Safety standards to be respected European standard EN 13241-1 regulates the installation of gates and garage doors with automatic opening systems on private property. This standard, which is more stringent than the previous French standard NF 25-362, not only requires gate manufacturers to deliver results, but also requires regular maintenance for private customers.

According to this European standard, all materials used to install an automatic gate system must bear the CE mark. Only this mark can guarantee compliance with the European standard. When the system is installed, professionals must also carry out tests to ensure that there is no risk of shearing, crushing, jamming or pinching. In this case, the professional will carry out the tests using specialized, certified tools.

The results of these tests may subsequently oblige gate owners to install photoelectric cells built into the gate. This has the effect of signalling any object or individual that may impede the movement of the gate as it opens or closes. A warning light may then be required to signal gate movements to the public, particularly for automatic gates giving access to a crowded street.

The owner of a home with an automatic gate must carry documents attesting to the proper operation of the gate, and initialed by an official recognized by the authorities. This document must contain, among other things, a CE certificate, a test certificate and a maintenance log.

The various safety accessories required for a gate If they are not purchased with the gate, you can obtain these accessories from suppliers, who will then be able to guarantee optimum safety in the day-to-day use of your automatic opening gate.

These accessories are :

• a mirror to make maneuvering easier, especially at night.
• photoelectric cells installed face to face to ensure that no object or individual impedes the opening or closing of the gate.
• lighting all around the gate as it opens and closes.
• a flashing light to warn the public when the gate is opening or closing.
• a battery backup to ensure gate operation in the event of a power failure.
• an external unlocking system if manual opening fails.
