Maintenance
A technical specialist must:
carry out an annual inspection of escape route doors with electric lock-
ing systems.
issue an inspection certificate, which the building operator must sub-
mit to the building inspection authorities if required.
Note
These instructions are standard specifications. As the use of escape route
locking systems is regulated on a national or local basis, respective local
building legislation and inspection regulations for technical systems
should be observed.
Escape door control terminals do not require any maintenance. If faults
which are not caused by faulty installation or fitting occur during opera-
tion or during one of the compulsory tests, the device in question should
be taken out of service immediately and sent to the manufacturer to be
checked.
The fact devices do not require maintenance does not release building
operators from the obligation to subject escape door locking systems to
inspection on a regular basis.
