In addition to a number of editorial revisions, the following main changes have been made with respect
to EN 15650:2010:
— addition of more accurate definitions of fire dampers in Clause 3;
— addition of additional requirements and methodology to assess fire reaction of the product fire
dampers as a whole as an optional performance;

Introduction
A fire damper is used to prevent fire and reduce smoke spreading through the air ductwork system
which may penetrate fire separating walls and floors. Annex A gives descriptions of typical fire
dampers.
In the case of fire or elevated temperatures, the fire dampers should close automatically by means
contained within their own construction (e.g. a sensing 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 locally at the fire damper or remotely using controls (e.g.
maintenance, 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.
Example of inspection and maintenance procedure is given in Annex D.

fire damper
device for use in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems at fire boundaries to
maintain compartmentation and protect means of escape in case of fire

damper release device, causes the movable component of the fire damper to change from the “open” to
the “closed” position
3.3
actuator
device that moves the fire damper from the closed to open position and/or from the open to the closed
position, or allows the fire damper to modulate between open and closed positions and may provide
holding functionality at either/both the open or closed position
