Foreword
This document (prEN 12101-9:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 191 “Fixed
firefighting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
This European Standard is one of ten parts of the European standard EN 12101 covering smoke and
heat control systems.
This European Standard has the general title Smoke and heat control systems and consists of the
following ten parts:
Part 1, Specification for smoke barriers — Requirements and test methods
Part 2, Specification for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
Part 3, Specification for powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
Part 4, Natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems — Installation and test methods
Part 5, Design and calculation for smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (published as
CR 12101-5)
Part 6, Design and calculation methods and installation procedure for pressure differential smoke
control systems
Part 7, Specifications for smoke ducts
Part 8, Specifications for smoke dampers
Part 9, Control panels
Part 10, Power supplies
EN 12101 is included in a series of European Standards planned to cover also:
 Gas extinguishing systems (EN 12094 and EN ISO 14520)
 Sprinkler systems (EN 12259)
 Powder systems (EN 12416)
 Explosion protection systems (EN 26184)
 Foam systems (EN 13565)
 Hose systems (EN 671)
 Water spray systems
Introduction
Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems create a smoke free layer above the floor by removing
smoke and thus improve the conditions for the safe escape and/or rescue of people and animals and
the protection of property and permit the fire to be fought while still in its early stages. They also
exhaust hot gases released by a fire in the developing stage.
The use of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems to create smoke free areas beneath a
buoyant smoke layer has become widespread. Their value in assisting in the evacuation of people
from construction works, reducing fire damage and financial loss by preventing smoke logging,
facilitating fire fighting, reducing roof temperatures and retarding the lateral spread of fire is firmly
established. For these benefits to be obtained it is essential that smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
operate fully and reliably whenever called upon to do so during their installed life. A heat and smoke
exhaust ventilation system is a scheme of safety equipment intended to perform a positive role in a
fire emergency.
Components for smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems should be installed as part of a properly
designed system.
Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems help to
 keep the escape and access routes free from smoke;
 facilitate fire fighting operations by creating a smoke free layer;
 delay and/or prevent flashover and thus full development of the fire;
 protect equipment and furnishings;
 reduce thermal effects on structural components during a fire;
 reduce damage caused by thermal decomposition products and hot gases.
Depending on the design of the system, natural or powered smoke and heat ventilators can be used
in a smoke and heat control system.
Control panels are required to control all moving components in a SHEVS system, such as:
 Natural ventilators.
 Powered ventilators.
 Smoke barriers.
 Smoke dampers.
 Air inlets.
SHEVS control panels may also provide control for day to day ventilation and signals to other fire
safety equipment under fire conditions.
SHEVS control panels may be for Extra Low Voltage or Low Voltage electrical systems or pneumatic
systems or any combination of these.
Power supply equipment for control panels are dealt with in EN 12101-10.
