Why should I look for the CE mark?

When it comes to automatic doors – whether for public access or industrial use – quality, safety, and reliability matter. That’s why European standards like EN 16005 (for pedestrian doors) and EN 12453 (for industrial doors) exist: they help ensure your doors are safe to use and built to last.

Choosing a certified product may cost slightly more up front, but it reflects a higher standard of engineering, testing, and long-term value. It also means you’re getting what you expect – not just a door, but a safe and high-quality solution.

What is the CE mark?

The CE mark is a legal requirement under the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) for all power-operated doors. It means the door has been:

  • Independently tested for safety and performance

  • Verified against harmonized standards

  • Approved for legal installation across the EU

When you choose a CE-marked door from ASSA ABLOY, you choose verified safety, compliance, and reliability.
