Giving you peace of mind that all your requirements have been captured under one roof. In addition, our Delivery Solution Providers can assist with compliance with your legal obligations:-
When vents are required for smoke ventilation they must be compliant to EN12101-2 as mandatory by CPR 2013 in UK law. This involves the vent and actuator being tested together at an independent accredited test facility with the installation detail then replicated on site. In addition, as the AOV’s are a ‘life safety product’ they fall under a System 1 categorisation and must be manufactured by a fabricator who has been audited by a notified body to a System 1 Factory Production Control process. The actuators must also be installed under this same process.
At the end of the process SE Controls will issue a Declaration of Performance (DoP) under EN12101-2 and can UKCA mark the vents to the standard. The DoP is the only proof of compliance to the standard and will likely be requested by Building Control at project completion.
Giving you peace of mind that all your requirements have been captured under one roof. In addition, our Delivery Solution Providers can assist with compliance with your legal obligations:-
British Standard BS 7346:8-1990, BS9999- 2017 BS 5588:12-2004 and the building regulation approved Document B, states that regular AOV maintenance is necessary. Following the recent Fire Reform Act, it is now your responsibility to make sure it happens.
In addition to the above, the provision of regular inspections alongside a scheduled testing regime can also be provided which can be encapsulated with a Service Contract Agreement.
Regular maintenance and testing should include weekly visual checks of smoke vents for faults, misuse, or vandalism alongside monthly testing by a responsible person. Manual controls faults or damage recorded through testing, should be reported to the building occupants and repairs carried out quickly.
