2. TECHNICAL CLASSIFICATION OF FIRE 2.1. 2.1.1.

General regulations

Houses, parts and components of houses, rooms, construction materials, construction structures are classified in terms of fire based on following natures:

��

��

-

Fire

hazard:

nature

arising

and

developing

elements

of

fire

hazard;

-

Fire resistance: nature against effects of the fire and prevention of spread of

dangerous elements of the fire. 2.1.2. Classification of fire is sued for establishment of necessary requirements of fire

protection of structures, rooms, houses, parts and components of houses depending on their fire resistance and / or their fire hazard. 2.2.

Construction materials

2.2.1. In terms of fire safety, construction materials is characterized by fire hazard.

Fire hazard of construction materials is determined by technical characteristics of fire as follows: Flammability, ignition, spread of fire on surface, ability of arising smoke and toxic.

2.2.2.

According to combustibility, construction materials are classified into non-flammable materials and flammable materials. Flammable materials are classified in 4 groups:

− Ch1 (slight combustion); − Ch2 (moderate combustion); − Ch3 (strong and moderate combustion); − Ch4 (deflagration). Combustibility and groups of construction materials are determined in Annex B, Item B.2. For non-flammable materials, it is not specified on fire hazard and other criteria. 2.2.3. According to combustibility, flammable materials are classified in 3 groups:

− BC1 (difficult to burn); − BC2 (medium flammable); − BC3 (strong flammable). Materials with combustibility are determined in Annex B, Item B.3. 2.2.4. According to spread of fire on surface, flammable materials are classified in 4 groups:

− LT1 (non - spreading); − LT2 (weak spreading); − LT3 (moderate spreading); − LT4 (strong spreading). ��

��

Construction materials with spread of fire on surface are specified for surface materials of roof and floor, including carpet in Annex B, item B.4. For other construction materials, it is not determined and specified classification of spread of fire on surface. 2.2.5. According to ability of arising smoke, flammable construction materials are classified in 3 groups:

− SK1 (low smoking ability); − SK2 (moderate smoking ability); − SK3 (high smoking ability). Construction materials classified as smoking ability are determined in Annex B, item B.5. 2.2.6. According to toxicity of flammable products, flammable materials are classified in 4 groups:

− ĐT1 (low toxicity); − ĐT2 (moderate toxicity); − ĐT3 (high toxicity); − ĐT4 (extremely high toxicity). Construction materials classified as toxicity of flammable products are determined in Annex B, item B.6. 2.3.

Construction structures

2.3.1. Construction structures are characterized by fire resistance and fire hazard.

Fire resistance of a structure is represented by its limit of fire resistance. Fire hazard of a structure is represented by its level of fire danger.

2.3.2. Limit of fire resistance of structure is determined by a period of time (in minute) since

starting of fire test under standard temperature until an appearance of one or some continuous signs of limit state specified for structure as follows: − Loss of load capacity (load capacity is symbolic by letter R); − Loss of integrity (integrity is symbolic by letter E); − Loss of heat insulation capacity (heat insulation capacity is symbolic by letter I) NOTE: 1) Fire resistance limit of construction structure is determined by fire test according to standards TCXDVN 342: 2005 to TCXDVN 348: 2005(1) or equivalent standards. Fire resistance limit of construction

��

��

structure can be determined by calculation following applied designed fire resistance standard. 2) Required fire resistance limit of structure is specifically prescribed in this Regulation and in technical standards for each type of project. Required fire resistance limit of structure is symbolic by REI, EI, RE or R together with corresponding time index affected by fire in minute. For example: structure with fire resistance limit REI 120 means that structure must retain 3 capacities: load, integrity, heat insulation during period of fire of 120 minutes; structure with fire resistance R60 means that structure must maintain load capacity during 60 minutes, heat insulation capacity and integrity are not required. 3) Construction structure is considered as meeting requirements of fire resistance if it is satisfied one of two following conditions: a) Composition of structure with specification similar to test of fire resistance; and this test shows fire resistance limit not less than required fire resistance of this structure. b) Composition of structure with specification suitable to structure mentioned in Annex F; and corresponding nominal fire limit in this Annex is not less than required fire limit of this structure.

