2.4 SAFETY PROVISIONS EMPLOYED
To comply with the CE marking, manually operated gates must be designed in ac-
cordance with EN 13241:2003+A2:2016 and EN 12604:2017+A1:2020. Among
other things, these standards specify the safety requirements.
In addition to mechanical requirements, these requirements are mainly:
•
Gate leaves must be protected against falling over during normal operation or
if they come in contact with a stationary obstacle.
•
Protection against accidental and uncontrolled movements
Uncontrolled movements – for example, due to gusts of wind – can be prevented
by blocking/locking the leaves in a closed and open position.
See the chapter on OPERATION.
•
Make sure that the gate leaf is always blocked against unintended movements
caused by gusts of wind. This can result in injury, damage to property or dam-
age to the product.
Provisions have been applied to prevent gate leaves from falling over. These may
differ for each gate type.
See the chapter on SAFETY PROVISIONS.
• Provisions that protect gate leaves from falling over may NEVER be removed.
If they are missing or damaged, make sure that they are replaced as soon as
possible. Please contact Heras if this happens.
