This European Standard specifies requirements for the manufacture, performance and testing of panic exit
devices mechanically operated by either a horizontal push-bar or a horizontal touch-bar, specifically
designed for use in a panic situation on escape routes.
The suitability of a panic exit device for use on fire/smoke resisting door assemblies is determined by fire
performance tests conducted in addition to the performance tests required by this European Standard.
Annex B indicates additional requirements for these products.
This European Standard covers panic exit devices which are either manufactured and placed on the
market in their entirety by one producer or produced by more than one producer and subsequently placed
on the market as a kit in a single transaction.
