Security installations, such as swing and sliding gates, are large heavy machines with automatic moving elements. Many vehicles and people pass throug<\/span><\/b>h these every day, which is why it is vital\u00a0<\/span><\/b>that all\u00a0<\/span><\/b>of these\u00a0<\/span><\/b>safety installations comply with European safety requirements and have a CE marking.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When a manufacturer produces a new security installa<\/span>tion for the European market, the company is\u00a0<\/span>legally obliged to\u00a0<\/span>ensure the product complies\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<\/span>CE marking\u00a0<\/span>regulations<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0But how does\u00a0<\/span>the manufacturer<\/span>\u00a0ensure that the product meets all the requirements?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Obtaining CE marking<\/span>\u00a0certification<\/span>\u00a0is an extensive process.\u00a0<\/span>And so it should be,\u00a0<\/span>because it’s about the safety of yourself, your employees and\u00a0<\/span>everyone who interacts and enters your business premises<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0In short, the process goes as follows:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Risk analysis, evaluation and reduction<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first step is to identify all possible dangers and risks.\u00a0<\/span>The analysis is assessed by means of\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>riskograph<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>The manufacturer then determines which hazards\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0must\u00a0<\/span>be\u00a0<\/span>eliminate<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0and which acceptable residual risks are unavoidable.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Safe gate design<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A new gate must be safe to use. Think of\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>fixed distances to moving parts and avoiding\u00a0<\/span>any\u00a0<\/span>sharp parts. A manufacturer must also take into account issues such as wind load and mechanical stability. All these aspects\u00a0<\/span>have to be understood and specified\u00a0<\/span>by the manufacturer in a gate design.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Testing<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On paper, the design of a new gate can work well, but of course this needs to be tested intensively. The manufacturer tests the gate according to the standard of the CE markings and the requirements\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0placed<\/span>\u00a0on the product. These include durability, derailment, force measurement and wear and tear of components. Certain tests must be carried out by an independent body (notified body). Only when\u00a0<\/span>an\u00a0<\/span>independent<\/span>\u00a0test has been carried out and the product has met all of the criteria,\u00a0<\/span>will a safety certificate be issued.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Documentation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A manufacturer must record everything around the new gate in a technical construction file and keep it for at least ten years. Such as drawings, calculations, risk inventory, t<\/span>est results and declarations. The company<\/span>\u00a0will also have to provide the user with a user manual for safe use and a logbook for maintenance work.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Factory Production Control (FPC)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The manufacturer must guarantee that every\u00a0<\/span>gate<\/span>\u00a0produced according to the new design operates in the same safe manner. Therefore, in this step, the manufacturer lays down the procedures within the organisation in an FPC, a kind of quality handbook that guarantees that every product has the same level of performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. CE marking<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the manufacturer complies with all the directives and standards mentioned above and can prove it, the coveted CE marking follows. In this way, a manufacturer assures customers\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>a gate complies with the European directives on safety.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
