This document covers hinged/pivoted and sliding doorsets with engaging fasteners (e.g. latches, deadbolts) for pedestrian use. It defines the test methods to determine the forces to open/close doors and to engage/release and lock/unlock the building hardware using a key or handle. It is only applicable to the manual operation of doorsets. These doorsets can include: — emergency or panic exit devices; — door closing devices. NOTE The use of some windows involves engaging fasteners (e.g. latches, deadbolts) and can be tested in accordance with this document. Throughout the text where “door leaf”/”door leaves” is written this can also be read as “casements”/”sashes”.
