In the event of a fire, a smoke control system is used to keep a building's escape routes and access routes free from smoke, assist fire-fighting operations and delay or prevent flashover, thereby reducing the risk that the fire will escalate.[1]
In the United Kingdom, the Smoke Control Association operates as a professional and advisory organisation in this field.[2]
In Australia and New Zealand, joint standard AS/NZS 1668.1:2015 aims to provide:
standardized minimum requirements for mechanical air-handling and mechanical smoke control systems for use by designers, installers, inspectors and regulators of these systems.[4]
Requirements for the maintenance of smoke control systems fall outside this standard.[4]
