BS 7036-1:1996

Code of practice for safety at powered doors for pedestrian use - Part 1. General

Guidance and recommendations on general safety at powered pedestrian door installations.

This British Standard, a part of the BS 7036 series, provides guidance to manufacturers, suppliers, installers, specifiers, occupiers and property owners on the general recommendations for the provision, installation, safe operation and maintenance of powered door systems with a view to safeguarding traffic against the risk of accidents.

Although this code of practice is not intended to include industrial type powered doors and powered turnstiles, gates and barriers, the guidance given may be helpful for such installations.

This British Standard is not intended to cover the manufacture or design of powered door operating systems except where the products, components or devices have a bearing on the question of safety, nor does it cover the application of powered doors to specific installations.

This British Standard together with Parts 2 and 3, supersedes BS 7036:1988 which is withdrawn.
