Fire resistance tests for service installations - Part 10: Smoke control dampers

This document specifies test methods for smoke control dampers to assess their performance under elevated temperature or fire conditions, as well as at ambient temperatures.
Smoke control damper tests are used to confirm that the furnace testing requirements of EN 12101-8 are met and EN 12101-8 is for consideration before carrying out these tests.
Smoke control dampers tested to this document are expected to be classified using EN 13501-4 and this document is expected to be considered before carrying out these tests.
NOTE   Some smoke control dampers to be tested might require testing following the information given in EN 1366-2 and this needs consideration before carrying out testing.
This document is expected to be read in conjunction with EN 12101-8, EN 13501-4, EN 1366-2 and EN 1363-1, the latter giving further details for fire resistance testing.
For installation details, the requirements for smoke extraction ducts are for consideration and these are defined in EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9.

Overview

EN 1366-10:2022/FprA1 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies fire resistance test methods for smoke control dampers used in service installations. These tests evaluate the dampers’ performance under both ambient and elevated temperature or fire conditions. The standard supports compliance with the furnace testing requirements defined in EN 12101-8, and it is intended to be used alongside related standards such as EN 13501-4 for classification and EN 1366-2 for additional testing where necessary.

This amendment to EN 1366-10:2022 clarifies test procedures, updates fire resistance durations, and refines definitions-ensuring consistent and transparent assessment of smoke control dampers in fire scenarios to improve building safety.

Key Topics

• Scope of Testing
  Tests address both ambient temperature operation and elevated temperature/fire exposure for smoke control dampers. The aim is to confirm damper integrity and functionality during fire events.

• Performance Classification
  Smoke control dampers tested under this standard are expected to be classified according to EN 13501-4, which outlines fire resistance performance classes for building elements.

• Test Method Clarifications
  Amendments clarify terminology, including distinctions between duct-mounted and compartment-mounted smoke control dampers. Notably, the concept of symmetry in testing has been removed to ensure more precise evaluation.

• Fire Resistance Duration Updates
  Fire resistance test durations for compartment boundary mounted smoke control dampers have been revised-for example, the initial temperature exposure test time changed from 25 minutes to 30 seconds and another stage from 26 minutes to 90 seconds.

• Application Guidance
  The amendment updates clauses concerning the applicability of test results to different structural elements, including restrictions for multi-compartment smoke control dampers applied to walls or floors similar or denser than those tested.

• Cross-Referenced Standards
  Tests should consider requirements in EN 12101-8 (smoke and heat control systems), EN 1366-2 (fire resistance tests for ducts), EN 13501-4 (classification of fire resistance), EN 1363-1 (general fire resistance testing), and EN 1366-8/9 (requirements for smoke extraction ducts).

Applications

EN 1366-10:2022/FprA1 serves multiple practical purposes:

• Building Safety Design and Certification
  It guides manufacturers and testing laboratories in validating smoke control damper performance under fire conditions, essential for fire safety certification in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings.

• Fire Protection Engineering
  Fire engineers and consultants utilize this standard to specify dampers that maintain compartmentation and control smoke movement during fires, crucial for occupant safety and fire spread limitation.

• HVAC System Compliance
  Ensures that smoke control dampers integrated into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems meet fire safety requirements.

• Retrofit and Maintenance Evaluation
  Provides a framework to re-assess existing smoke control dampers in service installations for continued compliance and safety assurance in renovated or aging infrastructure.

Related Standards

• EN 12101-8: Defines furnace testing requirements and performance criteria for smoke and heat control dampers. EN 1366-10 testing aligns with this standard to verify compliance.

• EN 13501-4: Specifies classification procedures for fire resistance of smoke control dampers, into which EN 1366-10 test results feed.

• EN 1366-2: Covers fire resistance tests for ventilation ducts and may apply in cases where certain smoke control dampers require additional testing beyond EN 1366-10.

• EN 1363-1: Provides general fire resistance test procedures referenced by EN 1366-10 for testing setups and conditions.

• EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9: Detail installation requirements for smoke extraction ducts, relevant for planning smoke control damper installation.
