Passive Fire Protection

Approved Smoke and Ventilation Systems - FUTURE

Smoke control systems are fundamental to keeping escape and access routes free from smoke and essential for a safe evacuation process. Most European Union countries have rigid requirements for the key elements of smoke and ventilation systems that you specify, buy, install or use to ensure they are reliable, truly fit for purpose and compliant with the applicable standards and relevant EU Directives and Regulations.

Systems that carry the CERTALARM Quality Mark assure that. 
 

CertAlarm

CERTALARM works through independent, fully accredited, test laboratories and certification bodies to ensure that: 

  • Certified products and systems truly meet the exact requirements that are contained in the relevant standards;
  • Manufacturers' production control and quality management systems ensure consistent production standards.

Additionally, periodic surveillance ensures that both products and manufacturers continue to meet these requirements for the quality of the product. Through its members, CERTALARM is able to work with all sections of the industry, users, response authorities and standardisation bodies. CERTALARM develops and improves product standards and methods of assessment to ensure that certified products meet the needs of specifiers and users - consistently and reliably.

The testing and certification is based on European Standards. If no EN's are available, an agreed technical specification or a National standard can be used. As the Certalarm certification body is also a notified body for CPD, CE mark certification for the EU Construction Products Directive (CPD) may be processed alongside Certalarm certification.

Certification will be available for: 

  • Fire Dampers
  • Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation fans
  • Smoke curtains and smoke shutters
  • Self contained smoke control units
