Question 1

What BCA requirements apply to automatic doors in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

The BCA Code on Accessibility sets out mandatory requirements governing automatic door installations in Singapore, including minimum clear opening widths, activation sensor placement, and accessible approach zones for wheelchair and mobility-impaired users. These requirements apply to new developments as well as buildings undergoing additions and alterations. Frameshft engineers automatic door systems to satisfy these requirements from the design stage, with full certification documentation provided to support BCA submission and inspection.

Question 2

How does Frameshft ensure automatic doors pass BCA inspection?

Accepted Answer

Frameshft designs compliance into the system at the specification stage rather than attempting to retrofit it after a BCA finding. Our engineering team assesses the entrance layout, specifies the correct door type and clear opening width, and supplies systems certified to DIN18650-1:2010 and EN16005. Full documentation including TÜV, COC, and CE certification under the LVD Directive is provided, giving project QPs and facility managers the audit trail needed for BCA inspection submissions.

Question 3

Can Frameshft supply both swing and sliding doors for BCA-compliant entrances?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft supplies both automatic swing doors and automatic sliding doors configured for BCA accessibility compliance. The swing door offers touchless single or double leaf activation suitable for office and retail entrances, while the sliding door provides the clear opening widths and EN16005-certified safety performance required for high-traffic entrances in commercial and healthcare buildings. Our engineering team advises on the appropriate door type based on your entrance geometry and BCA requirements.

Question 4

Does Frameshft handle BCA compliance for handicap toilet entrances?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft's handicap toilet system is specifically engineered for BCA-compliant accessible restroom entrances in commercial buildings, hospitals, and public facilities. The system is designed to accommodate wheelchair and mobility-impaired users in line with BCA Code on Accessibility requirements. Compliance is built into the engineering design from the outset, not added as an afterthought following an audit finding. Full documentation is supplied to support BCA and building management submissions.

Question 5

Can existing non-compliant doors be upgraded to meet current BCA standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft's retrofit and modernisation service updates existing manual or older automatic door installations to current BCA accessibility standards without requiring full structural reconstruction of the entrance frame. This is a cost-effective path for building owners facing BCA audit cycles or additions and alterations projects where full door replacement is not budgeted. The retrofit scope is assessed on-site and a specification is provided detailing the compliance outcome achieved.
