Smoke Ventilation

In fire situations, most deaths and injuries are caused by fumes and smoke, not flames. Having an efficient and effective means of ventilating smoke and noxious fumes saves lives and can assist the emergency services greatly in facilitating fire fighting and evacuation.

Bilco smoke vents are designed to satisfy Building Regulations and meet Approved Document B, BS 9999 (which supercedes BS5588) and European Standards enshrined in EN 12101. As of 1st July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation came into force which requires smoke vents to be CE marked and to be supplied with a Declaration of Conformity. Bilco smoke vents have been fully tested and carry the CE mark as required by the new legislation.

For the EN 12101 key areas of the regulations are that the covers must reach the fire open position within 60 seconds and that single covers open to 140° to ensure there are no negative wind coefficients ie wind blowing smoke back into the building.

Bilco smoke vents are also compatible with other guidance and codes of practices, for example those issued by the British Research Establishment such as BRE 79204.
