EN 12101-3 Smoke and Heat Control Systems - Part 3: Specification for Electric Smoke and Heat Control Ventilators (Fans)

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12101-3 testing. This European standard specifies product specifications for electric smoke and temperature controlled ventilators (fans) intended for use as part of an electrical smoke and temperature controlled ventilation system in construction works. It provides the test and evaluation methods of the features and the eligibility criteria of the test evaluation results.

This European standard applies to:

• Fans for smoke and temperature controlled ventilation;
• Impulse/jet fans for smoke and temperature controlled ventilation;

Smoke and temperature controlled ventilation systems create a smokeless layer on the floor by removing smoke, thereby improving conditions for the safe escape or rescue of people and animals, protecting property and allowing fires to be dealt with while it is still in progress. early stages. They also consume the hot gases released by a fire during the development phase.

The use of smoke and temperature-controlled ventilation systems has become widespread to create smoke-free spaces under a layer of non-removing smoke. The values ​​of helping people evacuate from construction works, reducing fire damage and financial loss by preventing smoke accumulation, facilitating fire fighting, lowering roof temperatures and delaying the lateral spread of fire have been determined.

Depending on the design of the system and the ventilator, electric or natural smoke and heat ventilators may be used in a smoke and heat control system. Electric smoke and heat control ventilators (fans) can be installed on the roof or top of the walls of the building, or in a ducted system with the ventilator inside or outside the smokehouse or in a factory room.
