Regulation, Approval & Understanding of EN12101-3, ISO 21927-3 and SI 1001-pt7

Common ground between Legislation
• European manufacturers are required to provide certified products to
comply with EN12101-3: Smoke and heat control systems.
Specification for powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators.
• International Manufacturers are required to provide compliant
products to ISO 21927-3: Smoke and heat control systems - Part
3: Specification for powered smoke and heat exhaust
ventilators.
• Israel Manufacturers will be required to provide compliant products to
SI 1001 Part 7: Fire Safety in Buildings: Smoke and control
systems – Powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators.EN12101-3, ISO 21927-3 and SI 1001 Pt7 are essentially based upon similar legislation requirements .
Background to the Legislation
• The Kings Cross fire (1987), and the resulting regulatory changes
within the UK gave the subject of smoke control and emergency
tunnel ventilation visibility, and directly drove industrial fan
manufacturers product development.
• Further disasters in Europe, including but not limited to Mont Blanc
and Tauern, have raised the profile of smoke control and emergency
tunnel ventilation in Europe.
• European Union member states have taken action, Council Directive
89/106/EEC and Harmonised Product Standards are superseding
national regulations relating to emergency smoke ventilation.
• In 1992 the European Single Market was created. The objective
was to remove barriers to trade through the European Economic
Area.
• New Approach Directives are intended to place control on product
design, with the principle objective being to provide a “level playing
field” for product safety requirements across the European
Community.
• The primary function of New Approach Directives is to ensure
that products are sufficiently well designed and built, and that
they are fit for the purpose which they are sold.
The European Single Market & Directives
The same principle applies to the Israel Market – the implementing of
SI 1001 Part 7 will ensure all manufacturers (local or not) will
operate on a level playing field.
• In compliance with EN12101-3 the visible manifestation of
compliance with the construction product directive is the appearance
of the CE logo on the product which contains:
0123
Any Co Limited, P.O. Box21, B-1050 00
0123 - CPD - 001 EN 12101-3 Powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators for use in Construction Works Response delay 30 s at SL 125 Resistance to Fire class F200 Motor rating Class B/Class F
— identification number of the notified body— the name or identifying mark of the producer/supplier, and— the last two digits of the year in which the marking was affixed, and— the appropriate number of the EC-certificate of conformity, and— the number of this standard (EN 12101-3), and— type of product (powered ventilator), and— response delay (s), and— fire resistance class— Motor rating
Identification & Labelling: The CE Mark
It should be noted, although EN12101-3 is the basis for ISO 21927-3
standard (and therefore SI 1001-Pt7), there is no requirement in ISO
or SI for CE Marking or display compliancy labels on products*.
*Although existing Israel marking “Tav Teken” labeling will likely remain, its not required by the standard
• The Construction Product Directive (CPD) is Council Directive
89/106/EEC of 21st December 1988 relating to construction products.
• The directive lays down essential performance criteria under six
general headings, including safety in case of fire.
• Performance requirements apply to the products as a whole, not
simply to each individual components (very important for HT fans)
1.Blades / Impellers
2.Motor
3.Casing
The Construction Products Directive
• Smoke control products are identified as having a critical role to
play in the event of a fire related emergency.
• EN12101-3: Smoke control fans are subject to approval based on
independent assessment of their performance and the on-going
control of their manufacture.
• EN12101-3: Test houses able to perform the independent
assessment are “notified” to the European Commission and all
governments within the EU are bound to accept their test results.
Conformity With the C P D
There is no third party testing requirement in ISO
21927-3 standard (and therefore SI 1001-Pt7).
Non-EU Manufacturers can self certify compliance to
the ISO & SI standards – EU Manufactures must
obtain EN12101-3 to comply.
The Harmonised Standard EN13501-4
• The standard EN 13501-4 ‘Fire classification of construction products
and building elements – Part 4: classification using data from fire
resistance tests on components of smoke control systems” supports
essential requirements of the construction product directive.
• EN 13501-4 supports the construction product directive by defining a
harmonised procedure for the classification for resistance of fire of
construction products.
• It interprets the functional requirements for the different groups of
building products and explains the method for deriving their
classification on the basis of test results for individual products.
The Harmonised Standard EN13501-4
The classifications derived for powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators
within EN 13501-4 are:
• F200 A constant temperature of 200C for 120 minutes.
A constant temperature of 250C for 120 minutes
• F300 A constant temperature of 300C for 60 minutes.
• F400 A constant temperature of 400C for 90 or 120 minutes.
• F600 A constant temperature of 600C for 60 minutes
• F842 A constant temperature of 842C for 30 minutes.
Original Israel requirements of 250C for 2 hours*, although not an
official temperature classification class, would have been
considered as F300 or 300C for 2 hours.*Not operating under temperature rated airflow conditions.

