MLA EXPO PREVIEW
This CPD , approved by RIBA , explores the compliance and fundamental requirements surrounding the process of incorporating access control systems in commercial buildings . This also includes the electric locking options available , and how to design standard compliant access control systems .
Delegates also learn how to ensure that electric locking specifications meet the requirement of both fire door and escape door legislation . This includes :
• BS EN 179 Emergency Escape ( for when the building occupants are aware of the building environment )
• BS EN 1125 Panic Escape ( for environments used by the general public )
• BS EN 13637 Electronically Controlled Escape Systems ( for use on escape routes ).
To put it simply , these standards dictate that even if a door is electronically controlled , it must still function compliantly as a mechanical means of escape should an emergency arise . This allows the fire doors perform fully , providing fire protection , compartmentalising a building and protecting the escape routes .
In addition to free resources and training courses , Abloy UK also offers a range of compliant security product packages and integratable access control systems . These are specifically designed for panic and escape doors , combining a mix of electric locks - includes motor and solenoid locks . These act as the most effective forms of electric locking and adhere to the mandatory fire and escape standards .
