Ventilation for buildings - Fire dampers
This document applies to fire dampers used in conjunction with fire separating elements to maintain fire compartments. This document specifies requirements and gives reference to test methods defined for fire dampers, which are installed in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) installations in buildings. Details are given for the provision of evaluation of conformity and marking of fire dampers.
To avoid duplication, reference is made to a variety of other standards. To this end, it is advised to read this document in conjunction with EN 1366 2 for details of the fire resistance testing and EN 13501 3 for classification.
Fire dampers meeting the requirements of this document may be considered suitable for both ducted and unducted applications.
This document does not consider in detail the detrimental and/or corrosive effects that can be caused by chemical processes present in the atmosphere, which are drawn through the system intentionally or inadvertently and therefore does not apply to fire dampers used in such applications. An indication of salt spray corrosion can be determined using the method described in Annex B.
This document is not applicable to non-mechanical fire barriers nor to air transfer grilles.

Dieses Dokument gilt für Brandschutzklappen, die zusammen mit raumabschließenden Bauteilen zur Aufrechterhaltung von Brandabschnitten verwendet werden. Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen fest und verweist auf Prüfverfahren für Brandschutzklappen, die zum Einbau in raumlufttechnische Anlagen in Gebäuden vorgesehen sind. Es werden Einzelheiten zur Bewertung der Konformität und zur Kennzeichnung von Brandschutzklappen angegeben.
Zur Vermeidung von Doppelnennungen wird auf eine Anzahl weiterer Normen verwiesen. Insbesondere gilt dieses Dokument in Verbindung mit EN 1366 2 für die Prüfungen der Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit sowie mit EN 13501 3 hinsichtlich der Klassifizierung.
Brandschutzklappen, die die Anforderungen dieses Dokuments erfüllen, sind sowohl mit als auch ohne angeschlossene Lüftungsleitungen anwendbar.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Brandschutzklappen in Atmosphären, die planmäßig oder außerplanmäßig aufgrund chemischer Reaktionen eine schädigende und/oder Korrosion verursachende Wirkung auf diese ausüben. Die Auswirkung von Salznebelkorrosion auf Brandschutzklappen kann mit dem in Anhang B beschriebenen Verfahren ermittelt werden.
Dieses Dokument ist weder auf nichtmechanische Brandschutzverschlüsse noch auf Lüftungsbausteine anwendbar.

Introduction
This document contains the basic performance and requirements for fire dampers.
A fire damper is used to prevent fire and reduce smoke spreading from one fire compartment to
another through the air ductwork system which may penetrate fire separating walls and floors. Annex A
gives descriptions of typical fire dampers.
Where the words “separating element” are used in this document, they should be taken to mean e.g. a
wall, a floor, a ceiling or any other barrier that is designed to maintain compartmentation. This covers
any type of construction (e.g. block and mortar, concrete, board or mineral wool).
In the case of fire or elevated temperatures, the fire dampers should close automatically by means
contained within their own construction (e.g. a thermal activation element). As an addition, fire
dampers may be closed by an external signal.
All fire dampers close automatically in response to raised temperatures indicating fire.
Fire dampers can be closed or reset externally, internally or remotely for maintenance purposes.
Particular reference should be made to EN 1366-2, which defines the furnace testing associated with
fire dampers and EN 13501-3, which provides details on fire resistance classification of fire dampers.
Consideration of any caution notices within any fire testing standards (e.g. health and safety) should be
considered before undertaking any fire testing.
In addition, the aerodynamic performance of fire dampers should be tested in accordance with
EN 1751, if such information is to be presented by a manufacturer.
The areas for which products supplied to this document are considered applicable include, but are not
limited to, the following:
a) commercial premises;
b) shopping and retail centres;
c) hospitals;
d) multi-residential buildings.
Example of inspection and maintenance procedure is given in Annex D.

4 Requirements
4.1 Nominal activation conditions/sensitivity
4.1.1 General
Fire dampers shall have one safety position, fully closed. This is required to maintain
compartmentation. The reset position is when the fire damper is open to allow air flow.
Fire dampers may be open as part of a heating and ventilating system and shall close only on the receipt
of:
— an elevated temperature; or
— an additional input signal.
Consequently, fire dampers shall:
a) move to and maintain their closed position;
b) have known leakage characteristics;
c) include a thermal release mechanism that causes the fire damper to close (this may be function of
their design), where the thermal release mechanism uses a sensing element which shall be tested in
accordance with 5.2.5;
d) be fire resistant to maintain compartmentation in closed position.

NOTE A facility for manual override to open and close the fire damper for inspection purposes can be useful
and can be included in the product design. This would be of use during commissioning even if no power is
available on site.
4.1.2 Sensitivity
4.1.2.1 Sensing element response temperature
The thermal release mechanism shall be equipped with a sensing element with response temperature
in accordance with test method referred to in 5.2.5.
4.1.2.2 Sensing element load bearing capacity
The thermal release mechanism shall be equipped with a sensing element with load bearing capacity is
in accordance with test method referred to in 5.2.5.
4.1.3 Actuating mechanisms
Actuating mechanisms shall be constructed and assembled to have the strength and rigidity necessary
to perform the design operations to which they may be subjected, without the loosening or
displacement of parts, or other serious defects when subjected to the tests referred to in Annex C.
Actuating mechanism construction shall be such that it does not cause a fire damper to fail the test by
flaming outside of the furnace and outside the duct.
As smoke is seen as being as, if not more, dangerous than fire, closing actuating mechanisms may be
used that close the unit early as the result of, for instance, a fire alarm.
The actuating mechanism shall form a part of the tested fire damper assembly.
The actuating mechanism shall be assessed by an IP42 test as a minimum in accordance with EN 60529.
4.1.4 Actuators
Actuators may be designed as an integral part of the actuating mechanism, or replace it all together. If
the actuator as itself is the actuating mechanism then it shall be assessed by an IP42 test as a minimum
in accordance with EN 60529. They may be manufactured by the fire damper manufacturer or supplied
by a third party.
NOTE Actuators are generally powered in some way, for example electrically or pneumatically.
Actuators shall be constructed and assembled to have the strength and rigidity necessary to perform
the design operations to which they may be subjected, without the loosening or displacement of parts,
or other serious defects when subjected to the tests referred to in Annex C.
Actuator construction shall be such that it does not cause a fire damper to fail the test by flaming
outside of the furnace and outside the duct or collapsing and causing other issues that might cause the
fire damper to fail the fire test.
Where modulating actuators allowing fire dampers to give variable volume control are to be supplied,
these shall be subjected to more extensive cycle testing according to Annex C.
As smoke is seen as being as, if not more, dangerous than fire, actuators may be used that close the unit
early as the result of, for instance, a fire alarm.
The actuator shall form a part of the tested construction. Any actuator associated with a fire damper for
everyday use shall be tested at the same time as the fire damper to ensure that it does not cause the fire
damper to fail in any way that may have not been foreseen.
