CEN/TC 191/SC 1/WG 1 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: The design, construction and maintenance of smoke barriers for heat and smoke control (by evacuation, pressure differences) systems for installation in buildings or other construction works. Currently, there are 3 published standards from this subcommittee.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
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.
