Specifies functional requirements for revolving door assemblies and requirements for operational safety and durability when assembled, installed and commissioned. It applies to manual and power-operated revolving doors and revolving grates over 1000 mm high for pedestrian ingress and egress. The Standard is not intended to apply to doors for vehicular ingress and egress; vertically or horizontally opening door assemblies (roller shutters or sliding doors); revolving gates and turnstiles below 1m in height; and fire isolating or smoke-resistant doors.

This Standard sets out functional requirements for revolving door assemblies. It also includes requirements for the operational safety and durability of assembled, installed and commissioned revolving doors.NOTES:1 Alternative means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.2 Appendix B describes recommended revolving door inspection and maintenance procedures.
