Standards this line is built to
The designations below are cited by the products on this page. A specification is written in these, not in product names, so each one is set out with what it governs. Progress Horizon Trading supplies this line as an authorized distributor across Saudi Arabia.
UL 305
Panic hardware: the North American listing for exit devices, the counterpart to EN 1125.
UL 10C
The positive pressure fire test for door assemblies. Positive pressure drives hot gas through any gap between door and frame, which makes it the more demanding test and the one North American codes now call for.
NFPA 80
Not a test but a compliance standard: how fire doors are installed, inspected and maintained, including the annual inspection and the requirement that every fire door self-closes and positively latches.
NFPA 101
The Life Safety Code: egress width, travel distance and door operation on an escape route.
ADA 2010 Standards
The American accessible design requirements as they apply to an opening: clear width, maximum opening force, and hardware that works without tight grasping or twisting.
EN 1125
Panic exit devices operated by a horizontal bar, for escape routes used by the public, where people may not know the building.
EN 179
Emergency exit devices operated by a lever handle or push pad, for routes used by people familiar with the building.
EN 1634-1
The European fire resistance test for door and shutter assemblies, and the basis for CE marking a fire door. Built on a different pressure regime from UL 10C, so the two ratings are not interchangeable.

EN 1154
Controlled door closing devices: closer power size, and the closing behaviour a fire door depends on to latch every time.
EN 13637
Electrically controlled exit systems on escape routes: the standard for holding an escape door closed under access control without trapping anyone.
