BS 7036 Safety at Powered Doors for Pedestrian Use

This industry-standard pertaining to automatic pedestrian doors fitted prior to the 10th April 2013 is British Standards 7036 (Parts 1 to 5) and this states that:

• To ensure safe operation, long term reliability and working efficiency, a powered door installation (including safety devices and safety systems) should be:
  • Regularly maintained to the manufacturer’s specification by a powered door system authorised technician and;
  • Annually inspected in accordance with the recommendations of this standard by completion of the authorised technicians checklist.

British Standards 7036 (96) provides guidelines on the appropriate safety levels for powered pedestrian doors. It aims to set the standard to ensure that automatic doors are operating correctly and that the end user has a safe product. The standard provides guidance to safeguard against the risk of accidents on all types of automatic doors.

In the event of an accident a trading standards official or court would look for evidence of the standard being breached. So although the BS 7036 is not a law, it is used in law. For your peace of mind all ENTEC technicians, or those representing ENTEC, are fully trained and conversant with the BS 7036 levels. As part of our duty of care, ENTEC will advise on any doors that don’t meet the required safety levels, and offer advice on resolving any issues.
