Description
This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the design, construction, installation and commissioning of mechanical smoke control systems in buildings.
Specific methods of smoke control are defined and the appropriate requirements specified for each.
Scope
The design information given in this Standard in respect to hot layer smoke control is based on a single axisymmetric plume, which is confined to on reservoir. Smoke plumes spilling across multiple reservoirs are not considered.
Requirements for the maintenance of smoke control systems are not included.
This Standard applies to Class 2 to Class 9 buildings where smoke control is required.
The Standard doesn't identify those buildings in which smoke control systems or pressurization systems are required.
