In response to the latest European standards concerning impact forces CAME have developed a series of products and accessories that comply with the latest European laws and machinery directives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The European Union has finally passed a series of laws which clearly regulate the automation industry. Any new or existing installation requires a declaration of conformity. CAME has for some time now made available a complete range of automated operators that are EN Tested \u2013 and ready to be certified on site by the installers. The EN Tested principle is based on new electronics, new motors, new protection systems, new mechanics, new patents and devices for achieving total safety even when installing in a variety of contexts. Thanks to these standards many businesses in the UK automation industry choose CAME technology to ensure their installations meet the standards of safety their customers demand.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-came-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color has-came-font-font-family wp-elements-bfe96494e5330248dc6eb9086ddc0a8a\">Monitoring each phase of production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For over 30 years CAME has been fully committed to manufacturing safe and reliable products. But passion in not enough. That is why we demand rigorous product testing, careful process controls and constant monitoring of every phase of our work. Each phase of the product, from design to assembly, is closely monitored by a highly specialised team and state-of-the art equipment. The entire production process is carried out in our factories in Treviso, Italy, which enables the internal controllers to reliably check on the whole process.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-came-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color has-came-font-font-family wp-elements-a389e543d4b39e3f173b29461c19c5de\">Maintaining safety standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">CAME offers a full range of electromechanical gate automation kits. To help our installers comply with the latest European standards, we supply a free user manual and service book with every kit. This book should be kept with your installation and passed to new owners if you ever sell your property. Inside it you will find all the information you need to keep your gates well maintained and in safe working order for many years to come. It also contains the CE Declaration of Conformity which should be filled in by your installer.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-came-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color has-came-font-font-family wp-elements-b55ecf9eded5b953d170f584138d70c3\">Dangerous situations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When automation is installed on any door, gate, window or any other opening, it becomes classified as a machine. Listed below are some of the possible hazards associated with using such machines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Crushing during closing hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Shearing hazard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Conveying hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Impact hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Person lifting hazard, in the event of vertical closings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Operator connected, electrical hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Safety device breakdown provoked hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Hazards which appear during manual moving of the closure, for example, when gate unexpectedly sets in motion again<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Entrapment hazards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Exceeding of gate-leaf limit, causing possible falling of gate-leaf hazards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignwide\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;min-height:430px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-black-background-color has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"792\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-14860\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-scaled.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-1024x317.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-1920x594.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-768x237.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-1536x475.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/banner-safety-2048x633.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-came-font-font-family wp-elements-1d501ee751e6eb5bf355e0880f71f9cd\">Command &amp; safety accessories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">CAME automation systems utilise a range of safety accessories which are compliant with European Standards to provide total protection against any hazards associated with operation.

EN Tested technology ensures that when the door or gate comes into contact with an obstacle, however minimal, the operator automatically blocks movement, reversing the direction. Want more peace of mind? CAME also always recommend the installation of safety accessories, such as photocells and flashing lights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading accordion-heading has-came-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-41326c26e918d166e4195ae29be6cedc\">Which safety devices do I need to install?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion-content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2b45ae881abbc2de99eb02cfb40da8bd\">CAME products with\u00a0EN Tested technology perfectly comply with the minimum requirements for impact force detection, however every installation will have different safety requirements. CAME offer a wide range of safety products such as the photocells, sensitive edges and signal lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a208867de0a7d0b19394f367c98c88cb\">We always recommend the installation of photocells, preferably on the side of the road if next to a public highway. If the operator is designed for intensive use, you can also install sensitive edges that reverse the direction of travel when in contact with any obstacle. Finally, we recommend a flashing light to signal the operator&#8217;s motion status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading accordion-heading has-came-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-36819dc7b5b0a010136727595b65392f\">What does EN Tested mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group accordion-content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0e6e7bdb8b8c560cd842a21c8813a15a\">All CAME products bear the exclusive EN Tested system marking, which certifies that the solution has been produced and tested according to the rigorous criteria of the European Standards as regards impact force.
