Compliance Responsibilities for Automatic Doors

BS EN 16005:2023+A1:2024 (which superseded both BS EN 16005:2012 and BS7036 in 2013) requires that to ensure the safe operation, long term reliability and working efficiency of a power operator pedestrian door set (including protective devices and safety systems) they must be regularly maintained according to the manufacturer's specification. They will also detail frequency of maintenance to be carried out.

The standard recommended frequency for servicing automatic doors is at least once a year, dependent upon usage, traffic etc. All service contract plans, including frequency of visits, are tailored to suit your needs, usage and the requirements of your equipment, and are delivered through our service partners: All Round Security in the North and Expert Access Solutions in the South.

Under EN 16005, regular risk assessment and inspection is also required by the owner/occupier. It is the owners responsibility to ensure that their Automatic Door equipment is regularly maintained according to the manufacturer's specification. The owner is also responsible for ensuring that any maintenance operation is recorded in the equipment Log book. The routine maintenance instructions shall give simple general instructions highlighting the maintenance that can be undertaken by the owner without any specific competence, and highlighting all other maintenance to be carried out by professionals.

All technicians engaged through our authorised service partners are authorised under the Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA) scheme and carry an industry ID card demonstrating successful completion of the ADSA competency exam.
