4.2.1.1 Verification of operation
It shall be verified that:
a) there is at least 7 mm engagement of the locking elements before the electric safety device operates;
b) it is not possible to operate the lift from positions normally accessible to persons with a door open
or unlocked, after one single action not forming part of the normal operation.
4.2.1.2 Mechanical tests
4.2.1.2.1 General
When there are several possible means of control and positions of operation, the endurance test shall
be made in the arrangement which is regarded as the most stressed condition from the point of view of
the forces on the components.
The number of complete cycles of operation and the travel of the locking components shall be registered
by mechanical or electrical counters.
4.2.1.2.2 Endurance test
The locking device shall be submitted to 1 000 000 (±1 %) complete cycles; one cycle comprises one
forward and return movement over the full travel possible in both directions.
The driving of the device shall be smooth, without shocks, and at a rate of 60 (±10 %) cycles per minute.
oSIST prEN ISO 8100-2:2024
ISO/DIS 8100-2:2023(E)
During the endurance test, the electrical contact of the lock shall close a resistive circuit under the
rated voltage and at a current value double that of the rated current.
If the locking device is provided with a mechanical checking device for the locking pin or the position of
the locking element, this device shall be submitted to an endurance test of 100 000 (±1 %) cycles.
The driving of the device shall be smooth, without shocks, and at a rate of 60 (±10 %) cycles per minute.
4.2.1.2.3 Static test
The test shall be made consisting of the application of a force, increasing gradually to the value laid
down in the standard calling for the use of this standard (e.g. ISO 8100-1:2023, 4.3.9.1.6) between 30 s
to 60 s. The force shall be applied for a period of 300 s.
4.2.1.2.4 Dynamic test
The locking device, in the locked position, shall be submitted to a shock test in the opening direction of
the door.
The shock shall correspond to the impact of a rigid mass of 4 kg falling in free fall from a height of
0,50 m.
4.2.1.3 Criteria for the mechanical tests

The locking force limiter according to ISO 8100-1:2023, 4.3.9.1.12 f) shall be tested on an operationally
constructed door by pushing open the door panels with a steadily increasing force until the locking
force limiter releases the flap. The force is applied according to ISO 8100-1:2023, 4.3.9.1.12 f). The flap
shall not release before the force exceeds the force according to ISO 8100-1:2023, 4.3.9.1.12 f).
The test shall be carried out on a door with the largest width.
In the case of elements to limit the load on the flap that are triggered via a predetermined breaking
point, the locked door shall be force-opened at least three times, each time with renewed trigger
elements. In the case of non-destructive release elements, a limited endurance test with at least 50
force openings is required.
There shall be no permanent deformation or breakage on the locking device after the test.
