Overview
The standard kSIST FprEN 60335-2-95:2010/kFprAA:2014, developed by CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), specifies safety requirements for electrical drives for vertically moving garage doors intended for residential use. It addresses the essential health and safety criteria to ensure the safe operation of powered garage door drives under normal and foreseeable misuse conditions. The standard aligns with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, providing conformity requirements and harmonizing European safety regulations with international IEC standards.
This document covers drives operating at rated voltages not exceeding 250 V (single-phase) or 480 V (other appliances), including automatic drives. It ensures protection against hazards related to door movements, mechanical failures, electrical safety, and entrapment risks, making it essential for manufacturers, installers, and users of residential garage door drives.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
- Safety requirements for electrical drives for vertically moving garage doors in homes.
- Covers rated operating voltages up to 250 V (single-phase) or 480 V (multi-phase).
- Includes automatic drives and essential accessories like entrapment protection systems.
- Excludes commercial, industrial, and specialized environment drives such as those for corrosive atmospheres.
Safety Requirements
- Protection against entrapment hazards with mandatory entrapment protection devices.
- Construction requirements ensuring safe transportation, installation, adjustment, and maintenance.
- Operational safety including the limitation of door speeds and automated reversal if obstacles are detected.
- Marking and detailed instructions for safe installation, operation, and maintenance.
- Testing under varying environmental conditions and modes of operation, including temperature extremes (+5 °C to +40 °C or beyond).
Marking and Instructions
- Clear labeling must include rated power input, manufacturer’s identification, model, serial number, production year, and intended operating conditions.
- Instructions must provide operational warnings, installation guidance (e.g., manual release height under 1.8 m), maintenance checks, and entrapment protection operation descriptions.
- Sound emission limits for drives set to a maximum of 70 dB(A).
Technical Definitions
- Definitions of critical terms such as entrapment protection system, biased-off switch (hold-to-run control), rated operating time, and rated number of operating cycles.
- Explanation of product components and test procedures.
Testing and Compliance
- Comprehensive test requirements for performance validation including continuous operating cycles, electrical safety, temperature tolerance, and mechanical functionality.
- Guidelines on reusing tested components without redundant testing if their performance remains unchanged.
- Compliance with EN 60335-1:2012 and harmonization with IEC 60335-2-95:2011 standards.
Applications
This standard is critical for:
- Manufacturers of residential garage door drives, ensuring their products meet European safety and performance requirements before market release.
- Installers and maintenance professionals, guiding safe installation, adjustment, and maintenance processes to avoid malfunction and hazards.
- Consumers and end-users by ensuring that drives purchased and installed for residential garage doors include mandatory safety features like entrapment protection, manual release devices, and comprehensive operating instructions.
- Testing and certification bodies tasked with validating products' conformity with harmonized European norms and the Machinery Directive, facilitating market access and regulatory compliance.
The standard supports safe automation and operation of residential garage doors, reducing risks of accidents related to electrical faults, mechanical failures, or improper use.
Related Standards
To fully comply with safety and functional requirements for garage door drives and associated equipment, the following standards should also be considered:
- EN 60335-1:2012 – General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
- IEC 60335-2-95:2011 – International equivalent detailing particular requirements specifically for garage door drives.
- EN 12978 – Safety devices for power-operated industrial, commercial, and garage doors and gates-requirements and test methods.
- EN 60335-2-97 – Pertinent for drives related to rolling shutters, awnings, blinds, and similar equipment.
- EN 60335-2-103 – Requirements for garage doors used by multiple households.
These complementary standards provide a comprehensive framework for electrical safety, mechanical integrity, and user protection across a wide range of power-operated door systems.

48 Introduction
49 Add:
51 This European Standard has been prepared to provide a means of conforming to essential safety
52 requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Other requirements and other EU Directives may be
53 applicable to the drives falling within the scope of this standard.
55 The relevant requirements of Annex ZE of Part 1 have been incorporated in the text of this part 2.
57 Therefore, compliance with the requirements of EN 60335-1 and of this Part 2 gives presumption of conformity
58 of the product with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR) of Directive 2006/42/EC as stated
59 in Annex ZZ.
60 Drives put on the market as machines may be installed by the final user. The requirements of this standard
61 also cover the foreseeable misuse of the power operated garage door.
62 Drives put on the market as partly completed machines shall not be installed by the final user. In case of
63 partly completed machines, reference shall be made to the specific procedures of the Machinery Directive
64 2006/42/EC; this standard can, anyhow, be used as guidance.
65 1 Scope
66 Replacement:
67 This clause of part 1 is replaced by the following.
68 This European Standard deals with the safety of electric drives for garage doors for residential use that open
69 and close in a vertical direction, the rated voltage of the drives being not more than 250 V for single-phase
70 appliances and 480 V for other appliances. It also covers the hazards associated with the movement of these
71 electrically driven garage doors.
72 NOTE Z101 Examples of garage doors are shown in Figure 101.
73 NOTE Z102 The drive may be supplied with a garage door.
74 NOTE Z103 This standard also applies to entrapment protection devices for use with drives.
75 NOTE Z104 Within the standard the terms drive and appliance are interchangeable.
76 This standard deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by drives that are encountered by all
77 persons in and around the installation place. However, in general, it does not take into account:
78 • children playing with the appliance;
79 • the use of the appliance by very young children;
80 • the use of the appliance by young children without supervision.
82 It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this standard.
83 NOTE Z105 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national authorities
84 responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
85 This standard also covers automatic drives.
86 NOTE Z106 This standard does not apply to drives
87 – for rolling shutters, awnings, blinds and similar equipment (EN 60335-2-97);
88 – for garage doors for use by more than one household (EN 60335-2-103);
89 – for commercial and industrial purposes;
90 – intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust,
91 vapour or gas).
92 Products covered by this standard do not create a noise hazard.

124 Replacement:
125 This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
126 Add to the first paragraph:
127 Drives shall be constructed in such a way that they ensure transportation, installation, adjusting, maintenance
128 are carried out safely.
129 5 General conditions for the tests
130 5.3 Addition:
131 When a drive incorporates a sub-assembly or a part which has already been tested against relevant clause(s)
132 of this standard, those tests need not be repeated, if the incorporation of the sub-assembly or part into the
133 drive does not change the performance of the sub-assembly or part.

137 Safe position of a wicket door is the closed position when it travels together with the door or the open position
138 when it does not travel with the door.
