Regulations introduced in January 2012 (BSENs) recommend that all gate installations have to be force tested, to ensure compliance to the new rules.
Although these regulations are not a lawful requirement, we do test and record every new installation.
The regulations also state that all gate installations should be tested annually.
Most systems can be made compliant, with the addition of safety features ; Indeed any additional protection / safety added to old systems can only help to improve the safety of them.
