17、15423:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This document gives guidance for system designers, installers, commissioners and maintenance teams on the incorporation of protective measures for air distribution systems including dual purpose systems for smoke and heat exhaust systems within buildings, to prevent the init
18、iation and the spread of fire, smoke and other by-products of combustion. This document intends to only support any national (building) regulations, which are the basis of any design of a building or parts of it. It is up to the designer to enquire about the suitability (in particular in legal terms
19、) of a specific solution given in this document (e.g. although “dual purpose systems” are covered in this document, they may not be permitted in some Member States or only in certain types of buildings). This document applies to all air distribution systems including dual purpose systems (except sys
20、tems only dedicated to smoke exhaust systems, which are dealt in other European standards) including technical rooms or spaces for the installation of devices to assist in ventilation of a building (e.g. distance of storage of combustible materials to devices and not the fire resistance of the build
21、ing structure), penetrations, and following components/products used in the system like: inlet/outlet louvres; fans not exposed / exposed to the smoke; air control dampers; ducts; fire control dampers; air terminal devices; anchors and supports; duct fittings; control panels; cables and connections;
22、 air handling units; air filters; sound attenuators; heat exchangers.

40、f spreading fire and smoke gases in the case of fire. The materials used in buildings, air distribution systems and their components shall not contribute to the development of fire in accordance with any local requirement. If there are local requirements on the reaction to fire of materials and/or r
41、esistance to fire, they shall be observed. 4.2 Design of air distribution systems Air distribution systems shall be turned off in case of fire, unless local requirements allow for other procedures. 4.3 Installation Use the manufacturers instructions for all components.

A product shall be tested as a complete assembly with all necessary components which affect fire resistance performance as described in the product standard. Optional accessories can be available
44、 for a product. BS EN 15423:2008EN 15423:2008 (E) 8 Two types of accessories can be provided: fire tested accessory, non fire tested accessory; these need to be studied and calculated inside the complete design of the complete ventilation system. When accessories, modifications, coatings etc. affect
45、 fire resistance performance, the product shall be tested both with and without these (for example: with and without painting) and conform to relevant standards. NOTE When accessories do not affect fire resistance performance, they can be supplied and fitted on site. Annex B presents relevant standa
46、rds for each component and their characteristics. 5.2 Inlet/outlet louvres 5.2.1 Component If the louvres are on the external wall of the building no special requirement is needed. 5.2.2 Installation Location of inlet and outlet louvres shall be in accordance with EN 13779. 5.2.3 Commissioning Confo

Depending on the application, it may be
49、used to switch off the motor or to warn of a thermal overload. If necessary fans should be protected, and when they are not connected to a duct they should be protected with metal screens, grids or similar to prevent the entrance of paper, rubbish, and similar foreign material. For fans in air handling units, see also 5.12. 5.3.1.2 Installation Fans shall be located, arranged and installed to afford access for commissioning and maintenance. Fans shall be installed in accordance with the relevant standards and the manufactu
