In fact, as a socially responsible company Hoppe (UK) now offers a door closer that surpasses both requirements.
Keith Holt, Joint Managing Director of Hoppe (UK), explains: "We all understand how critical legislation is but sometimes meeting these standards can be tough".
"The AR8300, which has been independently tested, has an opening force of less than 30 Newtons for the first 30 degrees of the opening cycle and is less than 22.5 Newtons for the 30 to 60 degree portion of the cycle".
"The reduced resistance enables disabled people to gain independent access through swing doors".
"If the same door is also to be used as a fire door then it has to comply with BS EN1154".
"This standard states that the minimum closing force must be 18 Newtons meters".
"The AR8300 fulfils this criterion as well".
"This latest development is further proof of Hoppe's commitment to produce solutions that meet the increasing legislative demands on our built environment.".
