Technical information for the professionals.
Smoke extraction window in brief
Smoke extraction windows are used to remove smoke and reduce heat from a building in the event of a fire. The primary functions of smoke extraction windows are to facilitate evacuation, prevent smoke from spreading to other areas, and aid firefighting efforts.
The construction and maintenance of smoke extraction systems are governed by laws and regulations, such as the Rescue Act, Land Use and Building Act, Act on Rescue Service Equipment, as well as the Building Product Regulation and the Decree on the Fire Safety of Buildings. In accordance with the EU Construction Products Regulation, smoke ventilation hatches and windows also have their own harmonized product standard EN 12101-2, and all products must bear the CE certificate to demonstrate compliance. Product testing and production quality control are conducted by a notified body.
The following quote from the website of the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency:
The CE certification is mandatory for most building products sold on the European internal market.
Through the CE certfication of construction products, the manufacturer declares the product’s characteristics in a standardized European manner… …The prerequisite for using the CE marking is that a harmonized product standard has been published for the respective product.
Mandatory CE certification
Construction products falling within the scope of harmonized standards must be CE marked in accordance with the EU Construction Products Regulation… …It specifies the characteristics to be determined for products on a product group basis, the requirements for quality control during manufacturing, and the information to be provided in the CE certification.
More information about the required CE marking is available on the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency’s website.
