Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

Introduction
When smoke and heat exhaust ventilation is being considered, it becomes apparent that a clear path
between the area where heat and smoke is being generated (source of the fire) and the outside of the
building is needed.
To create this path ducts and an uninterrupted smoke extract path are needed. This means that smoke
control dampers at the fire and along the path are open and will remain open. Smoke control dampers at
branches, or on the surface of the duct, along the path are closed and will remain closed. In fact, if the duct
crosses a compartment boundary it becomes part of the fire compartment in which the fire started.
The purpose of this document is to define test methods to evaluate the abilities of smoke control dampers
to:
a) be applicable to single compartment and/or multi compartment fire resisting applications;
b) be applicable to automatic systems or systems with manual activation;
c) change state from closed to open at elevated temperatures, (and vice versa);
d) once opened maintain a defined cross-sectional area at elevated temperature or under fire conditions
following the standard time/temperature curve; and
e) maintain a satisfactory leakage performance when subjected to negative pressure at elevated
temperatures or under fire conditions following the standard time/temperature curve.
The units are mounted for the tests in a manner representative of practice.
Temperature and integrity measurements are carried out on various parts of the test construction during
the test. The required leakage measurements are measured by direct flow measurement at the prescribed
pressure differentials. Ambient leakage of the units is also recorded.
The satisfactory passing of some, or all, of these tests will allow products to be assessed in accordance
with EN 12101-8 and be classified to EN 13501-4. The required temperatures, pressure differentials etc.
are stated in EN 12101-8. EN 13501-4 requires a classification report.
CAUTION:
The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this furnace testing is drawn to
the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful smoke
and gases can be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards can also arise during the
construction of the test elements or structures, their testing and disposal of test residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions should
be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training should be
given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety
instructions at all times.
1 Scope
This document specifies test methods for smoke control dampers to assess their performance under
elevated temperature or fire conditions, as well as at ambient temperatures.
Smoke control damper tests are used to confirm that the furnace testing requirements of EN 12101-8 are
met and EN 12101-8 is for consideration before carrying out these tests.
Smoke control dampers tested to this document are expected to be classified using EN 13501-4 and this
document is expected to be considered before carrying out these tests.
NOTE Some smoke control dampers to be tested might require testing following the information given in EN
1366-2 and this needs consideration before carrying out testing.
This document is expected to be read in conjunction with EN 12101-8, EN 13501-4, EN 1366-2 and
EN 1363-1, the latter giving further details for fire resistance testing.
For installation details, the requirements for smoke extraction ducts are for consideration and these are
defined in EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9.

4 Test equipment
4.1 General
In addition to the test equipment specified in EN 1363-1, the equipment in the following clauses is
required (examples of test arrangements are given in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 8 and Figure 9).
4.2 Test duct for surface mounted SCDs
See 5.2.2.2 and 5.2.2.3.
4.3 Connecting duct for compartment boundary mounted SCDs
4.3.1 Compartmentation test
See EN 1366-2.
4.3.2 Maintenance of opening test
The duct connector (Figure 9, item 9) shall be classified in accordance with EN 13501-4 and match the
damper cross section.
A normal steel fabricated duct may be used for the mounting of the perforated plate (Figure 9, item 5).
The perforated plate mounting duct shall have a cross section 1 000 mm × 250 mm and have a minimum
length of 2 m. The perforated plate mounting duct may be provided with a gas tight observation window.
4.4 Cycling equipment
Full information on the equipment needed to perform the cycling tests is shown in Annex A. In addition,
the following shall be considered:
Equipment shall be required to control a supply to allow the smoke control damper actuator to be cycled.
This equipment shall be able to provide the nominal operating motive force less 10 %, plus 15 %, and be
variable between these values to confirm that the smoke control damper shall operate at the extremes. If
the unit to be tested requires a control signal of any type this shall be provided in addition and shall be
able to give the device a signal at each extreme and any in between these.
Methods of adding a load to the smoke control damper are required (see Annex A).
NOTE A device that allows the smoke control damper to be cycled automatically, together with a method of
recording completed cycles, would be useful. A test could thereby be set to run without attendance, noting that each
cycle could potentially take 120 s.
4.5 Condensing unit
When performing the compartmentation test, there could be a requirement for a condensing unit,
because the smoke control damper could generate some steam; refer to EN 1366-2.
4.6 Gas temperature measuring devices
These shall be positioned adjacent to the flow measuring device. A suitable device is a 1,5 mm diameter
sheathed thermocouple (Type K) orientated vertically with its measuring junction located at the centre
line of the measuring duct and at a distance equal to twice the diameter of the measuring duct
downstream from the flow measuring device. A similar thermocouple shall be located at the exit from the
connecting duct plenum (see Figure 8, Figure 19, Figure 20).
4.7 Exhaust fan system
This shall be capable of controlling the flow rates and maintaining the speci
...
