AESIF (GSC) Pendigo App certification across the European Union.
Did you know the AESIF standardised certification (GSC) Pendigo App is now available to use across the European Union, and has been translated into the different languages, off the European community. The United Kingdom certification is also available in Welsh the AESIF app print PDF format. Other certificates are also available in translations of French, Dutch, Swedish, German, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese print PDF format by professional installers using the(GSC) Pendigo App.
The AESIF certification is sent on to your customer by email "paperless" or print as required.
What's new for the (GSC) Pendigo App user and client users and manufactures? “The
option of a weatherproof QR code, hopefully coming in the back end of 2024”
The maintenance industry benefits by over 1.75 billion in turnover from preventative
maintenance and repair/replacement every year in the automatic door and gate industry,
covering all the certificated sectors in the United Kingdom.
1. If an installer sticks a new weatherproof QR code, to the control equipment
on completion and assembly of their works for a customer. The QR code stores information
about the installation the manufactured product name, and directs the installer
to the highlighted information on the app website database for the AESIF app
member to auto pre-populate a new certificate for the customer.
2. When a customer scans the weather proof QR code, on the control panel
it takes them to (GSC) Pendigo App database website, and tells the person the make
of the automation installed at the site/property and date fitted and serial
number.
3. Likewise for the manufacturer, if the customer/installer shared the
QR code with the manufacturer Tec guys? The benefits are that a customer knows
what product they are talking about, for technical help service history,
installation history, warranty. Including extended warranty, given on products
that are dependent upon regular service schedules after 12 months?
4. The benefits to a customer in moving house, and the passing on of
existing warranties, extended warranty on manufacture related service, and the
proof of maintenance and certification, also remember the benefit in kind to the
point of contact for the installer, and continued service contracts.
5. Installers using the QR CODE for use in conjunction with the (GSC) Pendigo App certification it will allow them to prepopulate the certificate on the (GSC) Pendigo App for servicing and schedule maintenance going forward.
6. When your customer scans the QR CODE for details and information, it
can alert and inform the original installer of the installation. “This function
is available, but only if this function is switched on" by the
installation company using the (GSC) Pendigo App.
7. When scanning the QR CODE, it takes the user to the website database
and the highlighted listing.

Onsite Guide:
Introduction who is the “door” manufacturer? Who certifies that the
installation has been assembled per the instructions in the manual?
This website provides free information, about the gate automation
industry, and the laws that govern it within the United Kingdom and continues
to support the AESIF app certification. In helping, improving the safety for
the consumer and the use of automated doors and gate, in the prevention of
accidents. Membership is free no fee when using the AESIF app to keep
installation safe for uses. There are thousands of unsafe gates in the United
Kingdom some are over 30 year old and still in operation. Certification removes
these dangerous "able or likely to cause harm or injury" products
from the market place and can save lives.
As a consumer you can insist on using only installation companies that
use the AESIF app certification in providing professional service and
maintenance.
According to the standards and European directives, there is only one
manufacturer of the finished product, even if assembling parts of another
manufacturer’s produces, or issues a product onto the market, which falls
within the field of application of the standard or directive.
With reference to the type of products
considered in the Directive BS: EN 13241-1 the following subjects within the
directives are generally present in our market:
Door component
manufacturer
Door (manual)
manufacturer
Door (power operated) manufacturer
Automation component manufacturer
Assembler: (The person or company that assembles
strictly observing all specifications in the instruction manual).“ Factory Process Control” this can be performed on site. The
assembler must not issue documents.
Conformity is issued by the manufacturer.
I.E "an assembler is a person or company
fitting a barrier, a preassembled door, garage door, a bollard, and turnstile.
The assembler certifies that the assembled Machinery had been installed
as per the instructions in the
manual at the location of intended use".
Installer: the person or company that
applies automation to a manually operated door, who therefore converts the product
and thus becomes the power operated manufacturer of the power operated door.
The following points define the various subjects and relative tasks
according to the Machinery and Construction Products Directives.
Note: you will require a minor works
certificate BS: 7671:2018 for the power supply to the location of the automatic
door garage door, automatic bollard, gate or turnstile if this has not been
previously installed.
An example: The installer assembly declaration.
Part 1:The above automation equipment has been "assembled
installed, tested and attached to pre-installed automated garage doors" (which
have been inspected and deemed suitable for power operated use) In compliance
with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Low voltage Directive 2104/35/EU,
Electromagnetic compatibility directive 2014/30/EU, Radio equipment directive
2014/53/EU "and to the manufactures instructions"..
Part2: I being responsible for the assembly Part :1
Automated garage door and electrical installation & works carried out and
described in Part: 2 certify that the said works do not impair the safety of
the existing installation, that the said works "do not impair the
design, construction", in "accordance with the
manufactures instructions", and have been inspected and tested in
compliance with BS EN 12453:2017+A1 2021 That the electrical work installed of
which I have been responsible for, is to the best of my knowledge and belief,
at the time of my inspection, does comply with BS 7671:2018 except as detailed
in Part 2.8 (above).
The declaration of compliance remains with the Manufacturer, not the
installer, "assembler".
An example: The maintenance declaration.
I being responsible for the inspection, maintenance of
electrical installation and "pre-assembled machine / garage door" carried
out at the above address, In accordance with BS EN 12453:2017 and is to the
best of my / our knowledge and belief, at the time of my / our inspection,
complies with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC,
Warning: an installer should “never mix
different manufactured components” I.E Motors, or control panels on an automatic installation, as you then become
responsible “by that action” for the conformity as issued by a manufacturer.
Remember a manufacturer designs a group of products that work in harmony, “function
safely” never put yourself or your company at risk. Always think twice.
