Handles for emergency exit doors – safety in emergency situations
Handles for emergency exit doors are an essential part of the safety system, ensuring a fast and intuitive exit in emergency situations. They are designed so that the door can be opened with a single action, without complicated mechanisms, ensuring safe and efficient evacuation of people.
The requirements for emergency exit doors are defined in the European building standard EN 179.
An emergency exit situation refers to conditions in which the lives of a small group of people are at risk, but the likelihood of general panic is relatively low. A typical example is a fire in an office building, where employees are familiar with evacuation routes and their equipment and will most likely leave the building in an orderly manner and without panic.
