DHF LAUNCHES NEW TECH SPECS
The Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) has launched a series of new Technical Specifications: DHF TS 013 parts one, two and three.
Entitled Code of practice for the safety of industrial doors, domestic garage doors, powered gates & traffic barriers, parts one and two of the series replace the separate guidance previously issued forgates (TS 011) and industrial &garage doors (TS 012). Part three is a new edition providing guidance for owners and managers of these products.
Part 1 in the series, DHF TS 013- 1, the “On-site Guide” details the requirements for safety and draws on applicable standards to assist all those installing, commissioning, repairing, and maintaining industrial doors, domestic garage doors, powered gates & traffic barriers. The guidance will also be informative for the managers and supervisory staff of companies engaged in the manufacture and supply of complete door gate and traffic barrier systems.
Part 2 in the series, DHF TS 013-2, the “Legislation affecting supply, installation & maintenance” provides guidance on legislation which has been fully updated to reflect the changes post-Brexit and is intended primarily for managers and supervisory staff of installation and maintenance companies. It is also of relevance to manufacturers and suppliers of complete systems and components. It reflects the 2016 change to the scope of EN 13241 that has resulted in the need for fire resisting industrial doors to comply with the Construction Products Regulations 2013 since November 2019.
The final part of the series DHF TS 013-3, the “Guidance for owners and managers of industrial doors, garage doors and gates,” offers guidance for owners and managers of these systems. Part three does two things: it informs the owners and managers of their own legalobligations and also makes them aware of what they should expect from those who supply and maintain industrial & garage doors and gates.
