Our City & Guilds accredited ADIA BS EN16005 course is specifically designed for those seeking to gain comprehensive knowledge of the latest automatic door standard (BS EN 16005:2023 – Power Operated Pedestrian Doorsets) and BS 7036-0:2014.

Legal Compliance

By law, all automatic doors must comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 for new installations and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) for doors in service. Completing the BS EN 16005 course and exam is a crucial step towards demonstrating compliance with these legal requirements, as it is the recognised standard for the safe installation, maintenance, and inspection of powered pedestrian doors.

Training with the Automatic Door Installation Association means you gain City & Guilds-accredited certification – a respected industry qualification that reassures clients and sets you apart from competitors.