2.3.3. According to fire hazard, construction structures are classified in 4 grades:

− K0 (non risk of fire); − K1 (low risk of fire); − K2 (moderate risk of fire); − K3 (fire danger). NOTE: 1) Level of fire hazard of construction structure is determined by testing according to Vietnam's current standards or equivalent. 2) It is allowed to determine level of fire hazard of structure without testing as follows: + Level K0: if structure is composed of non-flammable material; + Level K1: if outer surface of structure is composed of material with specifications of fire less dangerous than Ch1, BC1, SK1; + Level K2: if outer surface of structure is composed of material with specifications of fire less dangerous than Ch2, BC2, SK2; + Level K3: if outer surface of structure is composed of material with only one of these specifications of fire less dangerous than Ch3, BC3, SK3;

2.4 2.4.1

2.4.2

Fire prevention The fire prevention is used in order to stop fire and combustion products spread out from combustion chamber or a fire compartment to other ones. The fire prevention is included fire prevention wall, fire partition, fire slab. The fire prevention is specified by fire resistant of its parts, including: - Separation (partition, wall, slab …); - Fixings of separation (frame, bracing …); - Supports of separation (supported beam, frame, supporting wall…); - Connecting details; Fire resistance limit in status of none bearing capacity (R) of the Fixings of separation, of Supports of separation and connecting details of them must not be lower than the required fire resistance limit of separation. Fire hazard of fire prevention part is defined by the fire hazard of separation as well as the connection details and fixings of separation.

- P2 – Step staircase with the inclination is not over 6:1 (not over 80 ) 2.6 2.6.1

Building, fire chamber, compartment Building or parts of building that is separated by fire walls – class 1 (called fire chamber) is classified by fire-resistance grade, structural fire hazard grade and usage fire hazard group. - Fire-resistance grade of building and fire chamber are defined by fire-resistance limit of their construction elements; - Structural fire hazard grade of building and fire chamber are defined by participation degree of construction elements into the fire development and formation of hazard factors of flame. - Usage fire hazard group of building and parts of building are defined by the purpose of use and feature of technological procedures that arranged inside them;

2.6.2

Building and fire chambers are classified by fire-resistance grade as Table 4. Load-bearing parts of building include load-bearing columns and walls, struts, solid partitions; slab parts (beam, bar, plate) participated in the guarantee of general stability and shape non-variation of building in case of combustion. Load-bearing elements that are not participated in the guarantee of general stability of building must be instructed in specification of building by the designer. There is no regulation of fire resistance limit for sealed parts of clearance hole (doors, gates, windows, manholes, skylight), except doors, fire valve inside fire prevention parts and in particular cases. In case of minimum fire resistance limit of required element is R 15 (RE 15, REI 15), it is allowed to use uncoated protection steel structure without depending on its actual fire resistance limit, except the cases when fire resistance limit of load-bearing parts of building according to test result is less than R 8. In staircase boxes that are not affected by smoke – N1 type, staircase plates and landings are allowed to use with fire resistance R 15 and belongs to the fire hazard grade K0.

3. ENSURING THE SAFETY FOR PEOPLE 3.1.

General regulation

3.1.1. -

The requirements of this section in order to ensure: Timely and unobstructed escape for people. Rescuing the people to be effected by the hazardous factors of fire. Protecting people on the way to escape, avoiding the people to be effected by the hazardous factors of flame.

3.1.2. Escape is the organized self-moved process of people to go out from the rooms, where the hazardous factors of flame may impact on them. Escape is also the lost self-control movement of group who is less likely to mobilize and carried out by the service staffs. Escape is executed on the exit routes through by the escape exits. 3.1.3. Rescue is the compelled movement of people to go out when they are affected by the hazardous factors or when appearing the direct hazard of these effects. Rescue is executed self-control with the supporting of the fire fighting forces or the staffs are trained professionally, including the use of the rescue means, escape through by the exits and the emergency exits. 3.1.4. The people protection on the escape routes must be ensured by a combination of the space planning solutions, facilities, structures, engineering technique and organization.

Escape routes within the room must ensure the safe escape through the escape exit from that room without allowing for the smoke protection and fire-fighting means in this room. Outside the room, we must allow for the protection of the escape routes from the safe escape conditions for people that is mentioned to the usage fire hazard of the rooms on the way out to escape, number of people escape, fire resistance grade and structural fire hazard grade of the building, number of exits from a floor and escape from the entire house. Inside the room and on the escape route outside the room, it must limit the fire hazard of construction materials of the structure surface layers (finishing layer and facing) depending on the usage re hazard of the room and house, allow for the other solutions for the protection of the escape routes. 3.1.5. When arranging the escape routes from the room and the house, it is not allowed for the methods and means to rescue, as well as the exits do not meet the requirement of the escape exit as specified in Section 3.2.1.

��

��

3.1.6. Do not allow to arrange the rooms belong to class A or class B of group F 5 below the rooms which have presence of more than 50 people at the same time, as well as in the basement or half-basement.

