# of 20 July 2015

# on the publication with a restriction in the *Official Journal of the European Union* of the reference of standard EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011 on industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates under Directive                        2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council                     

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending                           Directive 95/16/EC(1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,                        

Having regard to the opinion of the committee established by Article 22 of the Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European                           Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC                           and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the                           European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European                           Parliament and of the Council(2),                        

Whereas:

(1)Where a national standard transposing a harmonised standard, the reference of which has been published in the *Official Journal of the European Union*, covers one or more essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC, the machine built                              in accordance with this standard is presumed to meet the essential health and safety requirements concerned.

(2)In November 2012, the United Kingdom updated its previous formal objection made in December 2010 in respect of standard EN                              12635:2002+A1:2008 ‘Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates — Installation and use’ by adding EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011                              ‘Industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates — Product standard — Part 1: Products without fire resistance or smoke                              control characteristics’ proposed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to be harmonized under Directive 2006/42/EC                              and which was first published in the *Official Journal of the European Union* on 18 November 2011(3).

(3)The ground of this formal objection is based on the failure of the referenced standards EN 12453:2000 — ‘Industrial, commercial                              and garage doors and gates — Safety in use of powered operated doors — Requirements’ mentioned in points 4.2.2 Force for manual                              operation, 4.2.6 Protection against cutting, 4.3.2 Protection against crushing, shearing and drawing-in, 4.3.3 Operating forces,                              4.3.4 Electrical safety and 4.3.6 Alternative requirements, and EN 12445:2000 ‘Industrial, commercial and garage doors and                              gates — Safety in use of power operated doors — Test methods’ mentioned in clause point 4.3.3 Operating forces, to comply                              with the essential health and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC.

(4)Having examined the standard EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011 together with the representatives of the committee established by Article                              22 of Directive 2006/42/EC, the Commission concluded that the standard fails to meet the essential health and safety requirements                              provided for in points 1.3.7 Moving parts and 1.4.3 Protective devices of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC, ascribed to the                              referenced standard EN 12453:2000 and EN 12445:2000.

(5)Taking into consideration the need to improve the safety aspects of standard EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011 and pending a suitable                              revision of that standard, the publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union* of the reference of the standard EN 13241-1:2003+A1:2011 should be accompanied by an appropriate warning.
