M/101_126_AM1 - Doors and Windows
First amendment to mandates M/101 and M/126 to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work on construction products intended to be used for external and internal doors and windows, (including fire doors and shutters)
This amendment modifies mandates M/101 and M/126 addressed to CEN and CENELEC, focusing on the standardisation of construction products used for external and internal doors and windows, including fire doors and shutters. It authorizes the execution of relevant standardisation work to ensure product safety, performance, and regulatory compliance within the EU construction sector. The amendment was considered under resolution CEN/BT C30/2013 and pertains to the approval or disapproval of the updated mandate content.
Purpose
The amendment to mandates M/101 and M/126 aims to update the scope and execution of standardisation work related to construction products used for external and internal doors and windows. This includes addressing specific product types such as fire doors and shutters. The update ensures that the standardisation activities remain aligned with technical and regulatory developments within the construction sector.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests CEN and CENELEC to carry out the necessary standardisation work on construction products concerning both external and internal doors and windows. This encompasses a broad range of related products with a focus on harmonising standards to support safety, performance, and interoperability requirements. The inclusion of fire doors and shutters indicates particular attention to fire safety and security aspects within the standardisation process.
Expected deliverables
Expected deliverables include updated or newly developed European standards for doors and windows used in construction, covering functionality, safety (including fire resistance), durability, and quality criteria. These standards will facilitate regulatory compliance, market access, and the mutual recognition of conformity assessments for these products throughout the European Union.
Context
This amendment reflects an ongoing process to maintain and refine European standardisation mandates within the construction products sector. It follows earlier mandates M/101 and M/126 and responds to evolving market, technical, and regulatory needs. The decision to approve or disapprove this amendment was referenced in the resolution CEN/BT C30/2013, demonstrating a formal governance step within the CEN and CENELEC organisational framework.
This mandate covers the standardisation work on construction products intended for external and internal doors and windows, including fire doors and shutters, within the construction sector.
General Information
This document specifies requirements and test/assessment/calculation methods for power operated pedestrian doorsets, other than swing type, initially designed for installation with power operation.
Such doorset constructions can 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 document applies to power operated pedestrian doorsets with flush or panelled leaves, complete with:
— integral fanlights, if any;
NOTE 1 A fanlight is a panel over a door, which is part of the doorset.
— 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 document are:
— doorsets with or without fire resistance and smoke control characteristics for external use in escape routes and other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise, energy and tightness in construction works;
— doorsets with or without fire resistance and smoke control characteristics for internal use in escape routes, communication and other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise in construction works;
— doorsets with or without fire resistance and smoke control characteristics for internal use in escape routes, communication and other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise and energy in construction works.
The products covered by this document are not assessed for structural applications of the building.
This document does not cover operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000-6-2.
This document does not apply to:
— external pedestrian doorsets according to EN 14351-1;
— internal pedestrian doorsets according to EN 14351-2;
— lifts doorsets;
— vehicles doorsets;
— doorsets used in industrial processes;
— doorsets in partition walls;
— doorsets outside the reach of people (such as crane gantry fences);
— pedestrian entrance control equipment such as turnstiles, swing lanes and retractable lanes;
— platform doorsets.
This document does not cover special functions of doorsets (e.g. security).

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/101_126_AM1 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "First amendment to mandates M/101 and M/126 to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work on construction products intended to be used for external and internal doors and windows, (including fire doors and shutters)". First amendment to mandates M/101 and M/126 to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work on construction products intended to be used for external and internal doors and windows, (including fire doors and shutters) There are 2 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
