Automatic Door Equipment and BS EN16005

Disclaimer

John Wainwright Systems Ltd t/a JWS (the Supplier) sell Access Control and Automatic Door products on the understanding that the Purchaser and/or Installer is suitably qualified and competent to specify, install, commission and maintain the supplied equipment or is sub-contracting to a suitably qualified third party.

Furthermore goods sold by the Supplier are done so on the understanding that a relevant Risk Assessment has been conducted either directly or by a qualified third party.

As such the liability and suitability of the equipment supplied rests with the Purchaser and their agents.

Please read the following:

On April 10th 2013* the safety standard BS EN16005 (Power operated pedestrian doorsets. Safety in use. Requirements and test methods) came into force. *All new installations from this date must comply to the BS EN 16005.

Achieving Compliance

It is the Purchaser's responsibility to liaise with the Installer to ensure a relevant Risk Assessment is conducted prior to purchase & installation. Furthermore it is strongly advised that the Purchaser (and/or end-user) and the Installer enter into Preventive Maintenance Contract to ensure the equipment is correctly and routinely serviced.

Overview

Please note that BS EN16005 is the Purchasers & Installers responsibility to interpret, as such this section should be used as guidance only

JWS recommend that Door Operators must be fitted with a Fingerguard and must have additional monitored safety devices* attached. (*The door operator will do an internal test of the safety sensors before the door is allowed to move - if the test fails, then the door will only operate at low-energy mode.

2.4. Any delay or failure by JWS to object to any terms or conditions contained in any communications from the Purchaser, including the Purchaser's original order paperwork, will not be a waiver of these Conditions.

2.5. Under no circumstances shall JWS's acceptance of the Purchaser's order be construed or implied to create an obligation on JWS's part to accept, subsequent to the Contract, any additional purchase orders for any of the Goods and/or Services.

3. Price

3.1. The price of the Goods or Services ("the Price") is the price contained in JWS's non-binding quotation (or, in the case of Goods, if no price is quoted, the current list price of the Goods) and is exclusive of VAT, delivery, packaging, carriage and insurance, which may becharged.

3.2. JWS is entitled to increase the Price at any time before the Contract is accepted by JWS to reflect any increase in its costs because of any factor beyond its control or any changes in delivery dates, quantities or specifications requested by the Purchaser or any delay caused by the Purchaser's failure to provide adequate information or instructions.

4. Payment

4.1. If credit is approved accounts shall be due for payment not later 30 days after the date of invoice. Payment will otherwise be due before or on delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services.

6.2. Title to and property in the Goods does not pass to the Purchaser until JWS has received full payment of the Price (plus VAT and other applicable charges) and all other sums due to JWS from the Purchaser.
