Public buildings and most industrial, official and commercial buildings are generally confronted to two main problems: safety and security. TESA offers several solutions for emergency exit equipment, allowing for secure and efficient evacuations in panic or emergency situations. TESA’s product range has been certified by independent labs that meet the requirements established by the European Standard. | What can TESA’s exit panic devices offer the market? | TESA’s products have been certified according to the most demanding standards. It’s a wide offer, ranging from cost-competitive technical products to electromechanical solutions in keeping with the latest design trends. Plus they are perfectly integrated with TESA’s range of locks, cylinders and handles. |
| | | Personal safety
| Personal safety and security of goods are two main goals at the stage of development and manufacturing, looking for a stable process that guarantees a secure, controlled product. The employed materials meet the requirements that are usually demanded from these exit panic devices. One design requirement is that doors must be easily open with the minimum effort (children, elderly or disabled people…) and with no previous knowledge of the device. It will not be necessary to use a key or any other objects. |  | Integral solutions
| TESA has made a great effort to ensure that this range of exit panic devices can be installed along with an access control and electromechanical locks among other devices, thus increasing the security of goods. Our exit panic devices can be a part of an integral electromechanical solution, in those cases in which allowing for the evacuation in a panic situation is just as important as restricting access to the building.
|  | A wide range
| | TESA has a wide range of exit panic devices, always offering the customer the product that fits in best with his/her demands. Depending on the operation mode, TESA offers exit panic devices that can be operated with a push bar or a touch bar, allowing for a microswitch, motorizing, exit panic devices for the disabled, products with mortise floor strikes designed for the passage of stretchers and wheelchairs in hospitals, devices with 1, 2 or 3 anchor points, devices for mortise locks, rim devices, devices compatible with RF doors,… |  | | Exit panic devices and emergency devices | When fire occurs inside a building, very often it’s not the fire but the smoke that takes human lives, and above all it’s the panic caused by fire. For this reason it’s important to have always enough exit panic ways.
The European Comission has publicized the Harmonized Standards regarding Exit Panic Devices (EN 1125) and Emergency Devices (EN179). The purpose of the performance requirements included in the UNE EN1125 is to allow for secure and efficient evacuations through the door, with the minimum effort required from those who are not familiar with it. The UNE EN179 standard deals with devices used in emergency situations where those who must be evacuated are already familiar with the door through which the evacuation takes place. |
| Branded EC
| | The Standard for Construction Products (89/106/CEE) establishes that all products used for doors installed in emergency exits must be branded EC in order to guarantee the user’s security. For this reason, every TESA panic device has been certified, with standards way above the minimum mark established by the Standard. |
| | Guaranteed by TESA | | Our exit panic devices have been manufactured under AENOR’s “N” quality mark. All products manufactured under the “N” mark are regularly controlled and subject to random testing according to the brand’s particular set of standards and the regulations established by EN1125 or EN179. Tests are carried out under AENOR’s supervision in a lab certified by AENOR and accredited by ENAC. |
