Good afternoon everyone!
Is there any way for a script to check if there is a 5mm white margin or border in the document?

If it's possible to share some script, I'll be very grateful.

Based on the @Chuck Uebele tip, this script checks whether or not the document has borders of any size.

main();
function main(){
    var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;   
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; 
    var doc = activeDocument; 
    doc.selection.selectAll();
    notBorder();
    var x1 = Number(doc.width); 
    var x2=  Number(doc.selection.bounds[2]);
    doc.selection.deselect();
    if(x1 == x2){alert ("It has no border")} 
    else{alert ("Has border")}
    app.preferences.rulerUnits =  startRulerUnits;
}

function notBorder(){
    var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putProperty(app.charIDToTypeID("Chnl"), app.stringIDToTypeID("selection"));
    d1.putReference(app.charIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    var d2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    d2.putUnitDouble(app.charIDToTypeID("Hrzn"), app.charIDToTypeID("#Pxl"), 0);
    d2.putUnitDouble(app.charIDToTypeID("Vrtc"), app.charIDToTypeID("#Pxl"), 0);
    d1.putObject(app.charIDToTypeID("T   "), app.charIDToTypeID("Pnt "), d2);
    executeAction(app.stringIDToTypeID("subtractFrom"), d1, DialogModes.NO);
}

Where is 'Layout'?

Perfect! All three solutions work perfectly!

Script checks the size of the white border on all sides of the document. If on at least one side it exceeds the allowable threshold from the specified size, then the script reports an error.
