BS EN1154-Door Closer

Standards and Certification

BS EN 1154:1997 -The European standard for the performance of controlled door closing devices.

Providing details on product types, classification by use, test cycles, test cycles, door mass, corrosion resistance, as well as definations, product performance requirements, test apparatus, test methods and marking of products.

BS EN 1154:1997 classifies door closers by using a 6 digit coding system.

1. Category of use 

Two categories are defined.

Grade 3: For closing doors from at least 105° open

Grade 4: For closing doors from 180° open

2.Number of test cycles 

only one categories are is identified.

Grade 8: 500,000 cycles

3.Test Door Mass/ size 

Where a door closer provides a range of power sizes both the minimum and maximum shall be identified. *Door size/mass in accordance with BS EN 1154:1997

4.Fire Behaviour 

Two categories are defined.

Grade 0 : Not suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies

Grade 1:Suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies, subject to satisfactory testing and assessment(See BS EN 1634 Part1: 2000)

5.Safety 

All doors closers are required to satisfy the essential requirements of safety in use. Therefore only grade 1 is identified.

6.Corrosion resistance 

Five categories are defined.

Grade 0 : No defiined resistance.

Grade 1 : mild resistance

Grade 2 : moderate resistance

Grade 3 : high resistace

Grade 4 : very high resistance

BS EN 1155:1997 -The European Standard for the performance of electrically powered hold open devices for swing doors.

This standard again provides details on product types, classification by use,test cycles,door mass, corrosion resistance, as well as definitions, product performance requirements, test appartus, test mathods and marking of products.

BS EN 1155:1997 classifies products using the same 6 digit coding system as outlined in BS EN 1154:1997. The only difference being box 3 where BS EN 1154 refers to durability, BS EN 1155 refers to hold open power size.

All our products strictly according to international Standard, such as the ANSI, BS EN/CE, UL, BHMA standard.

 

A door closer is an essential component of any building, ensuring that doors close properly and securely. It is a device that is typically installed at the top of a door and controls the speed at which the door closes. This helps to prevent doors from slamming shut, which can be both disruptive and potentially dangerous.

One key point to keep in mind when considering a door closer is the importance of choosing the right type for your specific needs. There are various types of door closers available, including hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical options. Each type has its own set of features and benefits, so it is important to carefully consider which one will best suit your requirements.

In addition to selecting the right type of door closer, it is also crucial to ensure that it is installed correctly. Improper installation can lead to issues such as doors not closing properly or even becoming damaged over time. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a professional installer to ensure that your door closer is properly installed and functioning correctly.

Overall, a door closer plays a vital role in maintaining the security and functionality of a building's doors. By choosing the right type and ensuring proper installation, you can help to ensure that your doors operate smoothly and securely for years to come.
