Introduction

This European Standard contains the basic performance and requirements for smoke control dampers that are to be used in conjunction with pressure differential systems and smoke and heat control systems. They can also be used to pressurise when gas extinguishing systems are used.

Particular reference is required to EN 1366-10, which defines the furnace testing associated with these products and EN 13501-4, which provides details on their fire resistance classification.

In addition to the prevention of transmission of smoke and combustion products from a fire zone, smoke control dampers are utilised to contain the spillage of otherwise harmful and toxic extinguishing gases from the affected area, and for the control of pressurising and excess air relief within pressurisation systems.

Smoke control systems are designed to fulfil the following basic functions. These are:

1. the extraction of smoke from a single fire compartment to the outside of the building,

2. the extraction of smoke from fire compartments of a building, using a SHEVS connected to one or more fire compartments. The smoke control system duct may or may not pass through other compartments of the building to reach the outside of the building,

3. the use of pressurisation to maintain smoke free clear areas.

Smoke control dampers are commonly used in smoke and heat control systems as a means of limiting the number of ducts and high temperature fan units. The ducts into which such smoke control dampers are fitted generally serve a number of different fire compartments. The systems may be dedicated smoke extraction or possibly a combined environmental ventilation/smoke extraction.

The smoke and heat control system may remove smoke using either high temperature fans (in accordance with EN 12101-3) or natural ventilators (in accordance with EN 12101-2).

It may be necessary for a number of reasons (fire growth, smoke release, etc.) that the open smoke control damper(s) is (are) required to close and that the damper(s) previously closed is(are) required to open.

The tests defined in this standard are based on the assumption that when smoke is detected within a building, all smoke control dampers other than those serving the fire compartment/smoke reservoir (where the fire has initiated) remain closed or move to the closed position. All smoke control dampers serving the smoke affected fire compartment/smoke reservoir remain open or move to the open position, and the fan(s) started/natural vents opened.

NOTE Figure 1 gives examples of installation positions, but these are not the only positions where dampers may be fitted.

Further guidance on the application of smoke control dampers may be found within the rest of the EN 12101 series of harmonised standards and technical reports.

The areas for which products supplied to this standard are considered applicable include for example:

1. commercial premises,

2. shopping and retail centres,

3. hospitals,

4. multi-residential buildings.

Smoke control dampers are intended for use in the following types of systems, including:

1. pressurisation,

2. pressure relief,

3. extraction systems,

4. ductwork systems,

5. inerting fire suppression systems.

1. It is realised that all the above systems do not address smoke directly, but similar properties are required of such smoke control dampers to limit leakage in a fire and smoke control situation.Scope

This European Standard applies to smoke control dampers, placed on the market and intended to operate as part of a pressure differential system or smoke and heat control system. This standard specifies requirements and gives reference to the test methods defined for smoke control dampers and their associated components, such as actuators which are intended to be installed in such systems in buildings. It also provides for the evaluation of conformity of these products to the requirements of this standard. Furthermore, provision on marking and information on installation and maintenance of these products are also given.

This European Standard distinguish between two categories of smoke control dampers, i.e. single compartment smoke control dampers and multi-compartment fire resisting smoke control dampers.

Smoke control dampers covered by this European Standard can be installed into smoke control system ducts or onto the ducts' surface. They can be installed also into a wall, floor or ceiling/roof elements or onto the surface of these elements.

To avoid duplication, reference is made to a variety of other standards. To this end, this standard is to be read in conjunction with EN 13501-4, EN 1366-10 and EN 1366-2, for details of the furnace testing.

This standard does not consider in detail the detrimental and/or corrosive effects that may be caused by process chemicals present in the atmosphere, which are drawn through the system intentionally or inadvertently.
