Requirements in this Standard apply to power operated doors for pedestrian use which open automatically when approached by pedestrians and some small vehicular traffic or by a knowing act. Included are provisions to reduce the chance of user injury or entrapment. Power operated doors
for industrial or trained traffic are not covered in this Standard.
This publication was created by BHMA (Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association) in July 2011. It has 33 pages.
This Standard establishes performance requirements for bored and preassembled locks and latches, and includes cycle tests, strength tests, operational tests, security tests, material evaluation tests, finish tests, and dimensional criteria.
Tests described in this Standard are performed under laboratory conditions. In actual usage, results vary because of installation, door and frame construction, maintenance and environmental conditions.
Manufacturers shall indicate the Grade level of their locks. Locks shall meet all tests for their grade listing. A Grade 1 lock shall meet all Grade 1 criteria, a Grade 2 lock shall meet all Grade 2 criteria, and a Grade 3 lock shall meet all Grade 3 criteria.
BHMA (Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association) published this directory of certified builder products. Edition published in 2009, total of 368 pages.
The Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) Certification Program was developed as a means for producers of builders hardware to indicate compliance with American National Standards sponsored by BHMA. Participating manufacturers certify compliance with the standards based on a continuing program of passing the prescribed tests. The sponsored American National Standards listed in this directory are performance oriented standards having cycle, functional, strength, security, and finish test requirements. Third party testing is performed by a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory. The program is open to all manufacturers of builders hardware whether or not they are members of BHMA.
The directory of Certified products is printed once a year, each edition superceding the previous edition. The effective date is displayed on the cover. Updates, which may be required during the year in the event additional products are certified, any listed products are decertified, or new licensees enter the program, are shown on the BHMA website only (www.buildershardware.com).
A system of type number descriptions is provided in the Standards for each product. For convenience, a brief summary of the types is provided in this directory. Listees are permitted to certify models which are slightly different than the published types, provided they describe the features in the directory, and the model meets all other applicable requirements of the standard.
Available in both printed and PDF version.
