The EN16005 guidelines, Power Operated Pedestrian Doorsets - Safety in Use which we adhere to states that all automatic doors should be serviced at least annually. This is to ensure the safety of pedestrians using the door/s and also enables the person at the site responsible for Health and Safety to discharge their duty of care. Taking care of the equipment will also maximise its life expectancy and reduce any problems which would require the attendance of an engineer.
The operators, safety devices and activation equipment are serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines, a certificate of EN16005 compliance is issued for each door set. Should there be an incident involving a pedestrian and your automatic door/s a claim may be made against you. In order to claim against your insurance you will need to produce the certificate of compliance to prove that the door/s in question have been maintained to EN16005.
Minor adjustments to the doors’ operation are made at the time of servicing, any breakdowns between services and required parts would be chargeable.
All of these services are available through contracting, subcontracting and one-off work – and, in every case, a guarantee of at least 12 months is provided.
