(a) definitions for doors and doorsets;
(b) means for identifying standard sizes, tolerances and construction types;
(c) requirements for the proper selection;
(d) criteria for assessing the physical features of doorsets; and
(e) doorsets installation details.

The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is for information and guidance only.