Testing, Approving & Certifying a Range
• The standard provides a procedure for approving a range of fans.
• Rules allow the approved range to include scaled diameters from
0.63 to 1.26 of those tested.

EN 12101-3, ISO 29127-3 & SI 1001-Part 7 Product Approval
EN 12101-3, ISO 29127-3 & SI 1001-Part 7 - Annex A States:
• At least two fans must be tested at their highest rotational speed.
• The fan with the most highly stressed impeller must be tested.
• Fans powered by motors with the smallest and largest frame sizes at
their highest output must be tested.
• The fan must be set up for test in a way that represents the
conditions to which it is exposed in service. (Horizontal, Vertical,
F200, F300, F400, insulated, non-insulated etc.)

EN 12101-3, ISO 29127-3 & SI 1001-Part 7 Product Approval
• Range certification may be obtained by defining a product range, and
then conducting a series of type-tests that comply with the
requirements for range certification.
• A draw back of range certification is the difficulty associated with
modification of the design to accommodate a client request, or
improve the product. As such range certification might be a block to
product development.
• Single product certification may only be obtained, by manufacturing
and testing an additional fan to that being sold.
EN 12101-3, ISO 29127-3 & SI 1001-Part 7 Product Approval
• Testing large tunnel fans requires a notified test house that can carry
out the test.
• At the time of writing, only a minority of test house are able to test
fans over 1.6 meters in diameter
• At the time of writing we believe that no notified test house is able to
test the largest 4.0 meter diameter non-series produced central
tunnel fans.

EN 12101-3 Compliance (and subsequent ISO 21927-3 and SI 1001-Part 7 Compliance)
Six different and independent factors that must be adequately taken
into account during a high temperature test are identified:
• Horizontally mounted vs. vertically mounted.
• Internal hot gas only vs. surrounded by hot gas.
• Insulated vs. non-insulated.
• Uni-directional vs. reversible.
• Auxiliary systems, direct on-line or inverter driven during fire.
• Form A vs. form B running.
EN, ISO & SI Compliance Testing
EN, ISO & SI Compliance Testing
• Only notified bodies can perform EN12101-3 testing in order to certify fan
manufacturers high temperature fans. Currently any fan manufacture can
state compliance to ISO 21927-3 if they can test the product.
• It is possible, (although expensive) to certify large fans and or custom
designed fans. e.g. Fläkt Woods has successfully EN12101-3 certified a
2.65 meter diameter fan with a 900kw motor.
• Fan manufacturers outside the EU who are required to comply with ISO
29127-3 and SI 1001-Part 7 will be able to self certify their product.
Manufacturers inside the EU will be required to obtain 3rd party
independent certification.

EN, ISO & SI Compliance Testing
ISO 21927-3
• The standard ISO 21927-3 does not contain the requirement for CE marking in accordance with the Construction Products Directive.
• The requirements of ISO 21927-3 are presented in:
Sheard, A.G. & Jones, N.M. (2008), ‘Approval of High-Temperature Emergency Tunnel-Ventilation Fans: The Impact of ISO 21927-3’. Proceedings of the ITA–AITES World Tunnel Congress and 34th General Assembly. Agra, India, 19–25 September, pp 1817–26.
• In practice ISO 21927-3 is the international version of EN 12101-3 for application outside EU member states.
• The standard SI 1001 Part 7 is ISO 21927-3, with the introduction and some key elements translated into Hebrew.
• The majority of SI 1001 Part 7 is the text from ISO 21927-3, to the extent that the ISO 21927-3 reference remains at the top of each page.
• Any product that compiles with the requirements of ISO 21927-3 also complies with the requirements of SI 1001 Part 7.
SI 1001 Part 7
• Currently there are no standards to certify HT Products for the Israel market. The existing requirement for 250/2 does not account for the fan running under load test.
• All European manufacturers who are EN12101-3 certified will qualify for compliance to SI 1001 Part 7 as a matter of course.
• All manufacturers who do not have existing EN or ISO compliance will need to either invest in their own temperature test rig or pay an existing test house to carry out the test.
• A reasonable timescale should be considered to allow the transition into a working standard.
SI 1001 Part 7 – Implementing the Standard
Fläkt Woods
• Fläkt Woods policy is to supply fans for emergency application that comply with the requirements of EN 12101-3.
• Fläkt Woods have EN 12101-3 certified products certified at 200C for 2 hours, 300C for 2 hours and 400C for 2 hours.
• Fläkt Woods have tested the highest power fan in accordance with the requirement of EN 12101-3 – a 1000 kW fan (at 400C for 2 hours), and the largest diameter fan – a 2.8 meter fan (at 300C for 2 hours).
• Fläkt Woods has spent ten years and in excess of £1,000,000 undertaking certification in accordance with the requirements of EN 12101-3.
• All Fläkt Woods products certified in accordance with the requirements of EN 12101-3 are also compliant with the requirements of ISO 21927-3 and SI 1001 Part 7.
Thank you.
