Standards

This European standard specifies requirements for single-axis hinges for windows and doors opening in one direction only, whose rotation axis is no more than 30 mm from the face of the sash or door. It covers both fixed pin and lift-off hinges and contains additional requirements for hinges intended for use on fire doors.

Providing details on product types, classification by use, test cycles, door mass, corrosion resistance, as well as definitions, product performance requirements, test apparatus, test methods and marking of products.

This European standard specifies requirements for separate hold-open devices and also for hold-open mechanisms incorporated in a door closer. Electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors manufactured according to this European standard can hold a swing door at a fixed position or can allow the door to swing freely. In each case interruption of the electrical supply will cause the controlled door to close positively.

This European standard specifies requirements for both separately mounted devices and mechanisms incorporated in door closers. There are additional requirements for devices for use on fire/smoke door assemblies.

This standard specifies requirements and test methods for the durability, strength, security, and function of mechanically operated locks and latches and their locking plates for use in doors, window doors, and entrance doors in buildings. The ARRONE range of locks has been successfully type tested to all the requirements of BS EN 12209:2016. The classification achieved is given for each lock separately.

This European standard on cylinders for locks applies to cylinders and the locks they use. Using an 8-digit coding system each digit refers to a particular feature of the product measured against the standard’s performance requirements.

The main purpose of the performance requirements of this standard is to give safe and effective escape through a doorway with minimum effort and without prior knowledge of the device i.e. for locked doors on escape routes where panic situations can be foreseen. It classifies panic exit devices by using a 10-digit coding system, each digit referring to a particular feature of the product measured against the standard’s performance requirement. BS EN 1125:2008 applies to type A (push bar panic bolts) and type B (touch bar panic bolts).

This standard covers the devices to be used in emergency situations where people are familiar with the emergency exit and its hardware and therefore a panic situation is most unlikely to develop. Lever handle operated escape locks or push pads may therefore be used. BS EN 179 applies to type A (lever handle operated emergency devices) and type B (push pad operated emergency devices).

Fire-resisting doors serve three main purposes in a building; to restrict the initial development of fire; to restrict the spread of a fire; to protect escape routes. Under BS EN 1634-1 test regimes, a door withstands fire attack for a period of time, for example 36 minutes or 67 minutes, and for the purposes of regulations is then described as E30, E60, etc. (BS EN 1634-1).

BS EN 1906 classifies door furniture by using an 8-digit coding system. A similar classification applies to all building hardware product standards so that complementary items of hardware can be specified to, for instance, a common level of corrosion resistance, category of use, etc. Each digit refers to a particular feature of the product measured against the standard’s performance requirements.

This British standard explains how the built environment can be designed to anticipate and overcome restrictions that prevent disabled people from making full use of premises and their surroundings.

BS EN 12320:2012 classifies padlocks and padlock fittings by using a 7-digit coding system. A similar classification applies to all building hardware product standards so that complementary items of hardware can be specified to, for instance, a common level of corrosion resistance, category of use, etc. Each digit refers to a particular feature of the product measured against the standard’s performance requirements.

This British Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods for a thief-resistant, mechanically operated single-point lock assembly (including locking plates, fixing screws, fitting instructions, cylinders, and protective furniture where appropriate) that: a) incorporates a lock conforming to BS EN 12209 that can be unlocked from the inside without a key thereby only allowing keyless egress, and b) is used in doors, windows doors and entrance doors in buildings.

This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for durability strength and function of mechanically operated push button locksets and their locking plates for use on doors, window doors, and entrance doors in buildings.
