This standard provides requirements to cover smart doors rated 600V or less to be employed in ordinary locations in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1 and the Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, NFPA 80. This standard sets forth the minimum durability, safety and labeling requirements for smart doors and would test the worst-case smart door with the maximum amount of smart accessories on the door / frame system to confirm the maximum input power, temperature test and evaluate for environmental conditions for the certification of the smart door / frame system. The standard will be focused only on the technology-related aspects of smart doors, and that any such requirements would be supplementary to NAFS and other standards in the A440 suite of standards and the Canadian Electrical Code, not replacing existing standards.

Project Need

There is a need for a standardized approach for residential smart doors in Canada. As the adoption of smart home technology continues to grow, it is essential to establish a new standard that ensure safety, functionality, and ease of installation for both consumers and professionals. The standard will serve as the as an approval framework for the entire smart door system.  Installers, homeowners and authorities having jurisdiction can rely on this standard to ensure quality and compliance. At the request of industry, this proposed new bi-national standard would be developed under periodic maintenance to stay current with industry changes.
