Standards Australia
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric drives for horizontally and
vertically moving gates, doors, garage doors and windows for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives. It also covers the hazards associated with the movement of the driven part.
Battery-operated drives and other d.c. supplied drives are within the scope of this standard.
Dual supply drives, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as batteryoperated
drives when operated in the battery mode.
Drives not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as drives intended to be used by laymen in shops, offices, hotels,
restaurants, hospitals, in industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
Requirements for drives for doors that may be used in emergency routes and exits are given
in Annex AA.

– folding doors;
– revolving doors;
– rolling doors;
– roof windows;
