It is your legal responsibility at all times to ensure the safety and correct operation of your electric gate system.
Over the last few years, we have all regretfully seen the unfortunate incidents where children have been fatally injured and crushed by sliding and swing gate automation systems that were used whilst dangerously unsafe.

If your installation has been installed for over 5 years, there is a possibility that the system may not be compliant
with current Health and Safety requirements and may need to have additional safety detection devices installed.

Does your existing gate automation system have the following legal requirements ?

·         Does your gate system have a current force test certificate
·         Does your gate system have any force limitation in operation
·         Does your gate system produce in excess of 150 Newton force at the closing edge
·         Does your gate system produce in excess of 1400 Newton force at any point of operation

If your electric gate system is found to be unsafe, we will advise you accordingly of the options available to you.
There is a number of additional options and safety devices that can be added to your existing gate system that will then ensure that your system has achieved full health and safety compliance and receive a certificate for it.    

Electric Gate Safety Testing : BS EN12453

PSE Security Services Ltd can carry out a full health and safety inspection of any automatic gate systems.
We have the specialist test equipment that is required to carry out safety testing to BS EN 12453 Standards.

Force Testing is a legal requirement that applies to all Domestic, Commercial & Industrial Automation Systems.

The specialist test instrument meter called a Leonardo Tester. This very expensive test instrument also known as a Force Tester, It is used to perform a series of measurements and to take various force and impact readings from the moving gates against an obstacle, gate post or pillar.

A series of safety tests are carried out by the force test meter, this can be anything from a minimum of 10 tests to over 27 tests per installation. Once all of the required tests have been carried out, the readings are analysed with special computer software to determine if it gives a PASS or FAIL test result.

Our electric gate engineers have been factory trained to to use the required test equipment and are qualified to issue safety certificates based on their up-to-date knowledge of the Health and Safety Executive’s guidelines,
This includes the regulations: BS EN 12453:2001, BS EN 12445:2001, BS EN 12635:2002, and BS EN 12604:2000.
 

Electric Gate Safety Overview

The Health and Safety Executive requires electric gate installers to carry out a comprehensive risk assessment of hazards to anyone using the gates prior to design and installation, and for the design to eliminate or considerably reduce any risks identified. It also requires that persons responsible for the management and maintenance of electric gates should be provided with appropriate documentation, instructions for use and training to operate and maintain the gates safely, and recommends that regular reviews or assessments should be undertaken to ensure the gates are maintained in a safe condition.

We would like to reassure customers that PSE Security Services Ltd strictly adheres to the required actions of the Health and Safety Executive and strongly encourage any private individuals or commercial organisations concerned about the safety of any existing automatic gates systems contact us to arrange a full safety inspection. We are committed to continued compliance within European safety standards and legislation. Additional safety features may need to be added to any existing systems in order to achieve compliance. Any additional safety devices required will vary for the type of system and installation environment of the the installed gates.

It is a legal requirement that all automatic gates are built to the relevant standards and carry the "CE" mark.
All automation systems provided by PSE Security Services Ltd will carry the "CE" mark and a certificate of conformity is issued for each installation along with a fully detailed force test approval certification.