Do not allow to arrange the room belong to group F 1.1, F 1.2 and F 1.3 in the basement or half-basement. NOTE: 1) Basement is the floor which over the half of its height is under the ground level of the construction according to the approved Urbanism planning. 2) Half-basement is the floor which the half of its height is upper or horizontal the ground level of the construction according to the approved Urbanism planning.

3.1.7. To ensure the safe escape, it must discover the fire and fire alarm in time. Building and parts of building must be equipped with the fire alarm systems according to the current regulations. NOTE: The basis requirements about the fire alarm system arrangement are stipulated in TCVN 3890: 2009.

3.1.8. To protect the escape for people, the escape routes of the house or the part of the house must be protected against the penetration of smoke. NOTE: The basis requirements about the smoke protection of the house are stipulated in Annex D.

3.1.9. The effect of measures to ensure the safety for people while fire can be assessed by calculation. 3.2.

The escape exit and emergency exit

3.2.1. The exits are considered the escape exits (also called the escape routes) if: st

a) To be connected from the rooms of 1 floor to go out according to one of following methods: - To go out directly; - To corridor; - To entrance (or waiting room); - To staircase; - To corridor and entrance (or waiting room); - To corridor and staircase; b) Starting from rooms of any levels, except level 1, into one of the following places: - Directly to the walking staircase or the walking staircase class 3; - Into corridor or directly to the walking staircase cage or walking staircase class 3; - Into the common room (Or waiting room) having exit directly to the walking staircase cage or walking staircase class 3; ��

��

c) Leading to the adjacent room (Except room of group F5 class A or B) on the same level from which there are exits as shown at a) and b). Exits into room class A or B are considered to be emergency exits if they start from technical local without place for frequently working people but which is only used to serve rooms of class A or B as said above. 3.2.2. Exits from the basement and half-basement are emergency exits when they lead directly

outside and are separate from the common walking staircase of the building. It is allowable to arrange: − The emergency exits from the basement through common walking staircase cages which have private walk way to outside separated from the remainder of the walking staircase by using fire-rated solid partition class 1; − The emergency exits from the basement and half-basement which have rooms of class C, D, E, going into rooms of class C4, D and E and going into the hall on level 1 of the group F5 when satisfying the requests of 4.24; − Emergency exits from the waiting room, locker-room, smoking room and sanitary rooms on the basement or half-basement of building group F2, F3, and F4 going into the hall of level 1 through private walking staircase class 2; − Intermediate space, including double intermediate space on the direct exit way from the house, from the basement and half-basement. 3.2.3.

Exits are not considered as emergency exits if at these exits entrance doors or gates having sliding or folded up wings, rolling shutter, rotating shutter are installed. Doors having outside opening wings (Hinged doors) as listed above are considered as emergency exits.

3.2.4. The quantity and width of emergency exits from rooms, levels and houses are calculated

accordingly to the max number of exit people which could get through of them and the permitted limit distance from the farthest point which may have people (Activities, working place) to the nearest emergency exit. NOTE: 1) The max number of exit people from various spaces of the building or building part is calculated accordingly to the appendix G, article G.3; 2) Apart from common requests as shown in this Code, the quantity and emergency exit width are shown in the Technical Code applied for each class of construction. Appendix G shows some regulations for some popular groups of houses.

Parts of houses which are in risk of fire according to various functions and separated by firestopping components have to have private emergency exits. 3.2.5. The following rooms have to have not fewer than 2 emergency exits:

− Rooms of group F 1.1 having at the same time over 10 people; ��

��

− Rooms in the basement and half basement having at the same time over 15 people; except rooms in the basement and half basement having from 6 to 15 people at the same time, then one of two exits has to respect requests shown in 3.2.13d; − Rooms having at the same time over 50 people; − Rooms of group F5 class A or B having people working in the most crowded shift over 5 people, class C – over 25 people or having a surface over 1.000 m2; − Open working platform or platforms used for maintenance staffs in rooms belonging to class F5 having a surface over 100 m2 – To rooms belonging to class A and B or having a surface over 400 m2 – To rooms belonging to other classes. Rooms of group F1.3 (Apartment) arranged on both floors (2 levels – which are usually called 2-storey apartment), when the higher storey height is over 18m then it is asked to have emergency exits for each storey. 3.2.6. Storeys belonging to following groups have to have not fewer than 2 emergency exits:

