Safety Regulations

For Accessafe UK quality is not only a certificate. In fact, quality is guaranteed in all our products. For instance, we hold the UK’s strongest standard doors in stock which are compatible with the wear and tear of daily use and are as long lasting as possible.

Every detail is designed to integrate a number of factors such as effective safety, current regulations, weight, visibility, easy assembly and endurance in extensive daily use.

Accessafe UK carry out sample pressure tests on standard components, pre-assembly of mechanic details and functionality tests on automated movable guards.

Finally, Accessafe check that every order packed contains a drawing layout, components, assembly kits and assembly instructions.

Our current list of standards we manufacture to are as follows:
