Low Energy Power Operated Sliding Doors
(Sheet 3 of 3)
To ensure that a Low Energy Power Operated Sliding Door operates in accordance with ANSI/BHMA and the
the IBC-2018, the following must be established: 
•  Acvaon of the door must be by a Knowing Act.
•  The Opening Time (speed) of the Door(s) shall be adjusted so that the door(s) open at a speed of 12 inches 
per second maximum, from fully closed to fully open.
•  When powered open, the door shall remain at the fully open posion for not less than 5 seconds before

•  The force required to prevent a stopped door from opening or closing shall not exceed 15 lbf (67 N).
• The required Signage must be present.
NOTE: In special applicaons where safety sensors or secondary acvaon sensors are used on 
           a low energy door, refer to ANSI/BHMA A156.10 for guidance on sensor performance criteria 
           for the type of sensor selected.
