According to the German industrial standard DIN 18650, the swing path of an automatic door
has to be protected amongst others by safety sensors. However, there are special requirements
for the application of a low-energy product.
The meets the requirements of a low-energy
application according to the standard by fulfilling the following requirements:
Reduced driving speeds (reduced dynamic forces at the door leaf and reduced dynamic
contact forces)
Force limitation (reduced static forces at the door leaf/reduced static contact forces)
Automatic doors might cause
hazards by crushing,
shearing, hitting and drawing-in
at the different closing edges.
The German industrial standard DIN 18650 has different requirements regarding the protection
of the above-mentioned danger spots.
For the application of the the following
requirements prevail:
An additional protection of the door system is not compulsory.
The application of safety sensors at the main closing edge and the opposite closing edge as
additional protection is optional and at the discretion of the person performing the
installation of the door system in accordance with the result of the individual risk assessment
(please also refer to "risk assessment", see page 6).
All people using a door are generally aware of the danger spot at the secondary closing edge
of every door (also at manually operated doors). This danger spot cannot be influenced by the
manufacturer of the operator and a protection of this closing edge often cannot be realised
due to its construction and technical function. A suitable clamping protection (e.g. rubber or
textile cover) is available in the specialised trade and is not part of the scope of delivery.
All in all: High safety standard of the application!
