
4.1.2.3 Horizontally moving doors
Horizontally moving doors shall be safeguarded against dropping and/or derailment.
4.2 Water tightness
Water tightness is the capability of the door to resist water penetration when in closed position. Water
tightness is tested according to 5.2 and results are expressed as class as stated in Table 1.

4.3 Resistance to wind load
Wind load is the differential pressure between the two sides of the fully closed door.

result of class 1 for only a positive pressure and no result/failure with negative pressure).
b
Class 5 to be declared as e.g. “5 (1 450 Pa)”.
Calculations or tests shall also show that the door leaf will remain in position under a peak load
1,25 times greater than the reference wind load. Permanent deformations of door components are
allowed in this case.
Doors to be installed in a façade shall at least comply with class 2.
4.4 Thermal transmittance (resistance)
The thermal transmittance (resistance) indicates the amount of heat that is transferred from one face to
2
the other of the door when tested according to 5.4 and is expressed as U-value [W/m K].
