CEN/TC 191/SC 1/WG 4 - Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (natural and powered) components, installation, commissioning and maintenance

This European Standard applies to smoke control dampers, placed on the market and intended to operate as part of a pressure differential system or smoke and heat control system. This standard specifies requirements and gives reference to the test methods defined for smoke control dampers and their associated components, such as actuators which are intended to be installed in such systems in buildings. It also provides for the evaluation of conformity of these products to the requirements of this standard. Furthermore, provision on marking and information on installation and maintenance of these products are also given.
This European Standard distinguish between two categories of smoke control dampers, i.e. single compartment smoke control dampers and multi-compartment fire resisting smoke control dampers.
Smoke control dampers covered by this European Standard can be installed into smoke control system ducts or onto the ducts´ surface. They can be installed also into a wall, floor or ceiling/roof elements or onto the surface of these elements.
To avoid duplication, reference is made to a variety of other standards. To this end, this standard is to be read in conjunction with EN 13501-4, prEN 1366-10 and EN 1366-2, for details of the furnace testing.
This standard does not consider in detail the detrimental and/or corrosive effects that may be caused by process chemicals present in the atmosphere, which are drawn through the system intentionally or inadvertently.

This Technical Report applies to SHEVS when installed in a building. This Technical Report specifies the ability of the system to meet the required performances of the SHEVS as specified by the design of the system. This Technical Report is to help to translate the detailed engineering plan into an installed system, but it does not state how the design is made. This Technical Report also covers requirements for components and compatibility between components to ensure that the requirements on the installed system will be met. This Technical report includes requirements for the assembly, installation, commissioning, function testing, maintenance, periodic servicing and routine testing of SHEVS.
