protection means. Use of a single device to cover both the opening and closing directions is in accordance with
the requirement; however, a single device is not required to cover both directions. A combination of one Type
B1 for one direction and one Type B2 for the other direction is the equivalent of one device for the purpose of
complying with the requirements of either the primary or secondary entrapment protection areas.
