Anti-panic EN 179 & EN 1125 (emergency and panic exit devices)

The anti-panic performance feature must ensure that the occupants of a building can always open the door in emergency situations. This functionality is taken into account in particular in the regulations relating to the risks of fire (fire-resistance performance feature) and panic. In fact, emergency exits are usually located along evacuation routes and it must be possible to open them quickly and easily in the direction of the evacuation.

These ’emergency exit’ doors are usually used in buildings open to the public (ERP) or public places, but also in workplaces. Our main customers for these doors include the retail sector, theatres, concert halls and cinemas, hospitals, industry, offices, etc.
Depending on the place where they are installed, emergency exits will also include other performance features: fire resistance, burglary resistance, bullet-proof, soundproof insulation, etc.

Heinen has a great deal of experience in the field of anti-panic devices, in particular thanks to the many tested and validated gripping devices we offer, as well as the possibility of combining performance features on our doors.
