Ensuring Safety and Compliance: Introducing the EN16005:2023 Training Boxes

In the world of automatic doors, precision isn’t optional — it’s essential. Every sensor, control system, and safety mechanism must work seamlessly to protect users and ensure compliance with the latest safety standards. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the EN16005:2023 Training Boxes, now available on the Prosale Webshop.

These compact tools are designed to help installers and maintenance professionals verify that door safety sensors are doing exactly what they should: detecting obstacles and preventing unsafe operation. It’s a simple idea, but one that can make all the difference when it comes to compliance and peace of mind.

The Importance of Proper Sensor Testing

Modern automatic doors rely on a network of sensors that constantly monitor their surroundings. Whether detecting movement, presence, or obstructions, these sensors ensure that doors open, close, and stay open only when it’s safe to do so.

However, even the most advanced sensor can only perform as well as it’s installed and calibrated. If the detection area isn’t correctly configured, there’s a risk that a door might close when someone or something is still in the way. That’s where the EN16005:2023 Training Boxes come in.

By simulating the presence of an obstacle, these boxes allow technicians to confirm that the sensors are responding appropriately. If the sensor “sees” the box, the door halts operation as intended — a clear sign that the safety system is functioning properly. If it doesn’t, adjustments can be made before the door is put into service.

It’s a simple check that can prevent serious incidents and ensure your installation meets the rigorous EN16005:2023 safety standards.

Bridging the Gap Between Training and Real-World Testing

One of the challenges for automatic door technicians is bridging the gap between theory and practice. Training sessions can cover the principles of safety detection, but hands-on testing in the field is where true understanding takes shape.

The EN16005:2023 Training Boxes were developed with this in mind. They provide a physical, repeatable way to test sensors — ideal for both training environments and on-site verification. Whether you’re demonstrating compliance to a client, conducting a service inspection, or fine-tuning a new installation, these boxes give you confidence that your system is performing as it should.

And because they’re designed to comply with the latest EN16005:2023 standard, you can be sure your testing aligns with the most current industry expectations.

Designed for Professionals, by Professionals

At Prosale, we understand the realities of working in the field. Installers need reliable, durable, and easy-to-use tools that help them work efficiently without compromising on safety. The EN16005:2023 Training Boxes have been created with exactly that in mind.

Compact enough to fit into a service kit, yet robust enough for regular use, they make compliance testing straightforward. Each box represents a practical investment in safety assurance — both for your clients and your business reputation. After all, being able to confidently demonstrate that your sensors are correctly configured not only enhances trust but also helps prevent costly call-backs or, worse, accidents.

A Smarter Way to Verify Safety

Safety standards evolve, and staying compliant means staying proactive. The introduction of EN16005:2023 reinforces the importance of accurate sensor detection and proper commissioning practices. The Training Boxes from Prosale are a simple but effective way to bring those standards to life in everyday work.

They don’t just tick a box (pun intended) — they give professionals the means to prove, in real terms, that every automatic door installation is safe, compliant, and ready for use.
