Wittur completes the vandal resistant certification process for its doors

Wittur group has completed the vandal-resistant certification category 1 for its HYDRA and PEGASUS range of landing and car door types according to the European standard EN81-71:2005.

The growing demand of protection of lifts in unguarded public areas against acts of vandalism has lead CEN (European Committee for Standardization) to issue the harmonized norm, which defines the testing methodology and the classification of lifts in terms of vandal-resistance. Category 1 vandal-resistant doors are manufactured in reinforced execution in order to withstand moderate acts of vandalism, carried out according to modes and with instruments as indicated in the annexes of the EN81-71.
