Details about the EN 16005 standard
The EN 16005 is a European standard that ensures the safe use of automatic doors. It applies to automatic doors designed for regular access, emergency escape routes, and fire- or smoke-resistant applications. The standard covers revolving doors, sliding doors, folding doors, and horizontally moving carousel doors, all of which must comply with EN 16005. Introduced in April 2013, this standard is mandatory in all countries that are members of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).
EN 16005 specifies safety requirements and mandates regular maintenance to ensure ongoing compliance. Adhering to this standard is essential, as failure to do so could result in liability for accidents. Boon Edam doors are fully compliant with the EN 16005 standard, and we provide professional maintenance services to guarantee their safe and reliable operation.
