ICC Residential Smart Doors Committee Seeking Additional Members

The ICC Residential Smart Door Committee (IS-RSDC) currently developing ICC 1425, a binational standard for residential smart doors, is seeking additional Committee members in accordance with ANSI and SCC accredited procedures.

There is a particular need for a representative from an organization operating in Canada. 

The scope of work is listed below.  

Project Description 

This standard provides requirements to cover smart doors rated 600V or less to be employed in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1 and the Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, NFPA 80.  

The smart door standard aims to address features and topics unique to smart doors that existing standards do not cover. The standard will test the most demanding smart door configurations, including the maximum number of smart accessories on the door/frame system, to confirm maximum input power, conduct temperature tests and evaluate environmental conditions. This comprehensive certification process ensures the reliability and safety of smart door systems. 

Project Need  

A product evaluation standard for powered and connected residential smart doors that can be referenced in the International Residential Code® (IRC) and used by manufacturers to certify does not exist.  

The smart door standard would be developed to address topics and features unique to smart doors that are not addressed in existing standards. For instance, when power is physically conveyed from the door frame to the door, the power transfer device should be certified as a component for its rated voltage, current and the number of door cycles it is capable of handling.
