Overview

prEN 12101-2 - "Smoke and heat control systems - Part 2: Specification for Natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators" is a CEN standard that specifies requirements and provides test methods for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators intended to form part of a natural smoke and heat exhaust system. The document (issued as prEN 12101-2:1995 and adopted into national collections such as the Slovenian standard) falls under fire protection (ICS 13.220.20) and targets manufacturers, test laboratories, fire safety engineers and authorities responsible for building safety.

Key topics and requirements

The standard focuses on the consistent evaluation and specification of natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (NSHEV). Main areas covered include:

• Scope and definitions - clear terminology for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators and their role within smoke and heat control systems.
• Product requirements - baseline characteristics that NSHEV products must meet to perform reliably as system components.
• Test methods - standardized procedures to verify ventilator performance, safety and functional behavior under conditions relevant to smoke and heat extraction.
• Performance verification - criteria and measurable outcomes used to assess suitability of a ventilator for smoke and heat control applications.
• Documentation and marking - information a manufacturer should provide to demonstrate compliance and to facilitate correct application.

(As the published extract indicates, the standard “specifies requirements and gives test methods” rather than offering installation instructions or building design rules.)

Applications and users

prEN 12101-2 is intended for use in contexts where natural smoke and heat extraction is required to support life safety and fire management strategies. Typical users and applications:

• Manufacturers of ventilators and roof/window actuators seeking to demonstrate product conformity.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies applying standardized test methods to verify product performance.
• Fire safety engineers and consultants specifying components for natural smoke and heat exhaust systems in commercial, industrial and public buildings.
• Regulatory authorities and AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) referencing harmonized test methods when assessing compliance with fire protection requirements.

Using prEN 12101-2 helps stakeholders ensure that NSHEV components are evaluated consistently and perform as intended within a smoke and heat control system.

Related standards

• Other parts of the EN 12101 series address complementary aspects of smoke and heat control systems.
• National building codes and fire safety regulations may reference EN 12101-series requirements for component testing and certification.
