Description of BS EN 16361:2013+A1:2016 2016

This European Standard specifies requirements and test/assessment/calculation methods for external and internal power operated pedestrian doorsets, other than swing type, initially designed for installation with power operation deleted text.

Such doorset constructions may be operated electro-mechanically, electro-hydraulically or pneumatically.

These doorsets include power operated pedestrian sliding doorsets, revolving doorsets, balanced (sliding/swing) doorsets and folding doorsets with one or more horizontally moving leaves.

This European Standard applies to power operated pedestrian doorsets with flush or panelled leaves, complete with:

• integral fanlights, if any;

• side panels that are contained within a single frame for inclusion in a single aperture, if any.

The intended uses of the products covered by this European Standard are:

• doorsets for external use in escape routes and other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise, energy, tightness and safety-in-use in construction works;

• doorsets for internal use in escape routes, communication and other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise and safety-in-use in construction works;

• doorsets for internal use in escape routes, communication and other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise, energy and safety-in-use in construction works.

The products covered by this European Standard are not assessed for structural applications of the building.

This European Standard does not cover operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000‑6‑2 .

This European Standard does not apply to:

• external pedestrian doorsets according to EN 14351‑1 ;

• internal pedestrian doorsets according to prEN 14351‑2 ;

• fire resistance and/or smoke control characteristics according to EN 16034 ;

deleted text

• lifts doorsets;

• vehicles doorsets;

• doorsets used in industrial processes;

• doorsets in partition walls;

• doorsets outside the reach of people (such as crane gantry fences);

• turnstiles;

• platform doorsets.

This European Standard does not cover special functions of doorsets (e.g. security, fire aspects in banks, airports, etc.).

This European Standard does not deal with any specific requirements on noise emitted from power operated doorsets, other than swing type, initially designed for installation with power operation deleted text as their noise emission is not considered to be a relevant hazard.
