Why performance in smoke control matters

statistics from the Department for

communities and local Government

reveal that 53% of all fire-related fatalities

are attributed to people being overcome

by smoke or gas, rather than dying from

the fire itself. smoke vents are life-saving

devices that greatly increase occupants’

chances of survival in the event of

fire outbreak.

as well as keeping escape and access

routes smoke-free, sheVs delay or

prevent flashover to slow or stop fire

developing to devastating levels. they

help firefighters tackle blazes more

safely, effectively and quickly, resulting in

reduced structural and material damage

to buildings.

essential certificationAs life-saving devices, any smoke vent

supplied must be built to meet or exceed

the eN12101-2 standard. This involves

passing rigorous testing against strict

criteria for:

• Determinationofaerodynamic

free area

• Reliability

• Openingunderload

• Lowambienttemperature

• Windload

• Heatexposure

All ShevS manufacturers’ products must

pass several tests carried out by a fully

independent test laboratory. Always look

out for the compulsory Ce mark, be sure

to obtain your declaration of performance

from the manufacturer and carefully

examine your products before installation.

All Sertus smoke and access products are

designed and manufactured to ISO 9001,

Ce marked and fully certified, and meet

the requirements of Building regulations

ADB and ADl.

The principle behind smoke and heat

exhaust ventilation systems (ShevS) is

to reduce the potentially fatal build-up

of smoke and heat, leaving an area of

clear air above the floor.

in less than a minute, to clear stairwells, corridors and

factory areas of smoke and heat build-up fast.

They can also provide natural comfort ventilation and

roof access.

All es-vents can be specified with solid insulated covers

or impact-resistant multiwall polycarbonate covers to

em-hatch roof access hatches

Access hatches allow direct, safe and easy access to flat

roofs for maintenance or as part of a fire escape route.

The em-hatch is a modular roof hatch, fully certified to

eN1873, designed for new-build or refurbishments of

residential and commercial schemes.

The em-hatch can be controlled with telescopic gas

or friction struts, electrically, and as part of a smoke

ventilation system. It can be specified with either glass or

polycarbonate glazing to maximise natural light.

em-Vent smoke control panels

The em-vent Smoke Control Panel allows full control

of smoke and heat ventilation when using electrically

operated opening systems. Accessories include a

fireman’s priority switch, manual control point, or smoke

and heat detectors. The control panel is certified to BS

eN12101-10 and designed to BS eN12101-9 (draft).

As well as its smoke-safety attributes, the control panel

is also effective at controlling comfort ventilation using

room thermostats, wind and rain sensors, or comfort and

key switches.

The control panel is equally efficient whether used as

a stand-alone zone system, integrated into a fire-alarm

system or building-management system, or as part of a

network of control panels. When combined with the em-

vent, es-vent, or es-louvre smoke vents, the em-vent

Smoke Control Panel offers the complete solution to

your smoke ventilation needs.
