CE marking has been available for exterior, commercial and industrial doorsets for almost 10 years. It allows the free movement of these products within the European Union. However, for the time being the CE marking is not available for internal doorsets due to the fact that the product standard EN 14351-2 for these elements has not been published in the OJEU.
Due to the revision of the Construction Product Regulation and the work initiated by the European Commission, the standardisation work concerning this standard has been delayed. Discussions are underway to modify the global structure of product standards EN 14351-1 (windows and external pedestrian doorsets), EN 14351-2 (internal pedestrian doorsets), EN 13241 (industrial and commercial doors) and EN 16034 (fire-resistant doorsets).
Ultimately, the aim is to merge fire resistance performance with other requirements to create a product standard for each type of element:
- A standard for pedestrian doorsets: merge standards EN 14351-1 (excluding windows), EN 14351-2 and EN 16034
- A standard for windows: merge EN 14351-1 (except doors) and EN 16034
- A standard for fire resistant industrial doors: merge of EN 13241 (except gates) and EN 16034
- A standard for non-fire resistant industrial doors: EN 13241 base (partial)
We will keep you informed of the progress of this work and remain at your disposal for any request related to the certification or qualification of your fire-resistant products.
