Door Closer and Floor Spring Guide

Which Door Closer?

All forms of ‘controlled door closing devices’ are covered by the harmonised European standard EN 1154. This provides details on product types by use, test cycles, door mass, corrosion resistance and product performance requirements using a 6-digit classification code. Illustrated is a Product Classification Guide that will provide additional information to help select the most suitable door closer for your application.

In addition to EN 1154 door closers may have also been third party tested which provides reassurance to specifiers and authorities that all aspects of the product’s testing, assessment and manufacturing have been checked and verified. This is performed by the Certifire Scheme at Warrington and products will be labelled accordingly.

CE Mark Explained

Door closers are an important link in the control of fire and smoke and their usage can help save lives. From July 2013 it became a legal requirement for all products which are covered by a harmonised EN standard to be CE marked before they can be placed on the market. For door closing devices, EN 1154 and EN 1155 became harmonised standards across Europe and are now the standards required in order to attain CE marking. Validation of the CE mark requires the production of a Declaration of Performance (DoP) by the manufacturer.
