Overview

EN 1527:2019+A1:2021 - "Building hardware: Hardware for sliding doors and folding doors - Requirements and test methods" is a CEN European standard that defines performance requirements and test methods for fittings and tracks used in manual sliding doors, sliding corner doors, bi‑fold and multi‑panel folding doors. The standard covers door gear for industrial, commercial and residential applications and focuses on the hardware only (excluding doors and panels). It includes Amendment A1 (2021) and is referenced by national bodies across Europe.

Key Topics

• Scope and exclusions
  • Applies to fittings and track for sliding and folding doors (top hangers, top tracks, bottom rollers, pivots, hinges, guides, stops, damping devices, etc.).
  • Excludes rollers for horizontal sliding and building hardware for certain window types covered by EN 13126‑15/16/17.
• Test methods included
  • Durability / cycle tests (defined test cycles and grades up to 100,000 cycles).
  • Static load and horizontal static load tests to verify structural strength.
  • Initial friction measurement to limit operating force required to move panels.
  • Corrosion resistance testing referenced to EN 1670.
  • Slam test for impact resistance.
• Classification system
  • Nine‑digit code covering: door category, door mass, test panel size, corrosion class, slam resistance, horizontal static load, static load, initial friction limit, and durability grade.
  • Durability grades include: 5,000; 10,000; 25,000; 50,000; 75,000; 100,000 cycles.
  • Example classification from the standard: "1 2 2 0 2 3 1 2 6" (explains a sliding door with specific mass, panel size, test results and 100,000 cycle durability).
• Conformity and marking
  • Requirements for manufacturer obligations, interchangeability of components, marking and documentation to support specification and installation.

Applications

• Useful for manufacturers of sliding and folding door hardware who need to design, test and certify products to European performance levels.
• Used by specifiers, architects, façade and door system designers to select appropriate hardware for industrial, commercial and residential projects.
• Relevant to testing laboratories and certification bodies performing durability, load and corrosion tests.
• Helpful to installers and maintenance teams to understand expected operating forces, durability and corrosion classes for product selection and lifecycle planning.

Related Standards

• EN 1670 - Building hardware: Corrosion resistance - requirements and test methods (referenced for corrosion classes).
• EN 13126‑15 / EN 13126‑16 / EN 13126‑17 - Building hardware for certain window sliding/tilt & slide types (not covered by EN 1527).

4 Classification
4.1 General
For the purposes of this document, sliding doors and folding doors and their building hardware shall be
classified according to the nine digit coding system described in 4.2 to 4.10.
4.2 Category of door (1st digit)
Three grades are identified for door category:
— grade 1 = sliding door;
— grade 2 = folding door (bi-fold type) and sliding corner door;
— grade 3 = multi-panel folding door (see Figure 8) and sliding door for cantilever gates.
4.3 Door mass (2nd digit)
Four grades are identified for door mass:
— grade 1 = door ≤ 50 kg;
— grade 2 = door > 50 kg;
— grade 3 = door > 100 kg;
— grade 4 = door > 200 kg.
4.4 Size of Test Panel Used (3rd digit)
4.4.1 General
!Five" grades are identified for door panel size:
4.4.2 !For sliding doors and cantilever gates
— grade 0 = cantilever gate. The test panel size shall be 4,5 m wide and 2 m height;
— grade 2 = the test panel size shall be 2 m high by 0,80 m wide;
— grade 4 = the test panel size shall be 2 m high by 2 m wide."
4.4.3 For sliding corner doors and folding doors of the bi-fold type and multi-panel folding
doors
— grade 1 = the test panels size shall be 2 m high by 0,50 m wide;
— grade 2 = the test panel size shall be 2 m high by 0,80 m wide;
— grade 3 = the test panels size shall be 2 m high by 1,00 m wide;

4.11 Example of classification
1 2 2 0 2 3 1 2 6
This denotes a sliding door with a mass between 51 kg and 100 kg and a panel size of 2 m high and 0,8 m
wide and not tested for corrosion resistance, of which slam test resistance is 3 kg, horizontal static load

100 000 cycles.
5 Requirements
5.1 Criteria for assessing performances
Performance and finishing requirements for sliding doors and folding door fittings shall be assessed
according to:
— overload resistance capacity;
— static load capacity;
— effort required to overcome initial friction;
— durability of fittings;
— corrosion resistance.
A sample tested according to this document is considered acceptable if it meets the performance
requirements stated in this document.
5.2 General
The door leaf shall satisfy the following requirements for:
— Overload test: slam test, pull-out test, horizontal static load test, static load test (two times rating of
the hangers or bottom rollers);
NOTE Cantilever gate are not concerned by static load test.
— Initial friction test: mass of the door shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications for
hangers or bottom rollers;
— Durability test: mass of the door shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications for
hangers
