Door leaves - General and local flatness - Measurement method
This standard can be applied to all rectangular door leaves. The standard specifies the method to be used to measure the deviations in general and local flatness of door leaves. In this standard the concept of local flatness deviation is limited to defects considered to be prejudicial to the appearance of the door leaf.
Türblätter - Allgemeine und lokale Ebenheit - Meßverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm kann bei allen rechtwinkligen Türblättern angewandt werden. Diese Norm legt das anzuwendende Meßverfahren zur Ermittlung der Abweichungen von der allgemeinen und der lokalen Ebenheit von Türblättern fest. In dieser Norm ist der Begriff der lokalen Ebenheitsabweichung auf Fehler begrenzt, die als nachteilig für das Aussehen des Türblattes betrachtet werden.
Vantaux de portes - Planeités générale et locale - Méthode de mesure
Cette norme européenne peut s'appliquer à tous les vantaux rectangulaires. Cette norme européenne définit la méthode à utiliser pour mesurer les écarts de planéité générale et locale des vantaux. Dans cette norme européenne le concept d'écart de planéité locale est limité aux défauts considérés comme préjudiciables à l'aspect du vantail.

Overview
EN 952:1999 is a European Standard published by CEN that outlines the measurement methods for determining the general and local flatness of door leaves. This standard applies specifically to all rectangular door leaves, serving as a critical reference for manufacturers, quality inspectors, and professionals involved in door production and installation. Ensuring door flatness is fundamental for both the function and visual quality of doors in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Key Topics
- Scope of Application: EN 952:1999 is relevant to all types of rectangular door leaves, irrespective of the material or intended use.
- Measurement Procedures: The standard details the process for assessing both general and local flatness deviations, which are critical indicators of dimensional accuracy and quality.
- Local Flatness Deviations: Special emphasis is placed on local flatness errors that could detract from the door leaf's appearance, supporting higher visual and aesthetic standards in construction and manufacturing.
- Quality and Compliance: Using the prescribed method ensures consistency across products, helping organizations meet regulatory and performance requirements.
Applications
EN 952:1999 provides practical value in several scenarios:
- Manufacturing: Door producers incorporate this standard into their quality control systems to ensure flatness and minimize rejection rates due to defects.
- Construction: Builders and installers use the measurement methods to verify that supplied door leaves conform to flatness specifications, ensuring proper operation and finishes on-site.
- Quality Inspection: Third-party inspectors reference the standard when certifying product compliance or investigating flatness-related complaints.
- Product Development: Engineering teams utilize EN 952:1999 to develop improved processes and tooling that reduce flatness deviations.
- Aesthetic Evaluation: Since local flatness deviations can impact the appearance, this standard helps specifiers and clients guarantee visually acceptable results.
