BS ISO 10294-1:1996+A1:2014

Fire resistance tests. Fire dampers for air distribution systems. Test method | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of ISO 10294 specifies a test method for the determination of the resistance of a fire damper to heat and the passage of smoke and gases at high temperatures. The general purpose of the test is to evaluate the ability of a damper to prevent fire and smoke spreading from one fire compartment to another through an air distribution system.

NOTE For classification, criteria and field of application of test results, see ISO 10294‑2. For an explanatory document, see ISO 10294‑3.

The test method described in this part of ISO 10294 is applicable to fire dampers. It is not intended to be used for dampers used only in smoke control systems. The method is primarily intended for tests of mechanical devices. Without modification it is not suitable for testing dampers in suspended ceilings.
