The DHF TS 013 Standard

The measurements points required in the DHF TS 013 standard are very similar to the ones of the EN 12453 regulation, however some measurements that are to be taken on automatic gates have been simplified. Only four kinds of gates are considered:

-Sliding
-Swing & folding
-Road barriers

The swing gate, like the folding gate, requires only 7 measurements in the 3 indicated points H and at fixed distances D. (see image). Despite the simplification of the impact force measurements, the DHF TS 013 standard (previous 011), describes carefully the controls on the safety concerning the mechanic of gates and doors (hinges, heights, protrusions) and the impact/entrapment hazards in the leaves of the gate. The regulation DHF TS 013 (previous 012), is the reference standard for power operated doors. Also in this case the number of measurements has been reduced if compared with the ones required by the European regulation EN 12453. For example, for the horizontally moving doors are required 7 test positions, and in the vertically moving only 3.
