Fire Protection Systems and Equipment Information
Smoke Control Systems
Smoke control systems shall be periodically tested as required by NFPA 92. Documented testing shall be comprehensive of all system components and sequencing such as initiating devices, fans, dampers, controls, doors, and windows. Testing shall determine airflow quantities at a minimum across smoke barrier openings, makeup air supplies, and at smoke exhaust equipment. Systems shall be exercised for each sequence with verified outputs for each input and demonstrated on emergency power where provided.
Coordination is needed with fire alarm, HVAC, generator, and doors\damper\opening service personnel to fully demonstrate all integrated components. A system operation and maintenance log shall be maintained with the records of the periodic testing reflecting the performance verification of all system elements.
