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:
• Protection against accidental and uncontrolled movements
• The gate leaves must be protected against falling over during normal opera-
tion or if they come in contact with a stationary obstacle.
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
damage to the product.
Provisions have been applied to prevent gate leaves from falling over or becoming
derailed. These may differ for each gate type.
See the chapter on SAFETY PROVISIONS FOR SLIDING GATES.
Provisions that protect gate leaves against falling over or from becoming derailed
must 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.
SAFETY DURING USE
• Prevent children playing with the gate.
 PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN 
• The gate must not be operated in windy conditions, wind force ≥9 Beaufort.
The gate leaf can swing in a way that can result in damage to the construc-
tion.
