Automatic Doors
Planned Preventative Maintenance
Ensure Your Automatic Doors Are Fully Compliant with BS EN 16005 Safety Regulations
At Industrial Door Engineering (IDE), we understand the critical importance of safety and legal compliance when it comes to automatic doors, roller shutters, gates, and barriers. BS EN 16005 is the key European safety standard that governs the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of powered pedestrian doors to ensure they are safe for all users.
What is BS EN 16005?
BS EN 16005 sets out comprehensive safety requirements for automatic doors to minimise risks such as entrapment, collisions, and malfunction. It requires features like:
- Safety sensors to detect people and objects and prevent accidents
- Clear signage indicating door presence and opening direction
- Emergency escape provisions in case of power failure
- Regular maintenance and safety checks to ensure ongoing compliance and safe operation
Compliance with BS EN 16005 is essential not only to meet legal obligations under the UK’s Machinery Directive and Work Equipment Regulations but also to protect your customers, staff, and visitors from injury.