− F 1.1; F 1.2; F 2.1; F 2.2; F 3; F 4; − F 1.3 when the total surface of apartments on one storey is over 500 m2 (To single house this surface is that of one storey of the single house). In case the total surface is less than 500 m2 and when there is only 1 emergency exit from each level, then with each apartment at the height of over 15m, apart from the emergency exit it is asked to have an urgent exit following 3.2.13; − F 5, class A or B when the number of people working in the most crowded shift is over 5 people, class C when the number of people working in the most crowded shift is over 25 people. Basement and half basement have to have nor fewer than 2 emergency exits when the surface is over 300 m2 or when there are 25 people present at the same time. In houses having height not higher than 15m, it is allowable to have one emergency exit from each floor (Or from one part of the floor separated from other parts of the floor by fire-stopping components) which has fire risk according to function F 1.2, F 3, F 4.3 having surface over 300 m2, with the number of people not over 20 people and when the emergency exit entering into the walking staircase which has fire-rated door of class 2 (Table 2). 3.2.7.

rooms whose request on the number of emergency exits is not fewer than 2. The number of emergency exits of a house is not fewer than the number of emergency exits from any levels of that house. 3.2.8

When there are 2 emergency exits or over, they have to be distributed (Except exit way from corridors into smoke uncontaminated walking staircase). Min distance L(m)

��

��

between farthest emergency exits (This one to another) is calculated accordingly to the formula: - For exit way from rooms:

L ≥1,50

- For exit way from corridors: L ≥0,33 In which: P – Room perimeter, m; n – Number of emergency exit; D – Corridor length, m. If in the room, on the level or in the house which has 2 emergency exits or over, then in calculation regarding to exit capacity of exit ways it is need to assume that the fire stops people using those exit ways.

Doors of emergency exits from rooms or corridors have to be anti- enforced smoke, they have to be solid doors and equipped with door closers and doors gaps have to be well sealed. These doors which may be open for service, then they have to be equipped with door closers in prevention of fire. 3.2.12 Exits which do not satisfy requests applied for emergency exits could be considered as urgent exits in order to increase safety level for people in case of fire. Urgent exits are not taken into account of emergency exit in case of fire. 3.2.13 Apart from cases as shown in 3.2.12, urgent exits also includes: a) Exits to balcony or loggia, where there is solid wall whose width is not smaller 1.2m from the balcony edge ( Loggia) to window ( Or glazing door) or not smaller than 1.6m between glazing panels opening to balcony (( Loggia); b) Exits leading to an intermediate open walk way( Crossing Bridge ) and then to an adjacent single house belonging to group F1.3 or to an adjacent fire compartment .This intermediate walk way has to be not smaller 0.6 m in width; c) Exits to balcony or loggia, where there is an outside staircase connecting balconies or Loggias of each level; d) Exits to outside directly from rooms which have finish floor level not smaller than 4.5m and not bigger than 5.0m through windows or doors having size not smaller than 0.75m x 1.5m, also through trap doors having size not smaller than 0.6m x 0.8m; In that case at these exits there have to be ladders, slope of these ladders are not specified; e) Exits outside house roof which have fire rate of I, II and III belonging to SO and SI through windows, doors or trap doors with dimension and ladders specified in article d). 3.2.14 In technical levels it is allowable to arrange emergency exits with their heights not smaller than 1.8m;

From technical levels in which they are only used for construction technical networks (Piping, wirings,..) it is allowable to arrange urgent exits through doors with dimension not smaller than 0.75m x 1.5m or through trap doors with dimension not smaller than 0.6m x 0.8m but no need to arrange emergency exits. When the technical levels have their surface up to 300m2 it is allowable to arrange one exit, and with each next surface which is smaller than 2.000m2 then it is asked to arrange not fewer than one exit. In underground technical levels these exits have to be separated from other exits of the building and directly led to the outside.

4. STOPPING THE SPREADING FIRE 4.1.

Stopping the spreading out of the fire is done by using measures which could limit the surface on fire, fire intensity and fire duration. That means: -

Using structure solution and space urbanism, in order to stop the spreading out of dangerous factors of the fire in room space, and among rooms, among groups of rooms which have fire danger according to various functions, among levels and singles, among fire compartments, as well as among buildings;

-

Limiting the fire danger of construction materials used in building surface, including: Roof covering, finishing coverings of external walls, rooms and

��

��

emergency exits; -

Limiting the fire danger and industrial explosion danger in rooms and buildings;

-

Having initial fire stopping equipments, including automatic and manual ones;

-

Having fire detection and fire alarm equipments.

NOTE : 1) Regulation on the fire protection distance between houses, public constructions and manufacture factory is shown in appendix E. Distance between combustible liquid storage, open storages on earth which have combustible stuffs, containing tower LPG( 1), flammable gas to other constructions has to respect specialized Codes. 2) The term “Fire intensity” is shown in appendix A.

4.2.

