AS/NZS 60335.2.95:2020 is a safety standard that outlines the requirements for drives for vertically moving garage doors intended for residential use. The standard is a part of the larger AS/NZS 60335.2 series, which provides safety guidelines for household and similar electrical appliances. The purpose of the standard is to ensure the safe operation, installation, and maintenance of garage door drives by reducing the risk of user injury or property damage.

The standard covers a range of requirements for garage door drives, including mechanical, electrical, and thermal safety criteria. It specifies safety measures such as the protection against crushing or shearing hazards, control of movements, and restrictions on the maximum force or energy that can be exerted by the door to avoid causing harm. It also outlines requirements for electrical insulation, grounding, and protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, and hot surfaces or components.

It is important to note that AS/NZS 60335.2.95:2020 will replace an earlier standard, AS/NZS 60335.2.95:2012, and will become effective on 27 November 2023. However, regulatory authorities may apply compliance with the requirements of the standard at different times, and users of the standard should consult with these authorities to ensure that they comply with the appropriate regulations.
