Industry Market Trends, Standards, And Export Compliance Updates

Industry market trends

1. Industrial and courtyard swing door machines are accelerating their transformation towards scene based and intelligent solutions (Industry News on October 25th)
The procurement side no longer only focuses on low prices, but prioritizes assessment of safety protection, energy conservation, remote monitoring, and fault warning; The demand for factories, logistics parks, and villa courtyards is stable, and the industry is gradually phasing out low-priced models that have no obstacle protection or emergency unlocking. Standardized installation and after-sales maintenance systems have become the focus of competition among manufacturers.
2. Intelligent upgrade direction: IoT networking, remote operation and maintenance, AI sensing
The new generation of models generally support WiFi/Bluetooth, access control, facial recognition, and ground sensing linkage; Some high-end models have added cloud based backend, which allows remote viewing of operation logs, fault push notifications, parameter debugging, and is compatible with smart community and smart factory solutions.

Standard and Export Compliance Dynamics

The safety national standard GB/T 4706.98-2024 for household door drive devices has been implemented on August 1st
Covering swing door machines and courtyard door drive equipment, unified mandatory requirements are proposed for electric shock protection, overload protection, and mechanical pinch risk. Domestic brand shipments and bidding projects must meet this safety standard.
2. New EU automatic door standards updated, export threshold raised
The new version of EN 12453:2025 has come into effect, tightening the impact force limit. Flat door machine manufacturers targeting European foreign trade need to conduct safety tests again, adjust rebound and buffering parameter designs when encountering obstacles, and avoid order compliance risks.
