6.9.1.2 The overlap width between the door leaf and frame is taken as the minimum measured value.
6.9.2 Clearance Between Door Leaf and Frame
In the state of use, install the test piece on the test frame with the door leaf in a closed position. Measure the clearance on the hinge side, lock side, top frame, bottom frame, and between double or multiple door leaves with a feeler gauge, taking the maximum thickness that can be inserted as the measurement value.
6.9.3 Gap Between Door Leaf and Frame (see Figure 14)
