    There is not requirement for battery backup etc

    If it’s a door in a required exit, it does need to meet all the requirements of NCC D2.21 Operation of Latch.   A car park door/gate can, under some circumstances be a required exit door.

    D2.21  requires a door in a required exit to be “readily openable” without a key in the ways listed.  It also allows the door to be both power-operated and have a push button operation (on or near the door).

    I was relating the battery backup part from the installers of our recently replaced power-operated car park doors/gates.  They claimed that the battery backup feature was enough for the doors to meet D2.21.  But it does  look like the doors also still need to be manually openable without a key.
