In the case of fire doors, this is essential to provide fire protection, compartmentalise a building, and protect the escape routes.<\/p>\n<p>Electric locks are a more compliant access control solution in comparison to door magnets, as magnetic systems are often not guaranteed to be fail-safe. This means that if there was an emergency, they may not allow the occupants of a building to make a quick and safe exit, which could possibly result in fatalities.<\/p>\n<h6>CE marking<\/h6>\n<p>A CE mark should be present on locking devices, confirming they comply with EU legislation. It is now a legal requirement for manufacturers of construction products in the UK to apply CE marking to items that are covered by harmonised European Norms (hEN).<\/p>\n<p>A CE mark shows that the minimum performance requirements of the product have been met; however, it is not always a sign of high quality. Alongside the CE mark, a Declaration of Performance (DoP) document has to be made available to the customer upon request.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s vital that each party \u2013 whether an architect, specifier, facilities manager or installer \u2013 takes responsibility for ensuring the correct compliant systems are in place to guarantee safe egress for the occupants of the building in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Burke, Marketing Manager, Abloy UK<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abloy.co.uk\">www.abloy.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compliant Locking Solutions Standards EN179 and EN1125 When it comes to access control in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4097,96,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alloy-uk","category-locking","category-security-technology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Locking: the standards to apply: EN179 &amp;
