Smoke and heat control systems - Part 1: Specification for smoke barriers

This part of EN 12101 specifies the product performance requirements, classifications and test methods for smoke barriers, which comprise the barrier itself, with or without associated activation and drive devices, designed for use in smoke and heat control systems. It covers only barriers installed in buildings, i.e. it does not cover barriers made of part of the building's structure. This standard provides the test methods for, and evaluation of conformity of, the smoke barrier systems.

which is an integral part of this document. This European Standard is one part of the European Standard EN 12101, which has the general title “Smoke and heat control systems” and consists of the following separate parts: 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 5: Guidelines on functional recommendations and calculation methods for smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (published as CR 12101-5) Part 6: Specification for pressure differential systems — Kits. Part 7: Smoke control ducts. Part 8: Specification for smoke control dampers. Part 9: Control panels. Part 10: Specification for power supplies. EN 12101 is included in a series of European Standards planned also to cover: a) CO2 systems (EN 12094 & EN ISO 14520); b) sprinkler systems (EN 12259); c) powder systems (EN 12416); d) explosion protection systems (EN 26184); e) foam systems (EN 13565); f) hose reel systems (EN 671);

 shop unit containment;  escalator containment;  stairwell containment;  elevator well containment. 0.4 Types of smoke barrier Construction works elements can be used to create static smoke barriers, and they can be augmented by smoke barriers covered by this standard. This European Standard applies to the following types of smoke barriers:  static smoke barriers: (SSB),  active smoke barriers: (ASB). A wide range of different materials may be used to create smoke barriers. Typical materials used for static smoke barriers include fabric, glass, metal, fire-resisting board, fibreglass and mineral wool or any impermeable material capable of resisting the smoke at temperatures required by the design. Typical examples of active smoke barriers include roller, pleated, folding, hinged or sliding, using the types of material as described for static smoke barriers. Static and active smoke barriers are categorized by type and performance in Clause 4. In addition an ASB product is deemed to include all controlling equipment etc. This does not include external controls, for example a fire alarm or a sprinkler flow switch.

3.1 General terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 13943:2000 and the following apply. 3.1.1 active smoke barrier smoke barrier which moves from its retracted position into its fire operational position automatically when called upon to do so 3.1.2 barrier movement travel distance (e.g. height, drop) of an active barrier from its retracted position to its fire operational position 3.1.3 channelling screen smoke barrier installed beneath a balcony or projecting canopy to direct the flow of smoke and hot gases from a room opening to the spill edge 3.1.4 consumable power supplies any form of power that when not available will prevent an active smoke barrier moving to the required fire operational position

The heat exposure at 600°C, designated D, represents the constant temperature of the smoke barrier test. The designations 30, 60, 90, 120 represent the period of the smoke barrier test. A smoke barrier which meets the requirements of D 60 also meets the requirements of D 30; equally, a D 90, or D120, smoke barrier also meets the requirements of D 60 and D 30, and D90, respectively. A DA smoke barrier meets all D requirements. If smoke barriers are to operate at higher time/temperature ranges, they shall be classified in accordance with the classification categories in Table 2. The testing shall meet the time temperature requirements of EN 1363-1.

The performance requirements of smoke barrier test specimens when tested in accordance with Annex D are as follows. a) Test specimens shall conform to A.1. b) Test specimens shall maintain integrity, without either: 1) permitting the penetration of a gap gauge (except for those free areas defined in 4.4.1 and 5.5); 2) resulting in sustained flaming; 3) collapsing. c) Test specimens shall not release flaming droplets or particles within the first 600 s when tested in accordance with this standard. NOTE Observation of any components or droplets falling during the test will be recorded in the test report. When selecting a barrier for a particular application where falling components would be considered a significant threat to occupants, for example where people are expected to escape beneath smoke barriers, the full test report should be obtained and checked. 5.3 Reliability and durability of smoke barriers 5.3.1 Reliability and durability of smoke barriers — Static smoke barriers The manufacturer/supplier shall provide verification that the materials used for static smoke barriers are fit for the purpose intended. For integrity and perforations see B.3, and for gaps see 5.5.3. NOTE This should be done taking into account, for example, breaking loads, tear strength, flexural strength and resistance to flexing requirements valid in the place of use. 5.3.2 Reliability of smoke barriers — Active smoke barriers Active smoke barrier specimens conforming to A.1 shall be tested in accordance with the reliability test in Annex B and shall complete the required number of cycles and shall then not allow the passage of either of the defined gap gauges (except for those free areas defined in 4.4.1 and 5.5). 5.4 Response time of active smoke barriers Active smoke barrier specimens conforming to A.1 shall be tested in accordance with the response time test in annex B and shall operate within the velocity ranges specified in this clause.

afebcd1 Key 1 Barrier NOTE Smoke flow through the head box is controlled by the smallest gap when the barrier is in the fire operational position. Gaps a - f are representative of the potential smallest gaps. It is recommended to use the gap a – f with the smallest value.

Area joint NOTE 1 For functional reasons gaps can be required between the barrier and the construction works, and for angled and adjacent barriers. In these cases any gap, based on the maximum travel distance specified by the manufacturer should not exceed: a) 20 mm for barriers which travel up to and including 2 m; b) 40 mm for barriers which travel from 2 m up to and including 6 m;

AAA-A1 Key 1 Barrier Figure 8 — Example of static smoke barrier, flexible or rigid material 5.5.4 Deflection Static and active smoke barriers shall perform in accordance with the functional requirements of the system design, other SHEVS design requirements and construction works requirements, for the intended application.
In all tests, the smoke barrier shall be mounted as in practice, including the specified barrier mass and tensioning force, where required to reduce deflection. Deflection shall be assessed using a suitable method of calculating deflection to ensure that it is valid for the application. A method of calculating deflection is given in Annex E. Smoke barriers in continuous, overlapped and conjoined runs provide additional resistance to deflection and smoke leakage. The gaps between adjacent smoke barriers conforming to 5.5.3 will be

5.5.5 Permeability of materials Smoke barriers shall be manufactured from materials conforming to Annex C with a maximum leakage rate of 25m³/h/m2 at 25 Pa at ambient temperature or 200 °C. 6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1 General The compliance of a smoke barrier with the requirements of this standard shall be demonstrated by:  initial type testing;  factory production control.
