buildings, or if you install AOVs and smoke control systems, take note of this important information from SE Controls.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the building owner or manager is responsible for ensuring the smoke ventilation system is compliant. Compliance doesn’t just building which is safe for occupation.
If a contractor is used to install or maintain the smoke ventilation system, make sure they can provide evidence that the system is compliant, and therefore safe. Below are some key things to look out for.
EN 12101
For a product to be placed on the market in the European Economic Area, it must be CE marked. Under the Construction Product Regulations, it must be CE marked to a particular standard, in the case of smoke ventilation it is to the EN 12101 suite of standards. A Declaration of Performance (DoP) can only be issued if these requirements have been met.
