EN 12604:2017 (E) 5 Introduction This document has been prepared to meet the needs of manufacturers and users, with the primary purpose of providing design and performance for mechanical aspects of industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates used by vehicles accompanied or driven by persons. With the aim of clarifying the intention of this document and avoiding doubts when reading it, it was assumed that clarification occurred between all involved parties (manufacturer, professional installer, user, etc.) concerning: — components to be maintained and kept in good working order; — the intended use, the type of users and the place of use of the door; — all parts of door installations, whether fixed or moving, including the fixing and assembling means, to be in all respects of good construction, suitable material, adequate strength and free from obvious defects for their intended working life; — the design to be in accordance with European technical rules taking into account the most unfavourable
forces occurring during the operation and all failure modes. SIST EN 12604:2017



EN 12604:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies mechanical requirements and test methods for manually operated doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended use is giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises. This European Standard also covers manually operated vertically moving commercial doors such as rolling shutters and rolling grilles, used in retail premises which are mainly provided for goods protection. This document applies only to doors which are not part of the load carrying structure of the building. It does not apply to: — lock gates and dock gates; — doors on vehicles; — doors mainly for the retention of animals unless they are at the site perimeter; — doors intended for pedestrian use; — railway barriers. Whenever the term “door” is used in this document, it is deemed to cover the full scope of types and variances of doors, gates and barriers defined by the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 12604:2017 (E) 7 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12433-1, EN 12433-2 and EN 13241 apply. 4 Safety requirements and/or protective measures 4.1 General The number of full operational cycles for which the door is designed/constructed, shall take into account the planned maintenance and replacement of parts subject to wear and fatigue. 4.2 Design and construction 4.2.1 Operability The door and its components, including its fixing and assembling means as specified by the manufacturer for attachment to a building or structure, shall be designed so that elastic or permanent deformations under operational forces or torques which occur during normal use do not affect the operation and the safety of the door. The minimum safety factors for calculation purposes to be used for stress due to all loads for the design of the door are given in Table 1. Table 1 — Safety factors for materials for calculation purposes Safety factor for yield stress Safety factor for breaking stress 2,0 minimum 3,5 minimum For components where testing is carried out instead of calculation the safety factor before yield shall be 1,1. 4.2.2 Glazing Glazing elements in the door shall be so designed that they remain fully secured under normal operating conditions. In order to avoid occurrence of sharp splinters, cutting edges or other dangerous parts, the glazing material shall comply at least with the requirements of class 3 of EN 12600:2002 and the glazing material shall not break. Door leaves made primarily from glazing material shall be clearly recognizable, e.g. by visible separations, permanent marking, suitable labels or by using coloured materials. 4.3 Protection against unintentional and uncontrolled movements 4.3.1 Guides and end stops The guides (and where appropriate the door leaf as well as any other moving part of a door system) shall be designed and constructed in such a way that unintentional disengagement or derailment are prevented during normal operation, or in case of contact with a stationary obstacle, or in case of failure of a suspension element. SIST EN 12604:2017



EN 12604:2017 (E) 8 The movement of the door leaf shall be limited by end stops. Mechanical end stoppers in the terminal positions of the door movement shall withstand the energy developed by the possible impact of the door leaf. 4.3.2 Unintentional movements due to wind When relevant, the door shall incorporate means suitable to prevent movement of the door due to the influence of wind. These means shall be effective at the relevant terminal position(s). 4.3.3 Uncontrolled movements of vertically operating doors A vertically operating door leaf shall come to a stop and stay in position when released in any position during the opening or closing movement in normal operation. 4.3.4 Safeguarding against dropping of vertically operating door leaves Vertically operating door leaves shall be safeguarded against dropping when in normal use or when a failure of a single element of the suspension or balancing system occurs. The failure of the connection between drum and curtain of a rolling door shall also be taken into consideration if the door when in the fully closed position does not cover at least half of the circumference of the roller. The door shall not be able to close uncontrolled if a component fails. The design of the door shall also ensure that in case of a single failure the resulting short-term transient loads will not cause secondary mechanical failures of other elements of the door. Elements of the suspension or balancing system which could fail during operation of a door are balancing springs, counterweights, steel wire ropes, pulley, drums, chains, straps, belts and their attaching parts. Rigid parts such as shafts or levers, provided that they are dimensioned and designed for the maximum load and foreseeable overload,
