This European standard applies to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors.The standard specifies the method to be used to determine the permanent deformation caused when a vertical load is applied to an open door leaf fixed in its own door frame as part of a doorset.NOTE Such downward forces that might reasonably be expected,such as a child swinging on the handle, should neither damage,nor impair the performance of, a door.The method may also be used in respect of a door leaf submitted for test in a frame which the manufacturer considers appropriate to and typical for the intended utilization.
