Ceco Performance and Conformance Standards

           PERFORMANCE TESTING
 

Physical Endurance 

Measures a door assembly's ability to resist deterioration resulting from expected usage.

The Test consists of two parts: 

  • Swing Test  -  (ANSI A250.4-01) Door  -  Door is open and closed a prescribed number of times. Refer to Fig. #1
  • Twist Test  -  (ANSI A250.4-01) Door 

    • Periodically throughout the Swing Test, a 300 lb. load is applied to one of the door's corners to gauge the door's ability to resist permanent deflection.

Structural Performance 

Measures a door assembly's ability to resist static loads similar to those caused by high winds.

  • Test  -  ASTM E330-90, "Structural Performance by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference"

    • Doors were mounted with Mortise lock and 4.5" x .134" butt hinges. Refer to Fig. #2

 Security 

Measures a door assembly's ability to resist, delay, and frustrate certain burglar attacks. "Attacks" as defined by the NILECJ standard.

Test  -  ASTM F476
HIGH SECURITY LEVEL
Ceco Door assemblies conform to Classification Grade 40. Grade 40 is the highest rating available under this ASTM test method and is suitable for use in commercial buildings in high crime areas with a high incidence of semi-skilled burglary attacks.
 


Conformance Standards
Conformance to National and Internationally Accepted Specifications and Standards. 
When properly specified, Ceco doors and frames will conform to the document 
requirements of the nationally recognized agencies listed below; the list is not all inclusive.
