Introduction

Smoke and heat ventilation systems (SHEVs) are very important elements of structural
Smoke and heat ventilation systems are preventive fire protection appliances. They fulfill
important functions in case of fire: safeguarding human life by providing a smoke-free layer which
keeps evacuation routes free for the fire brigade. Consequential damages caused by fire gases
are reduced, and therefore, significant material assets are often protected against destruction.
Precondition for this is that the systems will function absolutely reliably in the case of fire. Only
electrical specialist companies are authorised to install these systems. They have electrical
specialist staff with relevant experiences in installing hazard detection systems or smoke and
heat ventilation systems. Only these can take on the responsibility that the system will function
and can ensure product liability for the whole system (see Product Liability Law BGBL.I S.2198
and BGB (Bodily injury, compensation for damage)).
Therefore, regular maintenance and checking of functional readiness is imperative and must be
ensured. These standard requirements are demanded in accordance with regulations of the DIN,
of the Association of German Insurer against damage of property (VdS) and the respective local
authorities. It is recommended that maintenance work should be carried out by authorised
specialist companies only.
Only regular and professional maintenance guarantees the necessary and permanent
