Amendments issued since publication

This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 1158:1997, including amendment A1:2002 and Corrigendum February 2006, published bythe European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

The start and finish of text introduced or altered by CEN amendment A1 is indicated in the text by tags !"

EN 1158:1997 (as amended) is a candidate “harmonized” European Standard and fully takes into account the requirements of the European Commission mandate

M/101, Doors, windows, shutters, gates and related hardware, given under the EU

Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC), and intended to lead to CE marking The date of applicability of EN 1158:1997 (as amended) as a

“harmonized” European Standard, i.e the date after which this standard may be

used for CE marking purposes, is subject to an announcement in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

The Commission in consultation with Member States have agreed a transition period for the co-existence of “harmonized” European Standards and their corresponding national standard(s) It is intended that this period will comprise

a period, usually nine months, after the date of availability of the European Standard, during which any required changes to national regulations are to be made, followed by a further period, usually twelve months, for the

implementation of CE marking At the end of this co-existence period, the national standard(s) will be withdrawn

Since BS EN 1158:1997 is the current national standard the changes introduced

by amendment no 1 may be implemented from nine months after publication.Based on this normal transition period of twenty-one months, BS EN 1158:1997 (as amended) would be fully effective in September 2004

NOTE This date is approximate Users of this standard should contact BSI Customer Services for confirmation of withdrawal.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee

B/538, Doors, windows, shutters, hardware and curtain walling, to its Subcommittee B/538/4, Building hardware, which has the responsibility to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;

— present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries

on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep UK interests informed;

— monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request

to its Secretary

1 Scope

!This European Standard specifies requirements for the following door coordinator devices for use on double leaf swing doors:

— separately mounted door coordinator devices;

— coordinator mechanisms incorporated in door closers;

— coordinator mechanisms incorporated in door closers with electrically powered hold-open devices."Door coordinator devices are used where it is necessary to ensure the correct sequence of closing of double leaf swing doors, for example doors with rebated meeting stiles

Door coordinator devices manufactured in accordance with this European Standard are recommended for use wherever there is a requirement for reliable sequential closing of double leaf swing fire/smoke doors incorporating rebated meeting stiles

Door coordinator devices for use on fire/smoke doors need additional attributes in order to contribute actively to meeting the essential requirements of safety in case of fire, either independently or as part of a complete door assembly

These additional requirements for door coordinator devices for use on a fire/smoke door assembly are specified in normative Annex A

!Door closing devices are covered by EN 1154

Electrically powered hold-open devices are covered by EN 1155."

4 Classification

For the purposes of this European Standard, door coordinator devices shall be classified according to the following 6 digit coding system:

4.2 Category of use (first digit)

Only one category of use is identified for door coordinator devices:

— grade 3: for all internal and external doors for use by the public, and others, with little incentive to take care, i.e where there is some chance of misuse of the door

4.3 !Durability (second digit)"

!Two test durations are identified for door coordinator devices manufactured to this European Standard:

— grade 8 – 500 000 test cycles for door coordinator devices incorporated in, or for use in conjunction

with, automatic swing door operators [see 5.2.5c)];

— grade 5 – 50 000 test cycles for all other door coordinator devices [see 5.2.5a)] and also for door

coordinator devices having parts moving in conjunction with the operation of the active

leaf [see 5.2.5b)]."

4.4 !Door coordinator size (third digit)"

!Five door coordinator sizes and related recommended door leaf widths are identified according to Table 1 of this European Standard."

Where a door coordinator device is suitable for a range of door closer power sizes, both the minimum and maximum sizes shall be identified

!Text deleted"

4.5 !Suitability for use on fire/smoke doors (fourth digit)"

Two grades of !suitability for fire/smoke compartmentation doors" are identified for door coordinator devices manufactured to this European Standard:

— grade 0: not suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies;

— grade 1: suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies, subject to satisfactory assessment of the contribution of the door coordinator device to the fire resistance of specified fire/smoke door assemblies Such assessment is outside the scope of this European Standard (see prEN 1634-1)

!Annex A indicates additional requirements for door coordinator devices manufactured to grade 1."

4.6 Safety (fifth digit)

All door coordinator devices are required to satisfy the essential requirement of safety in use Therefore only grade 1 is identified

4.7 Corrosion resistance (sixth digit)

Five grades of corrosion resistance are identified in accordance with !EN 1670":

— grade 0: no defined corrosion resistance;

— grade 1: mild resistance;

— grade 2: moderate resistance;

— grade 3: high resistance;

— grade 4: very high resistance

!4.8 Example of classification

The following marking denotes a door coordinator with a category of use — grade 3, with durability grade 8, suitable for use in conjunction with automatic swing door operators, with a door closer power size range from size 4 to size 6, not suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies, with safety grade 1 and with no defined corrosion resistance

7.2.2 Test door adjustment

Install the door closers on the test door leaves in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions Adjust the door closer regulators such that the inactive leaf closes smoothly from 90° to fully closed within 5 s to

7 s Adjust the closing time of the active leaf from 90° to the fully closed position approximately 1 s faster than the closing time of the inactive leaf Ensure that the active leaf always closes faster than the inactive leaf

7.2.3 Installation

Install the door coordinator device according to the manufacturer’s standard installation instructions.Select the carry bar type as recommended by the manufacturer of the door coordinator device and install

in accordance with his instructions

7.2.4 Overload performance test

by the door coordinator device Secure the inactive leaf at not less than 80° open Slowly apply a 300 Nm closing moment to the active leaf for 5 s to 6 s and verify that no damage is caused

Certain door coordinator devices can contain release elements which operate in the case of overload Closing under these conditions is not interpreted as damage or failure

7.2.5 Manipulation test

Close the active leaf by manually operating the mechanism of the door coordinator device Release the inactive leaf to allow deliberate miscoordination of the leaves

Open the active leaf to at least 40°, in a time of between 2 s and 4 s, and release, allowing the door leaves

to close under the control of the door closers Verify that the correct sequence of closing of both door leaves

is achieved by the door coordinator device

Continue cycling to a total of 25 000 test cycles

7.2.7.3 Set up the test apparatus to first open the active leaf smoothly to 90° in a time of 2 s to 3 s, followed

by opening the inactive leaf, also to 90° in a time of 2 s to 3 s

waiting position for not less than 0,5 s, before being released by the inactive leaf through the door

coordinator device

Continue cycling to a total of 50 000 test cycles

!7.2.7.4 For grade 5 door coordinator devices having parts moving in conjunction with the active leaf, set

up to the test apparatus to open only the active leaf smoothly to 90° in a time of 2 s to 3 s
