AS/NZS 60335.2.103:2016 is a standard that focuses on the safety of electric drives for gates, doors, garage doors, and windows used in household and similar settings. It sets requirements for drives with a rated voltage of up to 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives. The standard addresses the hazards associated with the movement of the driven part of these appliances.

The standard covers battery-operated drives, as well as other drives powered by direct current (d.c.). Dual supply drives, whether mains-supplied or battery-operated, are considered battery-operated drives when in battery mode. It also includes drives that are not specifically designed for household use but could still pose a risk to the public, such as those used in shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, industry, and farms.

Additionally, the standard provides specific requirements for drives used in emergency routes and exits, which are outlined in Annex AA. Examples of drives that fall within the scope of this standard are folding doors, revolving doors, rolling doors, roof windows, sectional overhead doors, and swinging and sliding gates or doors.

It is important to note that drives may also be supplied with a driven part, and this standard ensures that they meet the necessary safety requirements for their intended use.
