EN 1366-9 Fire Resistance Tests for Service Installations - Single Section Smoke Evacuation Ducts

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1366-9 testing. This standard specifies a test method for determining the fire resistance of smoke evacuation ducts used for single chamber applications only.

In such applications, the smoke extraction system is intended to operate only up to flashover (typically 600 °C). This test method is only suitable for ducts made of non-combustible materials.

It can only be applied to four-sided and circular ducts. Ducts on one, two and three sides are not lined. This test is designed to cover horizontal smoke evacuation ducts for single-chamber applications only. This test method in Chapter 9 is only applicable to smoke evacuation ducts that do not pass through other fire compartments. Represents a developing fire (pre-flashover) exposure to fire. The test method described in EN 1366-8 should be used for smoke evacuation ducts passing through other compartments. The smoke evacuation duct is a part of the smoke evacuation system, which also includes smoke control dampers and smoke evacuation fans.

The method described in this test standard is complex and requires sophisticated instrumentation. Therefore, it is not recommended that you try to test more than one assembly in this test.
