18、 floor,or help to reduce smoke and heat build-up, by removing smoke and hot gasesreleased by a fire in the development stage. In doing this, smoke control systemshelp to:a) keep escape and access routes free from smoke;b) facilitate firefighting operations;c) delay and/or prevent flashover and thus
19、full development of the fire;d) protect equipment and furnishings;e) reduce thermal effects on structural components during a fire; andf) reduce damage caused by thermal decomposition products and hot gases.The use of smoke control systems has become widespread. Their value inassisting in the evacua
20、tion of buildings, reducing fire damage and financial lossby preventing smoke logging, facilitating firefighting, reducing rooftemperatures and retarding the lateral spread of fire is firmly established. Forthese benefits to be realized, however, it is essential that smoke control systemsoperate ful
21、ly and reliably whenever called upon to do so during their installedlife.A smoke control system is made up of components that have generally beentested to recognized European and International standards, and needs to beinstalled as part of a properly designed system. The most relevant standardsappli
22、cable to smoke control systems are BS EN 12101 and BS ISO 21927. Typicalsystem implementation involves the selection of appropriate products, suitabledeployment of these products and ensuring they are then interconnected andcontrolled in such a way as to meet the design criteria.The recommendations
23、for the design, planning, installation, commissioning, useand maintenance of a smoke control system are set out in the order given inFigure 1.The first step in the design process is to assess the needs of the building for asmoke control system (see Clause 5). When a decision is taken as to the type
24、andpurpose of the system, the planning and detailed design process begins(Clause 6).The third step is installation, which includes mounting and interconnecting thecomponents (see Clause 7).The fourth step is the commissioning of the system and verification of correctoperation (see Clause 8).Once the
25、 smoke control system is handed over to the relevant responsibleperson, it is important that the system is maintained and serviced to ensure itremains fully operational (Clause 9).The statutory responsibilities for a smoke control systems are set out in Annex A.Annex B provides model certificates fo
26、r the various steps of an installation,while Annex C provides a model format of a system logbook. Annex D containsfigures relating to the location of roof ventilators in areas potentially subject topositive pressures.BRITISH STANDARD BS 7346-8:2013 The British Standards Institution 2013 1Figure 1 Pr

28、 systems, includingsmoke clearance, in and around buildings. The recommendations are applicableto systems intended for the protection of life and/or protection of property,including:a) natural smoke ventilation;b) mechanical smoke ventilation;c) smoke barriers;d) smoke and heat exhaust ducts;e) smok
29、e dampers, andtheir controls, power supplies and interconnections.This British Standard is not applicable to non-fire-related functions of smokecontrol systems.This British Standard does not give recommendations as to whether or not toinstall smoke control systems in any given premises.2 Normative r
