EN179

 

The European standard EN 179 specifies requirements and testing procedures for emergency exit devices operated by a lever handle or push pad, for use on escape routes (where emergency situations can arise). The people in the building are familiar with the exits and their hardware. The main purpose of this standard is to provide a safe and effective escape through a doorway with one single operation to release the locking device. European standard EN 179 classifies emergency exit devices operated by a lever handle or push pad, for use on escape routes using a 10-digit coding system. This 10-digit coding system includes:

 

  • Digit 1 – Category of use
  • Digit 2 – Durability
  • Digit 3 – Door mass
  • Digit 4 – Suitability for use on fire/smoke doors
  • Digit 5 – Safety
  • Digit 6 – Corrosion resistance
  • Digit 7 – Security
  • Digit 8 – Projection of operating element
  • Digit 9 – Type of operation
  • Digit 10 – Field of door application

EN1125

 

The European standard EN 1125 specifies requirements and testing procedures for Panic exit devices operated by a horizontal bar, for use on escape routes (where panic situations might arise). Not everyone is familiar with the exits and their hardware. For example, exit doors on public buildings. In this case push bars should be used to release the locking device with one single operation. The purpose of the requirements of this standard is to give safe and effective escape. It should be possible through a doorway without prior knowledge of the device and with minimum effort. European standard EN 1125 classifies Panic exit devices operated by a horizontal bar, for use on escape routes using a 10-digit coding system. This 10-digit coding system includes:

 

  • Digit 1 – Category of use
  • Digit 2 – Durability
  • Digit 3 – Door mass
  • Digit 4 – Suitability for use on fire/smoke doors
  • Digit 5 – Safety
  • Digit 6 – Corrosion resistance
  • Digit 7 – Security
  • Digit 8 – Projection of horizontal bar
  • Digit 9 – Type of horizontal bar operation
  • Digit 10 – Field of application

EN14846

The European standard EN 14846 specifies requirements and test methods for electromechanically operated locks and striking plates. European standard EN 14846 classifies electromechanically operated locks and striking plates using a 9-digit coding system. This 9-digit coding system includes:

 

  • Digit 1 – Category of use
  • Digit 2 – Durability and load on latch bolt
  • Digit 3 – Door mass and closing force
  • Digit 4 – Suitability for use on fire/smoke doors
  • Digit 5 – Safety
  • Digit 6 – Corrosion resistance, temperature and humidity
  • Digit 7 – Security and drill resistance
  • Digit 8 – Security electrical function
  • Digit 9 – Security electrical manipulation

EN12209

The European standard EN 12209 specifies requirements and test methods for mechanically operated locks and locking plates. European standard EN 12209 classifies mechanically operated locks, latches and locking plates using an 8-digit coding system. This 8-digit coding system includes:

 

  • Digit 1 – Category of use
  • Digit 2 – Durability and force on latch bolt
  • Digit 3 – Door mass and closing force
  • Digit 4 – Suitability for use on fire resisting and/or smoke control doors
  • Digit 5 – Safety
  • Digit 6 – Corrosion resistance and temperature
  • Digit 7 – Security and drill resistance
  • Digit 8 – Key identification of lever locks
