Copyright 2017 National Fire Protection Association . All Rights Reserved. NFPA 92 Standard for Smoke Control Systems 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA

32、92, Standard for Smoke Control Systems, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Smoke Management Systems. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 10, 2017, with an effective date of November 30, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 92 was approved as an Amer

33、ican National Standard on November 30, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 92 The NFPA Standards Council established the Technical Committee on Smoke Management Systems in 1985 and charged it with addressing the need for guidelines and materials on smoke management in buildings. The Committees rst

34、document, NFPA 92A, Recommended Practice for Smoke-Control Systems, was published in 1988 and addressed smoke control utilizing barriers, airows, and pressure differentials so as to conne the smoke of a re to the zone of re origin to maintain a tenable environment in other zones. The complex problem

35、 of maintaining tenable conditions within large zones of re origin such as atria and shopping malls represented a more difcult issue in terms of the physics involved and thus was reserved for another document, NFPA 92B, Guide for Smoke Management Systems in Malls, Atria, and Large Areas, rst publish

36、ed in 1991. Between 1991 and 2009, NFPA 92A and NFPA 92B were separately maintained. In 2006, NFPA 92A was rewritten as a standard with mandatory provisions regarding design, installation, and testing of smoke-control systems and was renamed Smoke-Control Systems Utilizing Barriers and Pressure Diff

37、erences. In 2005 and 2006, both documents were reorganized to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Both documents eventually contained many of the same requirements for design objectives, activation, and installation. In the Annual 2011 revision cycle, NFPA 92A and

38、 NFPA 92B were withdrawn and replaced with a new document, NFPA 92, Standard for Smoke Control Systems. NFPA 92 was created using requirements from both of the original documents, removing duplicate provisions and making numerous editorial changes. The new document used the term smoke control system

39、s to address both containment and management systems. With the consolidation effort, the new standard covered the following topics: design of smoke management systems and calculations, design of smoke containment systems, design of stairwell pressurization systems, and testing requirements. The 2015

40、 edition includes editorial revisions and new requirements addressing draft curtain materials. New to the 2018 edition of NFPA 92 is the addition of requirements regarding the verication of dedicated smoke control equipment through use of the weekly self-test function. A new annex on tenability was

41、added to provide guidelines for designers to assess tenable conditions in spaces protected by smoke control systems, in connected spaces, and of means of egress elements during the operation of a smoke control system.SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEMS 92-2 2018 Edition Technical Committee on Smoke Management Sys
