GATES

European standard NF EN 13241 + A2 applies to manually operated and motorised doors, gates and barriers

designed to be installed in areas that are accessible to people, and its purpose is to secure access to industrial and

business premises or garages in residential areas.

It does not apply to:

• manual gates with a surface area of < 6.25 m² for use by people,

• motorised gates with a width of < 2.50 m2 and a surface area of < 6.25 m² essentially designed for pedestrians,

• barriers intended solely for vehicles.

“The order issued on 9 August 2006 stipulates that ground markings, f lashing lights, and area lighting are mandatory for

automated gates.”

The installer must protect access to the backspace of the gate under standard NF EN 12635 by eliminating all risks

of crushing, shearing and dragging. The fence must therefore be installed a safe distance away from the moving

leaf. This safety distance accounts for exposed body parts as specif ied in standard NF EN ISO 13857.
