In the field of building safety and security, adherence to standards is paramount. One such standard is EN 13637:2015, a guideline crafted by the CEN (The European standards organisation) and subsequently adopted by BSI as a British Standard. EN 13637 pertains to electrically controlled exit systems, offering additional options for security and delayed exit, which play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of building occupants.

Do doors, gates and traffic barriers need safe edges?

No, but all reachable moving parts hazards must be protected.

Standards require that any system not operated in hold-to-run mode must have accessible moving parts hazards protected either by limiting the exerted force or providing a non-contact solution. A safe edge is one way of providing force limitation, the other equally viable method for some crush and impact hazards is inherent force limitation, where the drive unit can sense an obstruction and retract the moving leaf before crush or impact force becomes too high.

A professional gate installation makes a vital contribution to your business or domestic protection, ensuring the user can be protected from hazards arising from the gate installation.

As well as minimising the chances of injury, a safe gate installation also reduces the user’s liability in case of any unforeseen incident.
