EN 12101-7:2011 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard contains the basic performance and requirements for smoke control duct sections, which are to be used in conjunction with pressure differential systems and smoke and heat control systems. They may also be used to pressurise when gas extinguishing systems are used. Particular reference is required to EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9, which define the fire resistance testing associated with these products and EN 13501-4, which provides details on their fire resistance classification. In addition to the prevention of transmission of smoke and combustion products from a fire zone, smoke control duct sections are utilised to contain the spillage of otherwise harmful and toxic extinguishing gases from the affected area, and for the control of pressurising and excess air relief within pressurisation systems. Smoke control systems are designed to fulfil three basic functions. These are: a) the extraction of smoke from a single fire compartment to the outside of the building; b) the extraction of smoke from fire compartments of a building, using a SHEVS connected to one or more fire compartments. The smoke control duct may or may not pass through other compartments of the building to reach the outside of the building; c) the use of pressurisation to maintain smoke free clear areas. Smoke control ducts are commonly used in smoke and heat control systems. They may serve single compartments or a number of different fire compartments. The systems may be dedicated smoke extraction or possibly a combined environmental ventilation/smoke extraction. The smoke and heat control system may remove smoke using either high temperature fans (in accordance with EN 12101-3) or natural ventilators (in accordance with EN 12101-2). SIST EN 12101-7:2011

The areas for which products supplied to this European Standard are considered applicable include for example: a) commercial premises, b) shopping and retail centres, c) hospitals, d) multi-residential buildings. Smoke control duct sections are intended for use in the following types of systems, including: a) pressurisation, SIST EN 12101-7:2011
EN 12101-7:2011 (E) 7 b) pressure relief, c) extraction systems, d) ductwork systems, e) inerting fire suppression systems. It is realised that all the above systems do not address smoke directly, but similar properties are required of such smoke control ducts to limit leakage in a fire and smoke control situation.
