Smoke Ventilation systems must adhere to current regulation BS7346: Part 1, 1990, BS9999:2008 BS5588 and (RRO) The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005.
Each site requires 6 Monthly service schedule carried out by trained engineers to keep all elements of smoke vents in good working order.
Smoke Vent Control Systems are an important part of the fire defence strategy. Make sure your systems are maintained and in good working condition in the event of a fire.
When a fire breaks out in the property, the major cause of fatalities is not caused by the fire itself, but the smoke.
Therefore, to prevent the vents from failing over a period of time, the smoke vent systems will require on-going maintenance. The maintenance will involve testing and repairing all elements of the smoke vent system including the fire alarm.
However, what we have observed in many buildings,that the smoke vent systems, whether it be, smoke vent windows or doors are failing due to lack of a maintenance. It would appear that the fire alarm maintenance is being carried out, but not the smoke vent maintenance.
