Building hardware - Mechatronic door furniture - Requirements and test methods

1.1   General
This document applies to Mechatronic door furniture (MDF) fitted on the door set which gives the possibility to control the locking and/or release part through an electronic authorization means. This can be operable by credentials (i.e. card, code, biometric).
The MDF according to this document is combined with locks according to EN 12209, EN 14846, prEN 15685 or may be a part of an emergency exit device according to EN 179, EN 1125 or EN 13637.
The MDF may be standalone or linkable to an external control system.
The document would allow classifying the MDF upon several characteristics such as category of use, durability, environmental, security, and type of operating device.
The suitability of the MDF for use on fire or smoke-door assemblies is determined by fire resistance tests conducted in addition to the performance testing specified by this document.
1.2   Exclusions
This document does not cover:
-   mechatronic cylinders according to EN 15684;
-   electromechanical operated locks and striking plates according to EN 14846.

Introduction
The development of building hardware to include electrically and electronic operations and control has
introduced a large number of products on the market.
For locks and door furniture, the range of electrical or electronic components to be fitted to existing
mechanical locks or door furniture to a complete Mechatronic Door Furniture (MDF) has increased.
Also, complete units with lock and door furniture in unique combination to MDF occur frequently.
Typically, MDF is installed directly on the door leaf and includes all functions like operating the follower
of the lock, reading and decoding the credential and power.
Following components and units are covered by this document.
Type A: Handle or knob operated door furniture with electrically operated actuator, reading unit for
credential and power supply to be combined with a mechanical operated lock where the lock meets
EN 12209 or EN 15685.
Type B: Handle or knob operated door furniture with reading unit for credential and power supply to be
combined with electrically operated locks where the lock meets EN 14846.
This document does not cover electrically operated locks or striking plates in combination with an access
control system not fitted on the door.
This document provides the MDF with requirements for:
— category of use to ensure the performance during its normal use;
— durability to ensure good performance during lifetime;
— specification for system management;
— suitability for use on fire resistant/smoke controlled doors;
— environmental resistance for good performance during lifetime in different environmental
conditions;
— security for different types of credentials;
— attack resistance to ensure use on Burglary resistant doors;
— product information to give summary of the performance.
The performance tests incorporated in this document are considered to be reproducible and as such will
provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these devices throughout CEN
Member States.
It is assumed that MDF will conform to the legal regulations i.e. RED – Radio Equipment Directive
2014/53/EU.
On occasion, there could be a need for additional functions within the design of the MDF. Purchasers
should convince themselves that the products are suitable for their intended use. This is particularly
important when the operation of such additional functions is safety-related. Accordingly, this document
includes assessment of such features when they are included in the MDF design.

with or below the surface of the backplate or rose after fitting. However, raised head screws may stand
proud of the furniture plate by the domed height of the screw head.
Any fastening element that secures the lever handle or knob to the spindle shall not project above the
surface by more than 1 mm after fitting.
The design of MDF shall ensure that, after fitting, it is not possible for the fingers of a user to be trapped
between lever handle or knob and backplate or rose over the full range of rotation of the lever handle or
knob.

4.7 Credential related security (7th character)
4.7.1 General
The MDF and its credentials for grade A to D shall have security against code manipulations, brute force
attacks, credential copying, code spying and code guessing regardless of the technique used.
The requirements for the credential related security vary with the different credential techniques used
for the MDF. Table 5 shows the requirements for RFID (radio frequency identification, active or passive),
PIN code, magnetic stripe and biometric techniques.
If the method of obtaining access to the MDF does not fall into any of these categories, the credential
related security grade shall be declared by analogy to the best comparable technique.
In the case where the MDF may be authorized by two of the techniques the grade for credential related
security depends on whether both techniques may be used alternatively to gain access or both techniques
are always used together to gain access. In the first case, the grade is the lower one of the grades of the
individual techniques, in the latter case the grade is one grade higher than the highest grade of the
individual technique, but not higher than the highest possible grade D.
Verified according to 6.7.
