Ventilation for Buildings - Fire Dampers
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15650 standard is a European standard that addresses the use of fire dampers in maintaining fire compartments in buildings. Fire dampers are components used in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) installations and are designed to prevent the spread of fire through ductwork or ventilation systems.
The standard outlines the specific requirements that fire dampers must meet to effectively fulfill their intended purpose. These requirements may include factors such as the fire resistance performance of the dampers, their ability to withstand high temperatures and pressure differentials, and their durability under various conditions. Compliance with these requirements is crucial to ensure the proper functioning of fire dampers in maintaining fire compartmentation.
Additionally, the standard references specific test methods that are used to evaluate the performance of fire dampers. These test methods are designed to simulate realistic fire conditions and assess various aspects of the damper's performance, such as its response time, leakage rate, and ability to withstand thermal radiation.
