13、to the possibility that some of the elements of this document maybe the subject ofpatent rights.CEN and/or CENELEC shall not beheld responsible for identifying any or all suchpatent rights. Europe has a population of 800 million of whom over 1 00 million are children and elderly people and50 million
14、 are declared asdisabled (the latter figure includes many people who are alsoelderly). The European Union has 77 million elderly people and 43 million people registered as disabled. Theseconsumers with special needs constitute a major (and growing) part of the populationwho daily comeinto contact wi
15、th the numerous barriers that exist in and outside of buildings. This European guidance document aims to help designers, specifiers and building managers orowners to identifyand include the needs of children, elderly and disabled persons, by enabling peoplewith low physical strength, dexterityand ma
16、nipulativeimpairment, to be able to open, close and lockdoors.It includes general guidelines for selecting hardware products and guid elines for product specifications. It also includes the following annexes: Annex A - Guidelines for suitability assessment of hardware products; Annex B Guidelines fo
17、r hardware product specification.Ultimately the intention of this guidance document is to make existing hardware products andstandards more suitable with regard to their use by children, the eld erly and disabled. NOTE If needed, these guidelinesmay be included as informative annexes in future revis
18、ions of suitablehardware product standards.PD CEN/TR 15894:2009CEN/TR 15894:2009 (E)4 Introduction The essential function of building hardware is to provide easyaccess to all users regardless of theirabilityor disability. Doors should be of a minimum clear opening width to accommodate wheelchairsand
19、 should be easyto use. For example, this requires low friction hinges and carefully selected doorcontrols, possiblyusing low energy door operators, powered or automatic operatorsorelectromagnetic devices.The correct choice of door furniture with easy-to-use locking systems and good signage all add u
20、p toan acceptable combination. Generally, this is no more thanwould be asked of any responsiblespecification. This guide is intended to enable installers to correctly follow building specifications and to make sure that buildings are correctly equipped for their intended use.One of the main challeng
21、es to specifiers , architects, manufacturers and builders is to ensure that thespecification, design and construction do not result in the environment of an elderly or disabledperson appearing different from the rest of the community.This European guidance document is people-based and it is essentia
22、l that specifiers r ecognize thatthe individual needs of users can vary. Users should be consulted frequentlyin the specification and installation processes. The specification should recognize that buildings are often occupied by non-disabled and younger people, as well as elderly and disabled peopl
23、e. Similarly, these members of the community need to move freely and safely in the wider environment.Where dimensions/measurements are given for guidance purposes, they are subject to the tolerancesincorporated in any appropriateproduct or construction standard. National regulations,whereapplicable,
24、 should take precedence.It is recognized that local regulations and certain types of door construction (such asaluminium)mayprevent specifiers from achieving all the recommendations in this do cument. In these circumstances, the needs of the building occupants should be considered and the best possi
25、ble compromise should be achieved.This European guidancedocument refers to the following mandates: M/273-ICT, M/283-Elderly and Disabled, M/292-Product information, M/293-Child safety and CEN Guide 6.This European guidance document does not refer to EN 1 221 7 which contains selected maximumoperatin
26、g forces considered unsuitable for children, elderly and disabled people to use and does nottake into consideration doors fitted with emergencyand panic exit devices and systems, or doorclosing devices.PD CEN/TR 15894:2009CEN/TR 15894:2009 (E)5 1 ScopeThis European guidance document provides guidanc
27、e on the selection of existing building hardwareformanually and power operated pedestrian doors and associated products whose integration intothe design of buildings willmake themmore safe, secure and convenient for the occupants in clusiveof children, elderly and disabled people to use (“design for
28、 all“). Although it isintended for people withreduced physical and sensorial capabilities, it maynot cover all specific individual needs. For example, it may not cover all needs of blind people or those not able to move unassisted. 2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispe

34、Select suitable product to be specified for intended application.5 Guidelines for selecting hardware products 5.1 General The objectivewith this partof the document is to help specifiers assess what the application requires. It provides guidelines for selecting hardware products. Specifiers should b
35、e aware that building hardware standards cover onlyhardware products and donot specify maximummanual operating forces for the complete door. The door manufacturers should inform the market about the test re sults for the forces to operate the hardware in their doorconstruction, for example to open/c
36、lose doors and to engage/release and lock/unlock the hardwareusing a key or handle.5.2 BuildingcategoryFor selecting hardware products, specifiers should define the purpose of the building such as: residential, commercial, industrial, public building, etc.; location of the door: internal door, exter
37、nal door; alternative use, day and night use, use byvarious groups, etc.5.3Purpose of the doorFor selecting hardware products, specifiers should define the purpose of the door, such as: fire/smokeresistance; burglar resistance; access/egress/flow control; thermal insulation, energy saving, etc.; win
38、d/water penetration resistance; noisereduction; smell reduction; light reduction.5.4Interface between users and doorFor selecting hardware products, specifiers should define the interface betweenusers and the door.The following types of user should be taken into account: all public; children;PD CEN/
39、TR 15894:2009CEN/TR 15894:2009 (E)7 elderly; mobilityimpaired.For selecting hardware pr oducts, specifiers should also define the limitation on ability to operate the hardware, such as: height/reach restriction (applies mainlyto children); strength/grip restriction; mental restriction (relates to “m
40、ental age”); one hand only; no hands; sight impairment; hearing impairment; confined to wheelchair (manually operated or powered). 5.5 Product functionsAlthough the ergonomic functionis the primary concern for children, elderlyand disabled people(C.E.D.), other functions are particularly important a
41、nd should also be provided by the products tomeet other users needs with regards to: convenience : ergonomics, usage and durability, privacy, aesthetic design, see-through, etc.; safety : escape and ability to release in case of emergency and panic situations, self closing andsafety in case of fire,
42、 safety in use or risk o f injury, personal safety; security: protection against burglaryorattack, from inside/both sides, access/flow control, protection against vandalism, abuse, etc.5.6Economic aspectsWhen considering economic aspects of a product specification, it is important to take into accou
43、nt thefollowings factors: cost of product; cost of installation; cost ofmaintenance (all costs to maintain intended product functions).Where conflicting aspects may affect a product specification, alternative solutions should beconsidered according to a priorityorder. As an example, one may consider
44、 the following priority order:1 )escape and ability to release in case of emergency and panic situations;2) self closing and safetyin case of fire; 3) risk of injury;PD CEN/TR 15894:2009CEN/TR 15894:2009 (E)8 4) personal safety;5) ergonomics;6) protection against burglary;7) access/flow control;8) p

48、roduct group.PD CEN/TR 15894:2009CEN/TR 15894:2009 (E)9 Annex A(informative)Guidelines for suitability assessment of hardware products A.1 GeneralThere are three basic areas to consider. Who has to use the door, or “Interface between users and door”? What is the reason for the door, or “Purpose of d
49、oor”? What functions are expected of the door and/or its fittings, or “Additional f unctions”?Furthermore, these areas can be examined under two headings: 1 . what the intended application requires;2. what the product offers. Items 1 and 2 can then be compared to determine the suitability of a product for a particularapplication. This is described in more detail below.NOTE The risk assessment is part of the evaluation and should be used to determine the priority order. A.2What the intended application requ
