Shutter Safety brakes, anti fall back devices for vertically acting door fall back protection
Vertically moving door leaves should achieve static balance such that:
Vertically moving doors should be protected against failure of vulnerable balancing system components.
Some structures within the suspension system can be considered to be resistant to failure provided they achieve the design strength of EN 12604
Other more vulnerable elements such as springs, cables, drive chains, gears, functional brakes (used to stop doors in normal use), should be provided with a back up system.
The protection should be effective that in the event of failure of any one single vulnerable balancing component
Construction Products Regulation (Legal Requirement)
Since July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation has required that before new doors are placed on the market for the first time they must be type tested for fall-back protection and bear a CE label that explains that it has passed testing for Safe Opening (Fall back protection).
Where the door is correctly CE marked and it can be confirmed that the door has not been modified since manufacture, it is normally safe to assume that fall back protection is adequate unless there are obvious defects.
