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 minimum 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.
7

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST EN 12604:2017+A1:2021
EN 12604:2017+A1:2020 (E)
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, need not be considered as a potential cause of the suspension or
balancing system failure.
Safeguarding against dropping can be achieved by either using an anti-drop safety device or by other
design features incorporated into the door. Safeguarding against dropping shall fulfil the following
requirements:
a) in the event of a failure in the door suspension or balancing system, the main edge of the door leaf
shall not move downwards more than 300 mm even in case of bouncing;
b) after the door leaf has been stopped by the anti-drop safeguarding, it shall be held safely in the
same position, as long as no further action in accordance with the user instructions is carried out.
User instructions shall clearly specify when a competent person is needed to further operate the
stopped door;
c) the anti-drop safeguarding shall be automatically activated in the event of a suspension or
balancing system failure;
d) an anti-drop safeguarding shall be designed to take the full dynamic load of the door leaf;
e) further, any component affected by the action of the anti-drop safeguarding shall be designed to
bear the resulting dynamic forces;
f) parts of the anti-drop safeguarding or other door components may need to be replaced after
activation of the anti-drop safeguarding. Unless activation of the anti-drop safeguarding does not
cause any deformation and/or damage which impairs further operation of the door and of the anti-
drop safeguarding, instructions for use shall specify parts to be replaced and whether the
replacement can be carried out by the user.

SIST EN 12604:2017+A1:2021
EN 12604:2017+A1:2020 (E)
The requirements of this paragraph can be disregarded if the following two requirements are
simultaneously fulfilled:
— the maximum out-of-balance of the door leaf static force occurring at the primary closing edge of
the door does not exceed 200 N when there is a suspension or balancing component failure;
and
— the failed component is clearly visible or detectable during normal operation of the door.
4.3.5 Safeguarding against dropping of hinged doors
Hinged door leaves shall be safeguarded against dropping when in normal use or when a failure of a
single element of the fixing system occurs. The door leaf shall not be able to move uncontrolled if a
component fails.
In case a hinge or other supporting means breaks or is damaged, the anti-drop safety device shall be
able to keep the leaf in position with a maximum displacement of 300 mm from the rotation axis.
The door shall also be fitted with a device which avoids that the door leaf, during the opening or closing
movement, can be lifted more than 50 % of the length of the pin of the hinges or any other supporting
means (“anti-lifting” device).
4.4 Forces for manual operation
A door shall be able to open or close with a force not exceeding 150 N for doors for residential use and
260 N per person for industrial/commercial use, wind or other environmental factors not being
considered. These forces can be exceeded to start the movement.
4.5 Devices for manual operation
Doors shall be fitted with suitable devices, such as handles or pull cords, on the inner and outer sides of
the door to enable them to be moved, unless the basic design affords sufficient safe hand-hold. If a door
is only operated from one side, it is acceptable that only that side is equipped with such devices.
4.6 Finger protection
Gaps, other than between the main closing edge and the secondary edge, in which the distance between
door leaf components is reduced during the leaf movement and where the test probe B of
EN 61032:1998 can be inserted shall be eliminated or safeguarded up to a height of 2,5 m above floor
level or other permanent access level.
Sharp edges shall be eliminated or safeguarded to avoid the risk of cutting when operating the door.
Edges with radius of at least 2 mm and, for combined radius (sum of the 2 radii), of at least 6 mm (e.g. at
least 2 mm + 4 mm or 3 mm + 3 mm) are considered to be safe.
If during normal use of the door the gap created within single coils of springs is greater than 8 mm, the
path of those springs shall be safeguarded up to 2,5 m above floor level or any other permanent access
level.
4.7 Specific requirements for parts used in suspension and balancing systems
4.7.1 General
Commonly used parts in suspension and balancing systems are balancing springs, counterweights, steel
wire ropes, pulley, drums, chains, straps and belts.

4.7.2 Springs
Springs shall be so arranged that one spring cannot cause faulty operation of another. Precautions shall
be taken to prevent ejection of springs or spring coils in case of breaking.
4.7.3 Counterweights
The path of counterbalancing weights shall be safeguarded up to 2,5 m above floor level or any other
permanent access level. If counterweights are fully beyond their covering during any part of the door
operation, the guide shall ensure their re-entry into their covers again. In this case counterweights shall
be prevented from breaking using appropriate material and/or construction.
Where more than one rope is fastened to one counterweight they shall be individually fixed to the
counterweight.
4.7.4 Steel wire ropes, chains, straps
4.7.4.1 General
!Where necessary for safety (e.g. to avoid excess wear and premature failure of means of suspension)
means shall provide for, and the maintenance of, the correct alignment of sprockets and pulleys with
their associated chains, rope or straps. This shall include the security of fixings to shafts on which
sprockets and pulleys are mounted, and means necessary to prevent lateral displacement of the shaft
itself. Information on how to achieve on installation, and maintain, such alignment shall be provided."
When vertically operating doors have steel wire ropes, chains, straps connected directly to the door
leaf, a minimum of two independent steel wire ropes, chains, straps shall be used.
Where two or more steel wire ropes, chains, straps are used, it shall be ensured that, in normal working
conditions, the loads are shared in a pre-determined way.
The guaranteed minimum breaking strength of such steel wire ropes, chains, straps shall be confirmed
by a technical documentation/declaration or certificate from the supplier/manufacturer of these
elements.
These types of steel wire ropes, chains, straps shall be so arranged that they can be inspected over their
full length eventually after removal of covers.
Drawing in points of steel wire ropes, chains, straps that can be reached in normal operation shall be
safeguarded up to a height of 2,5 m above floor level or another permanent level.
4.7.4.2 Steel wire ropes, pulleys and drums
Steel wire rope shall be made in accordance with EN 12385-4.
Each steel wire rope shall have a safety factor not smaller than 6 (minimum guaranteed breaking
strength in relation to the static load of one rope).
Steel wire rope pulleys and drums shall have a pitch circle diameter measured at the centre of the rope
(P.C.D.) at least equal to 18 times the rope diameter unless a smaller P.C.D. is declared by the steel wire
rope load carrying manufacturer.
Steel wire rope drums shall be grooved.
Terminations other than spliced terminations in accordance with EN 13411-2, or ferule secured eyes in
accordance with EN 13411-3 or wedge socket devices in accordance with EN 13411-6, shall have a
breaking load giving a safety factor not less than 6, or a minimum of two full turns of steel wire rope are
left on the drum in the terminal position.
