DIN EN 1125 for panic devices

DIN EN 1125 – Area of application

Area of application

For doors in escape routes where panic situations might arise. The exits and their hardware are not familiar to everyone (e.g. exit doors on public buildings).

 

Panic situation

A panic situation can arise when many people have to evacuate a building in a life-threatening situation. Thick smoke, darkness and the presence of people
not familiar with the surroundings are important factors. A typical example is a fire in a cinema.

 

Permitted hardware

Horizontal push or touch bars, which cover the width of the door.

 

Important information

The push or touch bar and the lock must always be tested and certified together. It is absolutely essential to adhere to national regulations.
