• Clause D1 Access routes: Performance D1.3.1(b), D1.3.3(a), D1.3.3(n)
  • D1.3.1(b), D1.3.3(a), (n): Safe and accessible entry is provided through wide openings, automatic operation with obstacle detection, and smooth manual operation. The doors meet the safety and usability criteria outlined in EN 13241.

• Clause E2 External moisture: Performance E2.3.2, E2.3.3
  • E2.3.2, E2.3.3: Weatherproof seals prevent water ingress and moisture transfer, tested under EN 12425 (air permeability) and EN 12426 (water tightness). These features ensure long-term resistance to environmental moisture.

• Clause E3 Internal moisture: Performance E3.3.1
  • E3.3.1: The doors’ thermally insulated panels and precision sealing systems limit condensation and moisture buildup, promoting internal environmental stability. Testing adheres to EN 13241 guidelines.

• Clause G4 Ventilation: Performance G4.3.2
  • G4.3.2: Airtight construction supports ventilation systems by minimizing unwanted air leakage, verified through EN 12425 testing for air permeability.

• Clause G5 Interior environment: Performance G5.3.1
  • G5.3.1: Soundproofing properties and natural light transmission enhance temperature, light, and acoustic comfort. These features align with EN 13241 performance standards for interior environments.

• Clause H1 Energy efficiency : Performance H1.3.1(a), H1.3.1(b), H1.3.6(a), H1.3.6(b)
  • H1.3.1(a), (b), H1.3.6(a), (b): Thermal resistance is demonstrated by U-values as low as 0.49 W/m²K (ISO 80), tested under ISO 10077-1. Airtight construction limits uncontrollable airflow, ensuring efficient energy use. The design enables ongoing maintenance to sustain energy efficiency.
