Hinged or pivoted doors - Determination of the resistance to static torsion
ISO 9381:2005 applies to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors. ISO 9381:2005 specifies the method to be used to determine the permanent deformation caused when static stress in torsion is applied to an open door leaf fixed in its own door frame as part of a doorset. ISO 9381:2005 can also be used in respect a door leaf submitted for test in a frame which the manufacturer considers appropriate to and typical for the intended utilisation.
Portes battantes ou pivotantes — Détermination de la résistance à la torsion statique
L'ISO 9381:2005 s'applique à toutes les portes battantes ou pivotantes dans un plan vertical. L'ISO 9381:2005 définit la méthode à utiliser pour déterminer la déformation permanente causée par une contrainte de torsion statique appliquée sur un vantail ouvert fixé dans son huisserie en tant qu'élément d'un bloc-porte. L'ISO 9381:2005 peut aussi être utilisée pour un vantail soumis à essai dans une huisserie que le fabricant estime convenable et représentative de l'utilisation prévue.

Overview
ISO 9381:2005 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the method for determining the resistance to static torsion of hinged or pivoted doors. This standard applies to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors and focuses on measuring the permanent deformation caused when a static torsion force is applied to an open door leaf fixed in its own door frame as part of a complete doorset. The standard is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality assurance professionals involved in door design, testing, and certification.
The purpose of ISO 9381:2005 is to ensure that doors subjected to static torsional stress-such as during attempts to force open or unjam a door-maintain structural integrity without suffering damage or significant deformation that could impair their performance.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
ISO 9381:2005 applies specifically to vertically hinged or pivoted doors in a vertical plane. It is relevant both for door leaves tested within their manufacturer-recommended frames and for those assessed with typical frames representative of intended use.Testing Methodology
The standard defines a precise procedure to measure door leaf deformation under a defined static torsion load:- Door leaf is positioned open at approximately 90 degrees in its frame.
- A preload is applied to compensate for hinge play.
- A calibrated static torsional force (F), adjustable with a precision device, is applied at the lower corner on the lock side.
- Deformations during and after load application are carefully measured using high-accuracy comparators.
Test Equipment
Requirements for rigid and non-deforming test frames, calibrated load application devices, and precise measuring instruments with accuracy to 0.01 mm are specified to ensure consistency and reliability of test results.Results and Documentation
The standard details the recording of deformation under load and residual deformation after unloading. Test reports must include comprehensive information, such as door and frame details, load applied, environmental conditions during testing, and any damage observed.
Applications
Door Manufacturing and Quality Control
Door manufacturers use ISO 9381:2005 to validate and certify that their hinged or pivoted doors meet structural performance requirements concerning torsional rigidity and durability under static stress conditions.Product Certification and Compliance
This standard supports product certification schemes and regulatory compliance by providing an internationally recognized test method for torsional resistance.Design and Engineering
Engineers can utilize the results generated through this standard's test procedures to improve door leaf and frame designs to enhance durability, safety, and performance under torsional forces.Installation and Maintenance
Understanding torsional resistance as per ISO 9381:2005 aids installers and maintenance personnel in selecting appropriate door systems for applications where static torsional stresses may occur, such as in high-traffic or security-sensitive environments.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9381 was prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33, Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware
and curtain walling (as EN 948:1999) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 162, Doors and windows in parallel with its approval by the ISO member bodies.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9381:1989) which has been technically revised.

L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
