Compliance Statement
Scope of Use
The Efaflex PS Series high-speed doors are designed for use in parking structures to provide secure, efficient, and durable access. These doors are intended for applications in multi-level car parks, underground parking facilities, and other high-traffic environments requiring rapid operation and controlled access. They are suitable for both interior and exterior use, provided environmental factors such as wind exposure and temperature fluctuations are considered when selecting the appropriate model. The PS Series is compatible with access control and automation systems, enhancing operational efficiency. Restrictions include the requirement for proper structural framing and adherence to manufacturer installation guidelines. For optimal performance, use in locations exposed to extreme environmental conditions may require additional customization or specific model selection. Compliance with NZBC Clauses B2, C3, and D1 ensures durability, fire safety, and accessibility.

Evidence
The product meets the requirements set out in the following documents, or relevant parts of cited standards within the documents:
The Efaflex high-speed parking system doors meet New Zealand Building Code requirements under Clauses B2, C3, and D1.
For Clause B2 – Durability, the doors are constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, including galvanized steel and durable PVC, ensuring a lifespan exceeding 15 years under normal conditions. This durability aligns with NZBC requirements for materials to maintain performance over time in high-traffic and exposed environments.
Under Clause C3 – Fire Protection, the doors incorporate fire-resistant materials compliant with DIN EN flame retardancy standards, helping to mitigate fire spread to adjacent areas when installed and maintained according to manufacturer instructions.
Regarding Clause D1 – Access Routes, the doors are designed to enable safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian movement, with features such as automated operation, rapid opening and closing speeds, and integrated safety sensors. These elements ensure compliance with D1/AS1 for accessibility and usability in parking structures.
Design requirements
The Efaflex PS Series doors must be sized accurately to fit structural openings and supported by appropriate framing to ensure stability and smooth operation. Integration with building systems, including access control, automation, and ventilation, should be prioritized for optimized functionality. Environmental factors such as exposure to wind, temperature variations, and potential contaminants should inform model selection to maintain performance and durability. Sufficient clearance must be allowed for the door’s rapid opening and closing mechanisms, and compatibility with adjacent materials should be assessed to prevent wear or damage. Consider fire resistance and durability requirements in design, ensuring compliance with NZBC Clauses C3 and B2, particularly for high-traffic or exposed locations. Proper integration with pedestrian and vehicle access routes ensures safety and efficient flow, adhering to D1 requirements.
Installation requirements
EFAFLEX Parking Series high-speed spiral doors should be installed by qualified technicians experienced in high-speed industrial doors. Installation involves securely mounting the frame, connecting and testing electrical components, and calibrating sensors. Adherence to manufacturer instructions, correct tool usage, and precise alignment are essential to prevent operational issues. Installation should take place in stable temperature and humidity conditions to avoid misalignment or material expansion. Ensuring proper calibration of sensors and components minimizes performance issues and maintains safety in temperature-sensitive applications.
Maintenance requirements
Preventative maintenance is suggested in accordance with Efaflex’s maintenance schedules to ensure durability and optimal performance. Recommended tasks include regular visual inspections, cleaning, and checks on wear-sensitive parts like seals and sensors. Adjustments to door tension and recalibration of automation features help prevent issues in high-use environments. Key components, such as springs, electrical connections, and safety edges, should be inspected periodically, with replacements as necessary to maintain longevity and functionality. Efaflex can recommend a qualified contractor to perform these tasks and keep detailed records to support NZBC Clause B2 compliance and ensure reliable door operation.
