Full title and description

STB BS EN 12101-10:2005 — Smoke and heat control systems — Part 10: Power supplies. This European standard specifies requirements and test methods for primary and secondary electrical and pneumatic power-supply equipment intended for use in smoke and heat control systems (SHEVS and pressure differential systems) in buildings, and gives rules for evaluation of conformity and related documentation and marking.

Abstract

EN 12101-10:2005 defines functional, design and testing requirements for mains, battery, charger, generator-set and compressed‑gas (pneumatic) power-supply equipment used to operate smoke-and-heat control components under normal and fire conditions. It covers functional behaviour, fault recognition and signalling, continuity of supply, environmental and mechanical tests, documentation and conformity assessment (including Annex ZA on links to EU regulatory requirements).

Scope

This Part 10 of the EN 12101 series covers the specification and testing of power-supply equipment (electrical and pneumatic) used to drive smoke and heat control systems in buildings. It applies to mains supplies, rechargeable batteries and chargers, generator sets intended for emergency supply, compressed‑gas actuators or bottles, associated monitoring and control interfaces, alarms and the documentation and marking required to demonstrate conformity. The standard is intended to ensure continued operation of SHEV and pressure systems during a fire and to enable consistent assessment of component suitability.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of power-supply equipment for smoke-and-heat control systems.
• Functional requirements for primary and secondary power operation, failure detection, signalling and automatic changeover arrangements.
• Battery selection, charging and monitoring requirements, including endurance and performance under fire/environmental conditions.
• Generator-set requirements (e.g., independence from normal supply, diesel-driven, compliance with ISO 8528 series where applicable).
• Pneumatic supply requirements: dedicated air receivers, capacity and alarms, gas-bottle arrangements and marking.
• Environmental, mechanical and EMC tests (cold, dry heat, damp heat, vibration, impact, corrosion, IP protection, EMC immunity where applicable).
• Documentation, labelling, installation instructions, testing routines and conformity assessment (type testing and factory production control; Annex ZA for links to EU directives).

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of power-supply and actuator equipment, test laboratories, certification bodies, fire and building services engineers, installers and facility managers specifying or verifying components for SHEVS and pressure differential systems. Authorities and specifiers reference this Part 10 when assessing equipment that forms part of smoke control and evacuation systems.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: EN 12101-10:2005 is the European standard that specifies requirements and test methods for power-supply equipment (electrical and pneumatic) used in smoke and heat control systems. It sets functional, environmental and conformity-assessment requirements for such equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers mains supplies, batteries, chargers, generator sets, compressed‑gas supplies or bottles, monitoring and signalling of faults, automatic changeover, environmental and mechanical tests, documentation and marking, and procedures for demonstrating conformity (including relevant annexes linking to EU requirements).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, testing/certification bodies, fire & building services engineers, installers, facility managers and regulatory/specifying authorities involved in design, procurement, testing and approval of smoke-and-heat control systems and their power-supply components.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard edition is EN 12101-10:2005 (published 1 October 2005) and has national adoptions (for example, BS EN 12101-10:2005 published 1 March 2006). A corrigendum/amendment (AC:2007) exists; as of the latest publisher listings the EN/BS national editions remain confirmed/active. Users should check the relevant national standards body for the very latest status or any subsequent revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?
