Security inspection according EN 16005
Like the German standard DIN 18650, the EN 16005 describes the requirements and the test me-
thods for the safe use of power-operated pedestrian doors. The EN 16361 describes the require-
ments for the production process and documentation / classification of the doors.
The EN 16005 is valid for automatic sliding, folding, swing and revolving doors. It does not apply to
high speed doors (Speedcord).
We recommend that you organize and use your country-specific version of the EN 16005.
