EI 60 (ve ho) S 500. If the multi compartment smoke control duct section requirements defined in this clause are satisfied, this shall be deemed to satisfy also the corresponding single compartment smoke control duct section requirements in 4.4.1. 4.4 Fire resistance performance criteria: Single compartment smoke control duct sections
4.4.1 Integrity, leakage
The assessment of integrity (E) of a single compartment smoke control duct section, as one of the fire resistance performance characteristics, shall be made on the basis of:
a) leakage through the duct section at ambient and after 15 minutes from the start of the elevated temperature test; b) the ability of the duct section to maintain its cross section when subjected to the elevated temperature test (i.e. to 600 °C); c) the assessment of collapse of the duct within the furnace, to confirm mechanical stability; d) the suitability for use of the duct section at an under pressure, measured at ambient. A smoke leakage performance requirement is described in EN 13501-4 to allow the (S) classification, and this shall be applied, if the duct section is intended for the end uses where this performance is required.
4.4.2 Fire resistance classification and designation Having achieved the performance criteria in 4.4.1, the single compartment smoke control duct section shall be classified and designated in accordance with EN 13501-4. The following shall be declared for each single compartment smoke control duct section: a) integrity class "E600", (in accordance to EN 13501-4); b) The additions of the indication(s) of suitability for vertical and/or horizontal use, respectively: as ve, or ho; c) The addition of the symbol "S" indicates the satisfaction of an extra restriction on leakage; SIST EN 12101-7:2011

E600 60 (ve, ho) S 1500. 5 Test methods 5.1 Ambient leakage tests The openings in the duct inside the furnace shall be sealed and the test method shall be in accordance with EN 1366-8 or EN 1366-9. 5.2 Fire resistance tests 5.2.1 General In addition to other requirements in this standard, the smoke control duct section shall be subjected to a furnace based fire resistance test. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the ability of a smoke control duct section to prevent fire and smoke spreading from one fire compartment to another through the ductwork system which may penetrate fire separating walls and floors. In addition the test assesses the tightness of the ductwork while hot gases are drawn through the extraction system, ensuring that only small quantities of clean air could be sucked into the duct from areas not affected by a fire, and demonstrating low leakage out in positive pressure situations. Single compartment smoke control duct sections will be subjected to an elevated temperature test matching the standard time temperature heating curve but levelling out to a flat maximum of 600 °C.
Multi-compartment smoke control duct sections will be subjected to a fire test to the standard time temperature test curve. Hot gases from inside the furnace are drawn through the smoke control duct section to the outside. The provision of a perforated plate allows the smoke control duct section outside the furnace to be subjected to pressure differential of 500Pa. The leakage of the smoke control duct section outside the furnace is recorded. The leakage rate of duct sections requiring an S classification shall be measured both at ambient temperature and during the fire test. Temperature and integrity measurements shall be carried out in various parts of the test construction during the test. Observations on the duct hangers and the penetration seal will be made to confirm maintenance of stability and the maximum allowable reduction in cross section. 5.2.2 Smoke control duct section: integrity and insulation 5.2.2.1 Multi compartment smoke control duct section Equipment, method and section size as fully described in EN 1366-8, shall be subjected to the fire resistance test. Sections shall be fire tested in the plane of proposed installation, noting the direct field of application of fire test results. 5.2.2.2 Single compartment smoke control duct section Equipment, method and section size as fully described in EN 1366-9, shall be subjected to the fire resistance test. Sections shall be fire tested in the plane of proposed installation, noting the direct field of application of fire test results. An insulation classification is not available.
Products may be grouped into families where the results for one or more characteristics from any one product in the family are representative for all other products within that family. NOTE 1 Products may be in different families for different characteristics. NOTE 2 Reference to the test methods standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable representative sample. In addition, type tests or initial type testing shall be performed for all characteristics included in the standard for which the manufacturer declares performances:  at the beginning of the production of a new or modified smoke control duct section design, the raw material or supplier of the components;  at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties); or  they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the smoke control duct section design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics. Where kit components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of compliance with other technical specifications, these characteristics need not be reassessed The specifications of these components shall be documented, as shall the inspection scheme for ensuring their compliance. Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking, although this does not replace the responsibility of the smoke control duct section designer to ensure that the smoke control duct section as a whole is correctly designed and its components have the necessary performance values to meet the design. 6.2.4 Test samples Test samples of smoke control duct sections shall be representative of the normal production. If the technical documentation (see 8.1) of the test samples does not give a sufficient basis for later compliance checks, a reference test sample (identified and marked) shall remain available for this purpose. 6.2.5 Test report All initial type testing and its results shall be documented in a test report. SIST EN 12101-7:2011

