European foreword
This document (prEN 12209:2019) 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 will supersede EN 12209:2016.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports basic work requirements of
EU Regulation(s).
For relationship with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral
part of this document.
This document is one of a series of European Standards dedicated to building hardware products.
European Standards for electromechanically operated locks and locking plates (EN 14846) and for
mechanically operated multi-point locks (prEN 15685) are also available.
The performance tests incorporated in this document are considered to be reproducible and as such
provide a consistent and objective assessment of the performance of these products for all CEN
Members.
The major changes in this revision from version 2016 are as follows:
• Introduction deleted;
• Clause 4 changed from requirements to characteristics;
• Figures clarified;
• Durability grades changed from threshold value to range;
• Annex A moved to subclauses 4.5, 5.8 and 7.2.4;
• The previous Annex B is now modified in the new Annex A;
• The previous Annex C is now modified in the new Annex B;
• Annex ZA is updated based on the agreed CEN template.
Changes from version 2004 to version 2016 related to essential characteristics:
• The following clauses were re-numbered without any change of performance:
o Self closing ability changed to Self closing – ability to close and keep the door in closed position;
▪ Return force of latch bolt, from 5.1.2 to 4.1.3;
▪ Closing force, from 5.4.2 to 4.4.2 Door closing force;
o Durability of self closing action changed to Durability of self closing against aging and degradation;
oSIST prEN 12209:2019
prEN 12209:2019 (E)
▪ Durability of latch action, from 5.3.1 to 4.3.1;
o Ability to maintain door in closed position and not contribute the spread of fire changed to
Sustainability for use on fire resistance and/or smoke control door set;
▪ Suitability for use on fire/smoke doors, from 5.5 to 4.5 Sustainability for use on fire resistance
and/or smoke control door set;
o Control of dangerous substances changed to Dangerous substances;
▪ Dangerous substances, from 5.1.1 to 4.1.2.

1 Scope
This document specifies product characteristics and test methods of mechanically operated locks and
their locking plates:
a) for use in doors in buildings;
b) for use on fire and smoke compartmentation doors fitted with door closing devices, to enable such
doors to close reliably and thus achieve self-closing in the event of fire;
c) for use on locked fire doors to maintain the fire integrity of the door assembly.
This document covers mechanically operated locks, their locking plates which are either manufactured
and placed on the market in their entirety by one producer or produced by more than one producer, or
assembled from sub-assemblies produced by more than one producer and designed to be used in
combination.
This document does not cover assessment of the contribution of the product to the fire resistance of
specific fire resistance and/or smoke control door set assemblies.
This document is not applicable to mechanically/electromechanically cylinders, handles, locks for
windows, padlocks, locks for safes, furniture locks or prison locks.
This document does not specify multipoint locks or their locking plates which are specified by
prEN 15685.
