Overview The 2013 Florida Power Assist and Low Energy Power Operated Doors Code provides comprehensive requirements for the installation, operation, and maintenance of power assist and low energy power-operated doors. These doors are commonly used to enhance accessibility in buildings, particularly for individuals with disabilities. The code includes guidelines for door activation methods, safety features, operational speed, force requirements, and signage to ensure that these doors are safe, reliable, and accessible.
The 2013 edition aligns with industry standards such as those from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and it incorporates Florida-specific amendments to address the state’s unique environmental conditions and regulatory requirements. This code is essential for architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers involved in the design, installation, and maintenance of power-operated doors in Florida.
