European foreword
This document (prEN 1366-9:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety
in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1366-9:2008.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— Method for determination of reduction in internal cross-section area is added;
— Positions for measurement of deflection of cross-section outside furnace are defined;
— Introduction of an alternative oxygen sampling probe;
— Use of two separate O analysers based on paramagnetic measurement method for the two sampling
points is mandatory;
— Direct field of application for vertical parts of duct within the smoke compartment, without
penetrating any wall/floor where fire resistance is required.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
EN 1366, Fire resistance tests for service installations consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Ventilation ducts
— Part 2: Fire dampers
— Part 3: Penetration seals
— Part 4: Linear joint seals
— Part 5: Service ducts and shafts
— Part 6: Raised access and hollow core floors

Introduction
This part of this European Standard has been prepared because a method of test for smoke extraction
ducts used in single compartment applications has become necessary. This test exposes a smoke
extraction duct to conditions intended to represent the pre-flashover stage of a fire.
Leakage is measured at both ambient temperature and exposure at 600 °C. During the tests, air/gases are
drawn through the duct at a differential pressure between the inside and outside of the duct. Leakage is
determined at ambient temperature by sealing the openings in the duct located in the furnace and taking
flow measurements through a flow measuring device located just before the extraction fan. With respect
to determining leakage at 600 °C, oxygen-measuring techniques are used.
CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire resistance
test is drawn to the fact that fire testing may be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or
harmful smoke and gases may be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards may 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 part of EN 1366 specifies a test method for determining the fire resistance of smoke extraction ducts
that are used for single compartment applications only. In such applications, the smoke extraction system
is only intended to function up to flashover (typically 600 °C).
This method of test is only suitable for ducts constructed from non-combustible materials (euro class A1
and A2-s1, d0).
It is applicable only to four sided and circular ducts. One-, two- and three-sided ducts are not covered.
This standard is applicable only for the standard sizes or smaller as described.
This test method of part 9 is applicable only to smoke extraction ducts that do not pass into other fire
compartments. For smoke extraction ducts that pass into other compartments, the method of test
described in EN 1366-8 is used.
The smoke extraction duct is part of the smoke extraction system which also includes smoke control
dampers and smoke extract fans.

4 Test equipment
4.1 General
In addition to the test equipment specified in EN 1363-1, the equipment in 4.2 to 4.4 is required. The
overall test arrangement is shown in Figure 1. Details of instrumentation and other details are shown in
Figures 2 to 10.
