Introduction
With the aim of clarifying the intentions of this European Standard and avoiding doubts when reading it, the
following assumptions were made when producing it:
a) The terms pedestrian doorsets (as defined in EN 14351-1 and/or prEN 14351-2) and industrial- /
commercial- / garage doors (as defined in EN 13241-1) have been replaced by the term doorset in
general as the original drafts prEN 14351-3 and prEN 13241-2 have been merged to this one European
product standard for fire and/or smoke control characteristics.
b) Doorsets / openable windows are:
ƒ designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes for intended
use, including all failure modes;
ƒ of sound mechanical and electrical construction;
ƒ made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality for intended use;
ƒ general electrical hazards are dealt with according to electrical safety standards such as EN
60204-1.
c) Doorsets / openable windows are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required
characteristics remain during the economical working life despite wear;
d) Fire resisting and smoke control doorsets / openable windows can only provide their designed fire
resistance or smoke control capability when they are in the closed position.
e) For doorsets / openable windows built according to good practice and the requirements of this European
Standard to be fully effective it is assumed that;
ƒ negotiations occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concerning particular conditions
for the use and places of use for the door related to health and safety;
ƒ the place of use/installation to be adequately lit;
ƒ the place of use/installation to allow safe use of the door.
These assumptions do not restrict the need for adequate information for use in this European Standard.
