As a manufacturer the only way SWS UK can place a product on the market LEGALLY is to comply with current UK & European legislation. This applies equally to all other manufacturers / suppliers in our industry. |
Having achieved compliance, SWS UK and our customers / installers are now protected from being prosecuted where an incident occurs and the enforcing authorities (Health and Safety Executive, Trading Standards etc.) undertake an investigation. This is provided the product is being used in an appropriate context and that it has been installed in accordance with our fitting instructions.
SWS UK's products not only comply with all relevant UK & European legislation but have also received 3rd party certification from a UKAS accredited test house. This provides the reassurance that our claims of compliance have been verified by a credible independent organisation.
SeceuroGlide roller garage doors are fully compliant to BS EN 13241-1 (Industrial, Commercial, Garage Doors and Gates: - Product Standard) and CE marked against the Construction Products Directive and also the Machinery Directive, a mandatory requirement in the UK.
For remote control roller doors, fitted with a single phase tubular motor, the Standard (BS EN 12453 - Safety in use Power Operated Doors) calls for a Type 'C' pressure sensitive protective device “safety edge” that complies with specific force limitations. The SeceuroSmart (RT) control system is fully compliant with this standard.
SeceuroGlide roller garage doors have been tested by a notified body for windloading performance as per BS EN 12424 / 12444. SeceuroGlide have successfully met the requirements of the standard which are equivalent to storm force conditions. All SeceuroGlide have obtained a minimum of classification 2 which is the equivalent of storm force 10 on the Beaufort Scale (59mph).
