Industrial, commercial, garage doors and gates - Product standard, performance characteristics
1.1 General
This European Standard specifies the safety and performance requirements for doors, gates and barriers, intended for installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons in industrial, commercial or residential premises.
This European Standard also covers commercial doors such as rolling shutters and rolling grilles used in retail premises which are mainly provided for the access of persons rather than vehicles or goods.
These doors can include pass doors incorporated in the door leaf which are also covered by this European Standard.
These devices can be manually or power operated.
This European Standard does not cover operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000-6-3.
1.2 Exclusions
This European Standard does not apply to the following which are intended for a different use:
- lock gates and dock gates;
- doors on lifts;
- doors on vehicles;
- armoured doors;
- doors mainly for the retention of animals;
- theatre textile curtains;
- horizontally moving manually operated pedestrian doors with a leaf size less than 6,25 m²;
- horizontally moving power operated doors less than 2,5 m wide and 6,25 m² area, designed principally for pedestrian use in accordance with prEN 12650-1;
- revolving doors of any size;
- railway barriers;
- barriers used solely for vehicles.
This European Standard does not cover the radio part of doors. If a radio operating device is used, the relevant ETSI standards should be applied in addition.
This European Standard does not contain any specific requirements for fire resistance or smoke control characteristics which are covered in prEN 13241-2.

Overview
EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011/FprA2 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the safety and performance requirements for industrial, commercial, and garage doors as well as gates and barriers. Its primary focus is to ensure the safe access of goods and vehicles, whether accompanied or driven by people, at industrial sites, commercial premises, and residential buildings. This includes doors such as rolling shutters and rolling grilles used mainly for pedestrian access in retail environments. Both manual and power-operated doors and gates are covered within the scope.
The standard clarifies that it does not address aspects of fire resistance or smoke control, which are managed under separate standards (e.g., EN 16034). Additionally, it instructs manufacturers and installers regarding CE marking, performance characteristics, and safety considerations for doors and gates accessible to persons.
Key Topics
Scope and Coverage:
EN 13241-1 addresses doors, gates, and barriers installed in locations accessible to people, providing clear access for goods and vehicles at sites such as:- Industrial facilities
- Commercial premises (e.g., retail stores)
- Residential garages
Product Types Covered:
- Industrial doors and gates
- Commercial doors, rolling shutters, and rolling grilles
- Garage doors (manual and power-operated)
- Pass doors integrated into larger doors
Exclusions:
The standard specifically excludes:- Lock gates, dock gates, lift doors, vehicle doors, armoured doors
- Doors primarily for animal retention, theatre curtains
- Certain types of pedestrian doors, revolving doors, railway barriers
- Barriers used exclusively for vehicles
- Fire and smoke control requirements
- Radio-operated components (covered by ETSI standards)
Performance and Safety:
EN 13241-1 sets out general and specific requirements to minimize risks associated with the use of industrial and commercial doors. This includes instructions related to:- Safe operation in environments with applicable electromagnetic disturbance limits (per EN 61000-6-3)
- Requirements for manual versus power operation
- Labelling and CE marking for conformity
Applications
EN 13241-1 has practical applications across various sectors where safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance are paramount:
Industrial Facilities:
Ensuring that large access points for vehicles and material handling equipment are safe and conform to EU requirements.Commercial Buildings:
Retail premises benefit from standardized requirements for customer access doors, such as rolling shutters and grilles.Residential Garages:
Applies to both single and multi-occupant dwellings, ensuring garage doors meet essential safety and performance criteria.Installation and Retrofitting:
The standard covers not only new product installations but also applies to the conversion of existing manual doors to powered operation, as long as relevant requirements are met.
Manufacturers, installers, and facility managers rely on EN 13241-1 for guidance in achieving compliance, product safety, and proper labelling through CE marking, ensuring safer environments for personnel and property.
