A.10 Emergency exit devices are not intended for use on double action (double swing) doors
unless specically designed by the exit device producer.
A.11 The xing instructions should be carefully followed during installation. These instructions
and any maintenance instructions should be passed on by the installer to the user. See Annex C
A.12 The operating element should normally be installed at a height of between 900mm and
1100mm from the nished oor level, when the door is in the secured position. Where it is known
that the majority of the users of the premises will be young children, consideration should be
given to reducing the height of the operating element.
A.13 When installing lever operating emergency exit devices, particularly on doors with raised or
recessed surfaces, consideration should be given to minimizing any potential safety risks, such
as the trapping of ngers or clothing.
A.14 The bolt heads and keepers should be tted to provide secure engagement. Care should be
taken to ensure that no projection of the bolt heads, when in the withdrawn position, can prevent
the door swinging freely.
A.15 Where emergency exit devices are to be tted to double door sets with rebated meeting
stiles and self closing devices, a door coordinator device in accordance with EN 1158 (See
Bibliography) should be tted to ensure the correct closing sequence of the doors. This
recommendation is particularly important with regard to smoke/re-resisting door assemblies.
A.16 No devices for securing the door in the closed position should be tted other than specied
in this European Standard. This does not preclude the installation of self-closing devices.
A.17 If a door closing device is to be used to return the door to the closed position, care should
be taken not to impair the use of the doorway by the young, elderly and inrm.
A.18 Any keepers or protection plates provided should be tted in order to ensure compliance
with this European Standard.
A.19 A sign which reads “Rotate handle to open” or “Push to open” as appropriate, or a
pictogram should be provided on the inside face of the door immediately above the operating
element or on the operating element if it has a sufcient at face to take the size of lettering
required.
For type “B” emergency exit devices intended for use on inwardly opening exit doors, a sign
which reads “Rotate handle and pull to open” or “Pull to open” or a pictogram should be
provided on the inside face of the door immediately above or on pull pad if it has a sufcient at
face to take the size of lettering required. The surface area of the pictogram should be not less
than 8000mm² and its colours should be white on a green background. It should be designed
such that the arrow points to the operating element, when installed.
