How to Use the Road Barrier and Gate Log

1. Assign each road barrier or gate a unique Object ID. Enter the actual installation type, location, manufacturer and archive for the manual and product documentation.
2. Determine the local observation routine based on the risk profile, traffic environment, equipment use and supplier instructions.
3. Record only securely visible observations from a location outside the machine's operating area. Never perform your own pinch force tests, sensor tests or electrical tests based on this template.
4. In case of damage or suspected risk, keep your distance and follow the property's cordoning, on-call and contact instructions.
5. Order service and safety assessment from a competent contractor and archive the actual professional report.
6. Document decisions on continued operation, any outstanding points and costs separately.

Legal and Technical Requirements in Sweden – November 2026

AFS 2023:4, Products – Machines: regulations on technical documentation, assessment of conformity, CE marking and manufacturer responsibility for machines within the scope of the regulations. The regulatory status of older installations needs to be assessed based on the time, changes and machine type. EU's Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 will mainly apply from January 20, 2027; it should not be treated as if it has already fully replaced the current rules in November 2026. ELSÄK-FS 2022:3 contains regulations on risk-based continuous inspection for relevant high-voltage installations and electrical equipment.

Important: These templates are administrative documentation and follow-up tools, not a certified inspection, machine safety analysis, CE declaration, risk reduction according to standard, verification of stop functions or technical testing instructions. No general test methods, pinch force limits or mandatory fixed service intervals are specified. Risky inspections, repairs and restart decisions require competent expert assessment and relevant equipment documentation. No external lawyer, electrical specialist or machine safety expert has reviewed each template.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the documents be used for a housing cooperative's road barrier?

Yes. Each installation gets its own Object ID so that service, damage, fault reports and decisions can be followed up separately.

Can we test pinch guards and photocells ourselves using the log?

No. The log is for external observations from a safe location. Testing safety functions or operating the installation belongs to a competent contractor and special instructions.

Is the EU's new machinery regulation already applicable?

The new regulation (EU) 2023/1230 will mainly apply from January 20, 2027. During 2026, existing rules and transitional rules need to be considered.

Is this the same as a garage door log?

No. This product is primarily for road barriers and vehicle gates outdoors. For doors, there is a separate garage door and gate automation package.

Does it include a legally established inspection interval?

No, the interval must be assessed based on the installation, risks, manufacturer's instructions, current requirements and service agreement.

Are Word, PDF and Excel editable?

The seven Word files are editable, the PDF files are searchable read-only and print versions, and the Excel register has editable registers and ready-made formulas.
