STANDARDS FOR PLASTIC COATINGS
The quality of the coating determines product service life. DIRICKX has been committed to complying with the applicable standards for plastic coatings for many years.

Standard NF EN 10245-2 on PVC coating lays down the requirements in terms of weight and quality. Fences in rolls such as chainlink and edging all comply with this standard.

Standard EN 13438 lays down the requirements for polyester coatings. This standard is applied to products including the AXOR® and AXIS® Design panels and AXIS®, AXOR®, UNIVERS posts.
NF EN 13241-1 GATE STANDARDS
All DIRICKX manual and motorised gates comply with European standard NF EN 13241-1, in force since 1 June 2005.
It comprises 16 normative documents, the most important being standard NF EN 13241-1. It aims to improve the security of the end user, standardise the level of requirement Europe-wide by introducing common guidelines, and ensure the free circulation of goods within the European Union.

Drawn up by the European Committee for Standardisation, the standard applies to manual and motorised doors, gates and barriers which are designed for installation in areas accessible to people and used to provide access in complete security to goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by people on industrial and commercial premises or in garages in residential areas.

The standard does not apply to:

  • Manual gates with a surface area of < 6.25m2 for use by people.
  • Motorised gates with a width of < 2.50m and a surface area of < 6.25m2 particularly designed for pedestrians.
  • Barriers intended solely for vehicles.

The installer must protect access to the retraction area of the gate according to standard NF EN 12635 by eliminating risks of crushing, shearing and dragging.The fence must therefore be installed a safe distance away from the moving leaf. This safe distance takes into account exposed parts of the human body as laid down in standard NF EN 294.
