Full title and description

St ISO 8275-2023 — Hinged or pivoted doors — Determination of the resistance to vertical load. This international standard specifies a test method to determine permanent deformation of a vertically hinged or pivoted door leaf when a vertical load is applied while the leaf is fixed in its frame (door set).

Abstract

This document defines the method for applying a vertical load to an open door leaf fixed in its frame and for measuring the resulting permanent deformation. It is applicable to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors and may be used with door leaves tested in a representative frame selected by the manufacturer.

Scope

The scope covers the procedure for determining the resistance of hinged or pivoted door leaves to vertical loading and the measurement of any permanent deformation produced by that loading. The method applies to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors and can be performed on a door leaf in a frame deemed representative of intended use by the manufacturer.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of specimen configuration: door leaf fixed in its own frame (door set) or a representative frame chosen by the manufacturer.
• Procedure for applying a specified vertical load to an open door leaf.
• Measurement method for permanent deformation after load removal and criteria for acceptance.
• Applicability to all vertically hinged or pivoted doors (internal and external where relevant to the manufacturer’s intended use).
• Standardized test conditions and instrumentation requirements to ensure repeatability and comparability of results.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of hinged or pivoted doors, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, product designers and specifiers, and building authorities use this standard to evaluate vertical-load resistance and to demonstrate compliance with performance requirements. It supports quality control, product development, and regulatory assessment for door performance in building projects.

Related standards

ISO 8275:2023 is published under ISO/TC 162 (Doors and windows) and replaces the earlier ISO 8275:1985 edition. Other ISO/TC 162 publications address additional performance tests and requirements for doors and windows; users should consult the committee’s catalogue for related test methods and performance standards.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 8275:2023 is an international test method standard that specifies how to determine the resistance of vertically hinged or pivoted door leaves to an applied vertical load and how to measure any resulting permanent deformation.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the test specimen arrangement (door leaf in its frame or a representative frame), the manner of applying a vertical load to an open door leaf, the measurement of permanent deformation after load removal, and requirements to ensure reproducible results.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Door manufacturers, test laboratories, product developers, certifiers, and building authorities use the standard for product testing, quality control, compliance demonstration, and specification writing.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 8275:2023 is the current published edition (Edition 2, February 2023). It supersedes and replaces ISO 8275:1985, which has been withdrawn.

Q: Is it part of a series?
