Building hardware - Door fittings for use by children, elderly and disabled people in domestic and public buildings - A guide for specifiers

Scope

This European guidance document provides guidance on the selection of existing building hardware for manually and power operated pedestrian doors and associated products whose integration into the design of buildings will make them more safe, secure and convenient for the occupants inclusive of children, elderly and disabled people to use ("design for all"). Although it is intended for people with reduced physical and sensorial capabilities, it may not cover all specific individual needs. For example, it may not cover all needs of blind people or those not able to move unassisted.
