Article R4214-8 of the French Labour Code

Automatic doors and gates are fitted with a safety system that immediately stops any opening or closing movement if this movement could cause harm to a person.
They are designed so that they can be opened manually, unless they open automatically in the event of a power failure.
A joint order of the ministers responsible for labour, agriculture and construction specifies, where necessary, the safety rules to which these doors and gates must conform.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4214-8


Les portes et portails automatiques comportent un système de sécurité interrompant immédiatement tout mouvement d’ouverture ou de fermeture lorsque ce mouvement peut causer un dommage à une personne.
Ils sont conçus de manière à pouvoir être ouverts manuellement, sauf s’ils s’ouvrent automatiquement en cas de panne d’énergie.
Un arrêté conjoint des ministres chargés du travail, de l’agriculture et de la construction précise, en tant que de besoin, les règles de sécurité auxquelles ces portes et portails obéissent.
