Foreword
This document (prEN 12101-8:2004) 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.
EN 12101 ‘Smoke and heat control systems’ consists of the following:
Part 1: Specification for smoke barriers,
Part 2: Specification for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators,
Part 3: Specification for powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators,
Part 4: Fire and smoke control installations – Kits,
Part 6: Pressure differential systems – Kits,
Part 7: Smoke ducts,
Part 8: Smoke control dampers,
Part 9: Control panels and emergency 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
This standard contains the basic performance and requirements for smoke control dampers, that are
to be used in conjunction with pressure differential systems, smoke and heat control systems and
inerting gas fire suppression systems.
Where other standards or other appropriate design guides allow the use of smoke control dampers or
leakage rated fire dampers to limit the quantity of polluted air or combustion products released,
reference to these standards or design guides should be made.
Particular reference is required to prEN 1366-10, which defines the furnace testing associated with
these products.
In addition to the prevention of transmission of smoke and combustion products from a fire zone,
smoke control dampers are utilised to contain the spillage of otherwise harmful and toxic gases from
the affected area, and for the control of pressurising and excess air relief within pressurisation
systems.
Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEVS) 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 SHEVS 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 system components
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 systems should be installed as part of a properly designed
smoke and heat control system.
SHEVS 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.
Powered SHEVS should operate based on powered system components. The performance of the
powered smoke and heat exhaust system depends on:
 the temperature of the smoke,
 the size, number and location of the exhaust openings,
 the wind influence,
 the size, geometry and location of the inlet air openings,
 the time of actuation,
 the location and conditions of the system (for example arrangements and dimensions of the
building).
SHEVS are used in buildings or construction works where the particular (large) dimensions, shape or
configuration make smoke control necessary. Typical examples are:
 single and multi-storey shopping malls,
 single and multi-storey industrial buildings and warehouses; atria and complex buildings,
 enclosed car parks,
 stairways,
 tunnels,
 theatres.
Depending on differing circumstances and the situation of the building or construction works that can
affect their performance, powered or natural smoke and heat control systems or pressure differential
systems may be used.
It is specified in Parts 4 and 6 of this European Standard that powered and natural components shall
not be used to extract smoke and hot gases from the same smoke reservoir.
Special conditions apply where gas extinguishing systems (e.g. according to EN 12094 or
EN ISO 14520) are used (see Parts 4 and 6 of this standard).
A number of different system designs are commonly in use to fulfil this function and separate into
three distinct groups. These are:
i) natural dedicated smoke and/or heat control systems,
ii) powered dedicated smoke and/or heat control systems,
iii) powered smoke and/or heat control systems that are used during the day to day running
of the building or construction works and otherwise provide an environmental air
provision function.
Each can then be separated further into smoke and/or heat control systems that serve a single fire
compartment and those that, by the provision of smoke dampers, serve a number of fire
compartments.
The areas for which products supplied to this standard are considered applicable include for example:
a) commercial premises,
b) shopping and retail centres,
c) hospitals,
d) multi-residential buildings.
Smoke control dampers are intended for use in the following types of systems, including:
a) pressurisation,
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 dampers to limit leakage in a fire and smoke control situation.
It has been assumed in the preparation of this standard that the execution of its provisions are
entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
