The hour-long face-to-face session will focus on the relevant legislation and explain how to overcome the challenges of balancing safety and security when planning emergency exit door installation. The comprehensive RIBA-approved CPD titled ‘BS EN 13637 Electrically controlled emergency exit systems’ is the latest addition to dormakaba’s portfolio of educational sessions aimed at supporting planners, architects, consultants and designers with the tools and resources to make informed, safe and compliant specifications. Designed to meet the required topics under RIBA’s core curriculum, the new CPD provides an in-depth overview of emergency exit doors and the challenges of balancing safety and security for buildings and their occupants. The seminar provides guidance on managing the requirements of safety and security and informs delegates on the key features and specification considerations when designing and implementing an electronically controlled emergency exit system. Crucially, it explains the requirements of EN 13637 for electrically controlled exit systems for use on escape doors and how to achieve a safe and compliant system. The session is ideal for architects and planners, consultants, facilities managers, health and safety professionals and anyone involved in ensuring fire safety. Participants can schedule a date and time that is convenient for an on site presentation of the CPD which is delivered by one of dormakaba’s technical specialists. Iain Jones, Head of Specification and Development at dormakaba UK and Ireland said: “Emergency exit systems are vital and save lives every day, making it imperative that they are specified for every project correctly. However, one of the key issues is when doors form part of an escape route which need to prevent unauthorised access and to be secured with an electrically controlled locking system. Our new CPD explains how to achieve this whilst complying with the relevant standards. “This CPD forms part of the exemplary technical support dormakaba provides its customers which includes a free design service with BIM drawings and tailored support and application advice from our Technical Sales and Service team.” dormakaba is a worldwide leading company in the access solutions market, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products and services for security and access.
