European foreword
This document (EN 12453:2017/prA1:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33
“Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by
AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s).
1 Modification to Clause 1, Scope
Replace the 1st paragraph with the following:
“This document specifies requirements and test methods for the safety in use of power operated
industrial, commercial and garage doors, gates and barriers intended for installation in areas in the
reach of persons, and for which the main intended use is giving safe access for goods and vehicles
accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises.”.
2 Modifications to Clause 2, Normative references
a) Replace
“prEN 12604:2014, Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates — Mechanical aspects —
Requirements and test methods”
with
“EN 12604:2017, Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates — Mechanical aspects —
Requirements and test methods”.
b) Accordingly, replace in the whole document “prEN 12604:2014” with “EN 12604:2017”.
c) Delete reference "EN 12635:2002+A1:2008, Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates —
Installation and use" the reference in the text of which is overwritten by Modification 23 (7.1).
3 Modification to Clause 3, Terms and definitions
Replace term and definition 3.1 with the following:
”3.1
domestic garage door
door used on a domestic garage which is provided for one single household only and where the door
does not protrude into an area in reach of general public”.
4 Modifications to 4.1, General
c) Change NOTE 1 into normative text and replace NOTE 2 into NOTE.
d) Replace in the last indent “public access area” with “areas accessible by general public”.
EN 12453:2017/prA1:2019 (E)
e) Delete in last paragraph “used for one household only and which do not protrude onto a public
access area”.
5 Modification to 4.2.1, General
Replace the existing text with the following:
“A hazard exists:
— between the main closing edge of any door and an opposing edge, and between secondary closing
edges of hinged, folding, tilting and sliding doors and opposing edges;
— between closing edges and obstacles within the closing area of the leaf;
— between leaves passing each other;
— between leaves and the perimeter of openings in leaves and fixed parts in the vicinity;
Other surfaces, e.g. the ground, should be taken into consideration.
— at parts of the leaf which protrude;
— at moving parts of the drive or drive unit which are capable of causing injury;
— at gaps other than main closing gaps which vary in size and are accessible during the leaf
movement.
The hazard can be present during the initial impact, the period after the impact and persist because a
person can be held between the leaf and the surrounding fixed parts.
Hazards caused by reversed movement should also be taken into consideration.”.
6 Modification to 4.5.3, Hazards caused by imprisonment
Delete “,” after “escape”.
7 Modification to 5.1.1, General requirements
Replace the existing text with the following:
“Power operated doors shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction
measures of this clause, taking full account of the factors listed in 4.1. In addition, the machine shall be
designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for any hazards which are not dealt with by
this document.
Power operated doors shall additionally comply with the mechanical requirements of EN 12604 unless
otherwise specified.
Electrical equipment comprising the safety-related parts of the control system which are exposed to
outdoor conditions shall be at least IP44 according to EN 60529.”.
8 Modification to 5.1.2, Safety Function performed by control system
Replace the existing text with the following:
“The combined safety–related parts of a control system (SRP/CS) which perform the safety function
shall be at least PL “c” with the minimum of category 2 according to EN ISO 13849-1 subject to specific
EN 12453:2017/prA1:2019 (E)
exclusions made in this standard. The safety function shall be checked at the latest at one end position
of the door leaf.
The safety–related parts of a control system (SRP/CS), include the processing of the signal:
— from the sensing unit of the sensitive protective equipment to the Output Signal Switching Device
(OSSD) including the connection between the sensing unit and the drive unit;
— of travel limiting devices;
— of hold to run devices (the device itself need not meet category 2);
— of anti-drop devices (the device itself need not meet category 2);
— of slack cables detecting devices (the device itself need not meet category 2).
When mechanical systems are used in conjunction with other technologies EN ISO 13849-2 should be
taken into account.
Well-tried components can be used in SRP/CS for a safety-related application based on the application
of well-tried safety principles.
Components which do not meet category 2 need not be tested according to EN ISO 13849-1 when based
on well-tried safety principles.