If the manufacturer has the product designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and labelled by subcontracting, FPC of the original manufacturer may be taken into account. However, where subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the products and ensure that he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfil his responsibilities according to this European Standard. The manufacturer who subcontracts all of his activities may in no circumstances pass his responsibilities on to a subcontractor. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required smoke control duct section characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked. FPC therefore brings together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the conformity of the product with its technical specifications. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials and constituents, processes, machines and manufacturing equipment and finished products, including material properties in products, and by making use of the results thus obtained. 6.3.2 General requirements Manufacturers having an FPC system which complies with EN ISO 9001 and which addresses the requirements of this harmonised standard are recognised as satisfying the FPC requirements of the Council Directive 89/106/EEC. Where a manufacturer operates different production lines or units in the same factory, or production lines or units in different factories, and these are covered by a single, overall FPC system, the manufacturer still has to keep control records for each separate production line or unit (and this shall be made a requirement of the technical specification). However, when performing FPC inspections, although the product specific aspects always need to be evaluated, the Notified Body does not have to repeat systematically the assessment of “general” FPC provisions which apply to all lines/units. 6.3.3 FPC specific requirements 6.3.3.1 General The FPC system shall:  address this European Standard, and  ensure that the products placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics. This involves: a) the preparation of documented procedures and instructions relating to factory production control operations; b)
the effective implementation of these procedures and instructions; SIST EN 12101-7:2011

a) the specification and verification of raw materials and constituents; b) the controls and tests to be carried out during manufacture according to a frequency laid down in the prescribed test plan; c) the verifications and tests to be carried out on finished products according to a frequency in accordance with Annex B and adapted to the product and its conditions of manufacture. NOTE Depending on the specific case, it may be necessary to carry out i) the operations referred to under b) and c), ii) only the operations under b) or iii) only those under c). The operations under b) centre as much on the intermediate states of the product as on manufacturing machines and their adjustment, and equipment etc. These controls and tests and their frequency are chosen based on product type and composition, the manufacturing process and its complexity, the sensitivity of product features to variations in manufacturing parameters etc. With regard to operations under c), where there is no control of finished products at the time that they are placed on the market, the manufacturer shall ensure that packaging, and reasonable conditions of handling and storage, do not damage products and that the product remains in conformity with the technical specification. The appropriate calibrations shall be carried out on defined measuring and test instruments. 6.3.3.2 Verification and tests 6.3.3.2.1 General The manufacturer shall have or have available the installations, equipment and personnel which enable him to carry out the necessary verifications and tests. He may, as may his agent, meet this requirement by concluding a sub-contracting agreement with one or more organisations or persons having the necessary skills and equipment. The manufacturer shall calibrate or verify and maintain the control, measuring or test equipment in good operating condition, whether or not it belongs to him, with a view to demonstrating conformity of the product with its technical specification.
The equipment shall be used in

La norme EN 12101-7:2011 se concentre sur les sections de conduits de contrôle de la fumée, spécifiquement conçues pour fonctionner au sein de systèmes de différence de pression ou de systèmes d'évacuation de fumée et de chaleur. Son champ d'application est clair et précis, ce qui en fait un outil essentiel pour les professionnels du bâtiment et de la sécurité incendie. L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans son approche systématique de l'évaluation de la conformité des produits utilisés dans les systèmes de contrôle de la fumée. En spécifiant des exigences détaillées et en fournissant des références aux méthodes d'essai normalisées, elle garantit que les sections de conduits de contrôle de la fumée, ainsi que les composants associés tels que les supports, répondent aux standards de sécurité requis. Cette norme est donc d'une pertinence cruciale pour assurer la sécurité des occupants d'un bâtiment en cas d'incendie, en permettant une évacuation efficace de la fumée et une protection appropriée. De plus, la norme inclut des directives sur le marquage et les informations nécessaires pour l'installation et la maintenance des produits, ajoutant une couche de clarté pour les professionnels qui œuvrent à la mise en œuvre de ces systèmes. Cela favorise une compréhension commune des exigences, simplifiant l'intégration des produits sur le marché. Il est également notable que cette norme renvoie à d'autres documents, tels que les normes EN 1366-8, EN 1366-9 et EN 1366-1, pour le test de résistance au feu, ainsi qu'à la norme EN 13501-4 pour la classification correspondante des matériaux. Cette interconnexion montre la volonté de standardisation et d'harmonisation des exigences de sécurité incendie à un niveau européen, rendant la norme EN 12101-7:2011 encore plus pertinente dans un cadre multinational. En revanche, il est important de noter que cette norme ne couvre pas les effets néfastes causés par des produits chimiques de process dans l'atmosphère, ce qui serait pertinent pour certaines applications industrielles. Cependant, sa portée demeure centrée sur les systèmes de contrôle de la fumée dans les bâtiments, ce qui est son objectif principal.
