Periodic checks on Automatic Gates
Eco Certificazioni carries out, upon the client's request, safety inspections and verifications on automatic gates and barriers in order to evaluate the maintenance of the safety requirements pursuant to the technical standards of reference (UNI EN 14351-1 and UNI EN 13241-1) as well as verify the obligation of the CE marking according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Thanks to a high level of quality of the service, we are able to assist the ownership or those responsible for the system in order for the safety requirements of the gate, intended as machinery, to be preserved.
The standards on gate automation, updated by the European Community with Directive 98/37/EC, establishes that automatic gates must be considered as actual machinery, and as such must respect specific safety standards and therefore carry out periodic safety controls.
Various types of automation defined by the term “automatic or motorised gates”:
- sliding gates;
- gates with openable doors;
- roller shutter gates;
- overhead doors;
- sectional doors;
- automatic doors.
THE VERIFICATION CALLS FOR:
- ANALYSIS OF DOCUMENTATION.
- VERIFICATION OF CORRECT CONDITION AND MAINTENANCE.
- GENERAL CONDITIONS AND SOLIDITY OF THE STRUCTURE PRESENT IN RELATION TO THE FORCES DEVELOPED.
- FUNCTIONAL TESTS OF THE ENTIRE AUTOMATION AND OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
- VERIFICATION OF THE SAFETY DEVICES PRESENT (SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, MECHANICAL PROTECTIONS, DECALS, ETC.).
- MEASUREMENTS OF THE FORCES OF IMPACT.
For automatic gates there is also the obligation to periodically verify the correct functioning in conformity with the Machinery Directive of the Lgs. Decree 2010/17. The technical dossier and the successive controls are necessary to guarantee maximum safety of the automation and safeguard those using it in case of an accident due to its malfunctioning.
