The safety of automatic swing door operators is crucial to ensuring the safety of pedestrians and buildings. In order to ensure the safety of automatic swing door operators, countries and regions have formulated a series of safety standards. This article will focus on the relevant safety standards in China and Europe.
1. Safety standards in China
In China, the safety standards for automatic swing door operators are mainly based on the national standard GB/T 32773-2016 "Specifications for the installation, commissioning, testing and maintenance of automatic doors". This standard specifies the technical requirements, precautions and specific implementation steps for automatic swing door operators during installation, commissioning, testing and maintenance. The main contents include:
1. Installation requirements: When installing automatic swing door operators, you must follow the national standards and the manufacturer's installation standards to ensure that the door leaf is stable, flexible to open, safe and reliable.
2. Debugging requirements: After installation, the automatic swing door operator must be debugged, including adjusting the door opening speed, door closing speed, opening force and closing force. After the debugging is completed, strict testing must be carried out and the test results must be recorded to ensure the normal operation of the automatic swing door machine and the safety of pedestrians.
3. Testing requirements: The national standard stipulates the requirements for the testing of automatic swing door machines, including the performance testing of automatic swing door machines, the testing of installation and the testing of maintenance. The test performance includes the opening speed, closing speed, opening force, closing force and door opening time of the automatic swing door machine. The installation test mainly examines the quality of the installation, the correctness of the installation position, the safety protection facilities and the door machine control system. Maintenance testing is a post-test that needs to be carried out during the long-term opening and production process of the automatic swing door machine to discover and solve the faults of the automatic swing door machine.
4. Maintenance and treatment methods: The national standard stipulates the maintenance and treatment methods of automatic swing door machines, including the maintenance operation process, maintenance means and maintenance essentials of automatic swing door machines. Only the regular maintenance methods provided by regular manufacturers can ensure the safety and reliability of automatic swing door machines.
2. Safety standards in Europe
In Europe, the safety standards for automatic swing door machines are mainly based on EN 16005 "Safety requirements for automatic door installation" issued by the European Committee for Standardization. This standard covers the safety requirements during the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of automatic swing door machines. The main contents include:
1. Design and installation requirements: EN 16005 requires that specific groups of people, such as the elderly, children and people with disabilities, be taken into account in the design and installation of automatic swing door machines. These special groups use automatic swing door machines more frequently in their daily lives, so their safety is of vital importance. For example, the standard requires that automatic swing door machines should be equipped with sufficiently obvious safety measures to ensure the safe passage of people with disabilities.
2. Regular safety inspections and maintenance: EN 16005 requires regular safety inspections and maintenance of automatic swing door machines to ensure that the automatic swing door machines are always in good working condition and that potential faults can be discovered and resolved in a timely manner.
3. Emergency stop system and emergency release system: EN 16005 specifies the requirements for the emergency stop system and emergency release system of automatic swing door machines. In emergency situations, such as fire or power outage, these systems can quickly and effectively stop the operation of the automatic swing door machine and ensure the safety of users.
4. Anti-pinch device: EN 16005 requires that the automatic swing door machine should be equipped with an anti-pinch device to prevent users from being pinched.
5. Fault detection and alarm system: EN 16005 also provides requirements for fault detection and alarm systems for automatic swing door machines. These systems can detect and alarm faults of automatic swing door machines in time to ensure their normal operation and avoid potential dangers.
3. Conclusion
The safety standard of automatic swing door machines is an important basis for ensuring the safety of pedestrians and buildings. Both China's GB/T 32773-2016 standard and Europe's EN 16005 standard have detailed regulations on the safety requirements during the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of automatic swing door machines. In the process of using automatic swing door machines, we should follow the standard requirements and conduct regular safety inspections and maintenance to ensure our safety and health.
