Confirmation of conformity for the installation of the hold-open system
The contractor who installed the hold-open system must issue a confirmation of conformity for each construction
project, certifying that the hold-open system has been professionally installed with regard to all details and in com-
pliance with all provisions of the respective general construction technique permit (and, if applicable, the provisions
of the modification and supplementary notices) as well as the assembly instructions provided by GEZE.
This confirmation must be entered in the GEZE log book for hold-open systems. Alternatively, this confirmation
may be based on the model from the general construction technique permit.
The declaration is to be sent to the client for any necessary forwarding to the responsible building inspectorate.

Acceptance test
An official acceptance test must be carried out in order to ascertain the correct function and installation accord-
ing to the regulation once the installation of the hold-open system has been completed at the set-up location.
The operator must arrange this official acceptance test.
The acceptance test may only be carried out by GEZE specialists, specialists authorised by GEZE (with GEZE ex-
pert training) or specialists from an official test centre named by DIBt in the approval procedure.
The official acceptance test must include at least the following points:
1. It must be checked that the installed devices and device combinations of the hold-open system correspond
to the devices and device combinations specified in the general construction technique permit.
2. It shall be verified that the marking of the installed equipment and equipment combinations conforms to
the marking specified in the general construction technique permit or standard.
3. The interaction of all devices and device combinations must be checked on the basis of the general construction
technique permit, whereby triggering must take place both by simulation of the fire characteristic the fire detec-
tor is based on as well as by hand.
4. It must be checked whether the closer is released for automatic closing if the hold-open system is not func-
tional (e.g. through removal of a detector or power failure).
After the official acceptance test has taken place, the operator must attach a sign (set 10 pcs. ID 79142) in the size
105 mm × 52 mm, which is provided by GEZE, in the direct vicinity of the closer stating the following:
ú
Hold-open system
ú
Number of the general construction technique permit
ú
Official approval through .. .. (company logo as well as month and year of the official approval) and must be
affixed permanently.
The operator is to be given a certificate for the successful official acceptance test; this must be kept by the operator.
