Scope

Please read the qualifying note at the end of the summary of the directive. This European Standard specifies requirements for door coordinator devices for double leaf swing doors fitted with door closers, and includes both separately mounted devices and mechanisms incorporated in door closers. Door coordinator devices are used where it is necessary to ensure the correct sequence of closing of double leaf swing doors, for example doors with rebated meeting stiles. Door coordinator devices manufactured in accordance with this European Standard are recommended for use wherever there is a requirement for reliable sequential closing of double leaf swing fire/smoke doors incorporating rebated meeting stiles. Door coordinator devices for use on fire/smoke doors need additional attributes in order to contribute actively to meeting the essential requirements of safety in case of fire, either independently or as part of a complete door assembly. These additional requirements for door coordinator devices for use on a fire/smoke door assembly are specified in normative annex A.
