Our dedicated service department has over ten years experience in the industry and has expertise with a wide range of automated equipment most of which are listed below. Lace Control System offer a range of maintenance contracts tailored to the customers needs. Including a full comprehensive service, our operatives strive to keep your systems in good working order and free from mechanical issues to ensure your premises stay safe and secure all year round.
To summarise the salient points relating to these legal requirements:
- in accordance with The Supply Of Machinery (Safety) Regulations, it is a requirement that the end user/customer of all industrial doors and automated systems shall establish a fully documented maintenance regime in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
- the European Community Commission has declared that all AUTOMATIC CLOSING SYSTEMS (motorised sliding gates and doors etc.) are governed by the Machine Directives 1 and must comply with the CE, EN12453 standard (and the corresponding CE, EN12445 relative to testing and measurement) determine the requirements for the automatic closing system and furnish indications as to how dangerous situations can be avoided or reduced according to the following methods:
- Respecting the safety measurements
- The minimum protection level and force limitation
- Detecting presence and using safety devices
- Resistance to breakage and failure
- documents to be handed over to the client, must contain the following:
- The operating instructions for the safe use of the system
- Normal maintenance instructions
- The declaration of approval
- The maintenance register
- it is also a requirement of British Standards (BS12453) that a bi-annual service of safety systems be carried out by a competent body.
It is, therefore, imperative that you ensure that every one of your company's sites fitted with any form of automated access equipment, without exception, is issued with a maintenance regime compliant with European Community Commission directives.
At Lace Control Systems we provide competitively priced service and maintenance contracts that will not only ensure that your company keeps on the right side of the law, but more importantly, will give you the peace of mind that your premises are protected by fully operational, maintained security and access control equipment.
