European foreword
This document (prEN 12046-2:2022) 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 will supersede EN 12046-2:2000.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
• clarification of the test methods;
• extension of the scope to cover doors with emergency or panic exit devices.
This document is one of a series of standards for windows and doors.
The EN 12046 series of standards Operating forces — Test method currently consists of:
— Part 1: Windows;
— Part 2: Doors.
prEN 13123-1:2022 (E)
1 Scope
This document covers hinged/pivoted and sliding doorsets with engaging fasteners (e.g. latches,
deadbolts) for pedestrian use. It defines the test methods to determine the forces to open/close doors
and to engage/release and lock/unlock the hardware using a key or handle. It is only applicable to the
manual operation of doorsets.
These doorsets may include emergency or panic exit devices.
The method of measuring the operating forces for pedestrian doorsets with self-closing devices
engaged are included in this test standard.
NOTE The use of some windows involves engaging fasteners (e.g. latches, deadbolts) and can be tested in
accordance with this standard.
