What is BS EN 12101-10 – Electrical requirements and test methods for smoke and heat control systems about?
BS EN 12101-10 discusses lifting bag systems for fire and rescue service use. The aim of the BS EN 12101-10 is to provide manufacturers with requirements and test methods that help minimize the risk hazards. BS EN 12101-10 is the 10th part of the BS EN 12101 series of standards that specifies requirements and gives test methods for primary and secondary electrical and pneumatic power supply equipment, designed for use in smoke and heat control systems in buildings. It also provides for the evaluation of conformity of such equipment to the requirements of BS EN 12101-10.
Who is BS EN 12101-10 - Electrical requirements and test methods for smoke and heat control systems for?
BS EN 12101-10 on smoke and heat control systems is useful for:
- Smoke and heat control systems manufacturers
- Smoke and heat control systems design engineers
- Accident and hazard prevention organizations
- Quality control and testing authorities
- Fire safety department
Why should you use BS EN 12101-10 - Electrical requirements and test methods for smoke and heat control systems?
Smoke and heat control systems are used to protect people, buildings and/or building contents from the effects of smoke and heat in the event of fire. The most common systems are smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEVS) and pressure differential systems. A heat and smoke exhaust ventilation system is a scheme of safety equipment intended to perform a positive role in a fire emergency. For these benefits to be obtained it is essential that smoke and heat exhaust ventilators operate fully and reliably whenever called upon to do so during their installed life.
BS EN 12101-10 provides electrical, mechanical and pneumatic requirements that you shall adhere to while manufacturing and designing the smoke and heat control systems. This will ensure that smoke and heat control systems comply with the safety standards.
BS EN 12101-10 provides electrical and pneumatic functional test methods that help to demonstrate the ability of the equipment to function correctly. This ensures that smoke and heat control systems work efficiently and are reliable to prevent any hazardous situation.
BS EN 12101-10 helps in the evaluation of conformity of product by using initial type testing and factory production control method that helps comply with the requirements of the technical specification and that the performance declarations represent the true behaviour of the product. BS EN 12101-10 also helps you to check the performance declarations of your product based on initial type testing so that the results remain valid for subsequent products.
Following the guidelines in BS EN 12101-10 allows you to design and manufacture smoke and heat control systems that meet industry standards.
