Approvals and safety

Approvals, standards and documents for doors and gates

Approvals for a door or gate usually come from three places: the building owner or management, the fire and life-safety rules that apply to the building, and the equipment maker's installation instructions. We help you prepare for each and we do not claim certificates we cannot show.

Where approval comes from

Three sources, three conversations

  • Building owner or managementMost towers and communities require drawings, a method statement and insurance paperwork before work starts.
  • Fire and life-safety rulesDoors on escape routes, or linked to a fire alarm, must work with the building's fire design. The consultant decides; we fit to it.
  • The maker's instructionsInstallation and settings follow the manufacturer's manual for the equipment fitted.

Standards people name

Listing a standard here describes what it covers. It is not a claim that any particular product or job meets it. Ask us what documents we can show for your equipment.

Safety in use of power-operated industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates

Safety practices we follow

  • Install to the maker's instructions
  • Test safety sensors and edges before handover
  • Show the manual release to you
  • Never disable a safety device
  • Plan escape-route doors with building management

These are working practices, not certificates.

How we handle a document request

  • We tell you what we hold

    If a document exists, we show it. If not, we say so.

  • We prepare what the building asks

    Drawings and a method statement for the job.

  • We do not invent

    No certificate, award or rating that we cannot back with paper.

Questions people ask

What approvals do I need to install an automatic gate in Dubai?
It depends on the property. Villa communities often have design rules and need management approval. Commercial buildings need building management consent. Ask your community or building manager first and tell us what they require.
Do automatic doors on an escape route need special handling?
Yes. They must work with the building's fire and life-safety design. Your consultant sets the requirement and we fit to it. We test the safety devices before handover and never switch one off to cure a nuisance fault.
Can you give me a certificate for my installation?
We give you the quote, drawings and handover record. Whether a maker's certificate exists depends on the equipment, and we say what is available.
Which standards apply to automatic pedestrian doors?
EN 16005 is the European standard for power-operated pedestrian doorsets. Ask your consultant which one applies to your project.
Can you help with a tender?
Yes. Send the document list and we reply item by item.
