INTRODUCTION
This category includes all doors whose main function is to allow vehicles to pass through. Examples include garage doors, industrial doors, etc. Grilles and metal curtains, installed on store fronts for example, fall into this category even if their main use is to allow the passage of people and not vehicles. Normative and regulatory considerations, particularly in terms of safety, make it more coherent to consider these products in the same way as vehicle doors.
All these closures are defined in numerous European standards.
