Measuring forces between secondary closing edge and counter edge
Entrapment forces have to be measured between closing edge and counter
edge (walls, lintel) as stated below:
The entrapment force is measured against the movement, perpendicular to
the door leaf, 300 mm from the point where it passes the static edge and
when the angle between the door leaf and the fixed edge is 30° (see figure
8).
Measurement of forces on secondary closing edges may be disregarded if
the manufacturer of the door can demonstrate that, when measured on the
secondary closing edge, they are always below the figures obtained when
the measurement is done on the primary closing edge and under the same
measuring conditions. Active or passive safety devices should be fitted solid
surface to solid.
3.2.6
Barriers
On barriers, the forces should be measured at the points and in the direction
as stated below:
3.2.6.1
Measuring Points
The impact force will be measured 200 mm from end of the arm, and at a
maximum height of 2 metres above the ground, at an maximum angle from
the horizontal of 45° (see figure 9).
When gaps between moving parts and the ground or fixed surroundings are
decreasing to less than 300 mm, they should be measured at intervals of 300
mm and eventually 50 mm (see figure 9 b).
