POWERED GATE SAFETY


GUIDE A comprehensive guide to powered gate safety has been published by the Door & Hardware Federation with the backing of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).


The guide summarises the current legislation and standards which will help gate providers, installers and property and building professionals to fully understand how to meet their safety obligations. It lists all the standards which contain requirements for various aspects of powered gate performance and design. It also makes recommendations on current safety solutions which go beyond the obligations in the currently published standards. Its publication follows recent

fatal accidents that have involved powered automatic gates, so the DHF rose to the challenge of providing an independent platform for the industry to drive up levels of safety in gate manufacture and installation by forming a specialist powered gates group. This now represents the


systems, the units are environmentally sealed to IP66. They meet the requirements for rugged, corrosion resistant non- metallic units for both onshore and offshore environments, and offer outstanding reliability when installed in harsh environments. Available as standard in a range of colours, including striped versions, different systems can be colour- coded to enable rapid visual identification in an emergency.


Available with break glass, push button and push button with tool reset operation, a comprehensive range of standard accessories such as a stainless steel lift flap, labelling options


leading UK manufacturers, suppliers, and installers of powered perimeter gates.


Andy Holz, Chairman of the DHF Powered Gate Group, said: “The DHF has long experience in setting safety standards for automated doors in other industry sectors, such as powered garage doors.


Much of that technical expertise is transferrable to the powered gate sector. This means that powered gate manufacturers and installers can tap into a rich source of technical knowledge and practical information on compliance with safety legislation. Our new DHF Guide to Gate Safety Legislation and Standards will help ensure every current and future gate installation in the UK can be made safe and comply with the law and that the risk of death or injury due to inadequate manufacturing and installation will be dramatically reduced.”


The DHF Guide to Gate Safety Legislation and Standards is the first guidance publication to be issued by the group and will be followed by the establishment of further safety standard in 2013. The guide is available at:

for stainless tags and duty labels are available. Series and EOL resistors in a range of different values can be fitted to all models as required and DPDT switching and LED indicators can also be specified.


The introduction of this new family complements the well-established


aluminium-bodied explosion proof and intrinsically safe call points, the BEx range of explosion proof sounders, beacons and loudspeakers, the E2x family of lightweight, corrosion free PPS plastic and impact-resistant ABS units and the intrinsically safe IS-mini modular sounder and beacon family.
