Electrically controlled escape door systems in accordance with SN EN 13637 are increasingly forming part of the security system in buildings. Electric locks and controls are also being used ever more frequently. These electrically controlled escape door systems offer increased security against misuse. Using tested components in accordance with SN EN 13637, the flow of people can be controlled in both directions. Depending on the equipment, these systems are suitable for escape doors with panic and emergency exit function. Electrically controlled escape door systems enable safe and effective opening of the locked doors with a maximum of two actuations for release.
Delayed release and release blocking are available as new functions. SN EN 13637 outlines additional conditions here. However, these functions must be approved by the responsible authorities.
The requirements apply, regardless of whether or not people are present in the building. For safety reasons, the entire additional functions of the system, such as connection to the access control, must comply with the principle of failsafe release at all times (failsafe principle during release).
Electrically controlled escape door systems consist at least of the following elements, individually or combined:
Technical structure
Technically independent components
Technically dependent components
Electric lock without escape door lock
IMPORTANT: This version is not permitted for doors that have to fulfil additional fire and/or smoke protection requirements.