Housing, public constructions, manufacture factory and storage have to satisfy requests on fire protection of this Code and regulations in the Design Standards applied for those constructions. Particularly, the number of levels (permit height of the building), fire compartment surface and limit level for amphitheatre arrangement of some constructions has to follow regulations shown in appendix H.

4.3.

Housing parts (Rooms, technical floor, basement, half basement and other parts of the house) in which the fire extinguishment is difficult are asked to be equipped with complementary devices in order to limit surface, intensity and duration of fire.

4.4.

The effect of solutions in order to stop the spreading out of the fire may be evaluated by using economic – Technical calculations based on request shown in 1.4.1 regarding to Limitation of damages caused by direct and indirect fire. 1

4.5.

LPG is the abbreviation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas

House parts and rooms belonging to fire risk groups according to various functions have to be separated among them by using separation structure with fire limit and structure fire risk grade as per specifications or the separation could be done by using fire stopping components. In this case, the request on this separation structure and fire stopping components has to take into account of the fire risk according to function of rooms, value of loads on fire, fire rate and structure fire risk grade of the house.

4.6.

In a building when sections which have fire risk according to various functions are separated by fire stopping components then each of those components has to satisfy requests on fire stopping the same as those applied for buildings having fire risk according to corresponding functions. Selection of the fire protection system of the building has to base on following things : When all parts of the building which have fire risk according to various functions, then the fire danger according to function of the whole building may be higher than the fire danger according to function of any part of that building.

4.13.

Covering and soaking applied for special fire protection, used on open surfaces of elements, have to satisfy requests specified in finishing work of those elements. In technical documents applied for these covering or soaking it is asked to indicate clearly the replacement period or recovery of theirs and depending on the exploitation and using conditions. In order to increase the fire limit or decrease the fire danger of the elements, it is not allowable to use covering or soaking for special fire protection at positions at which replacement or recovery of these materials could not be done.

4.14.

Effect of fire protection, used to decrease the fire danger of materials, has to be evaluated by testing on the fire danger of construction materials as shown in part 2 (Technical classification on fire). Effect of fire protection, used to increase the fire rate of elements, has to be evaluated by testing on the fire limit of construction materials as shown in part 2 (Technical classification on fire). Effect of fire protection, is not accounted when calculating the bearing capacity of metal elements (Column or beam), it is allowable to evaluate by comparison testings of dimension reduced scale mock-up of column with height not smaller than 1,7m or beam mock-up with span not smaller than 2,8m without static load.

��

In the space above the suspending ceiling it is not allowable to arrange channels and piping which carry combustible matters in form of air, dust – air combination, liquid and combustible stuffs. Suspending ceilings are not arranged in rooms of class A or B.

4.16.

At the intersection of fire stopping components and covering structure of the building, and even at positions where the building is changed in form and shape, it is asked to have a solution in order not to let fire spread out to these fire stopping components.

4.17.

To fire stopping walls, which are used to separate the house into fire compartment, they have to be arranged on the whole height of the house and make sure that fire could not spread out from fire resource to adjacent fire compartment when the building structure at the section on fire collapses.

4.18.

Openings in fire stopping components have to be well closed in case of fire/ Windows in fire stopping components have to be un-openable windows, and doors, gates and traps and valves have to be automatically closed and all door gaps have to be well sealed. When doors, gates and traps and valves are in need of opening for service then they have to be equipped with automatically closed device in case of fire.

4.19.

The whole surface of openings in fire stopping components, except covering structure of lift cabinet, will not exceed 25% of the surface of that fire stopping component. Fire door and valve in fire stopping components have to satisfy requests shown in 2.4.3 and requests of this section. At doors of fire stopping components used to separate rooms of class A or B from other spaces such as : Rooms whose class is different from A or B, corridors, walking staircase and lift lobby, it is asked to arrange intermediate space whose pressure is always positive (+) as per request shown in Appendix D. It is not allowable to arrange common intermediate spaces for both or over 2 rooms which have their same class of A or B.

4.20.

When it is impossible to arrange intermediate fire stopping compartments in fire stopping components used to separate rooms of class A or B from other rooms or when it is impossible to arrange doors, gates, traps and valves in fire stopping components to separate rooms of class C from other rooms, it is asked to establish a combination of solutions in order to prevent the spreading out of fire and penetration into rooms and

Appendix D Protection regulations of anti-smoke for building and construction work D.1.

Anti-smoke protection for building and construction work for the safety of people that existing out of the building in case of fire. The anti-smoke system has to be independent for each fire compartment. Anti-smoke protection for building and construction work includes fume sucking and exhausting (including combustible stuffs) and air supply.

D.2.

Fume sucking has to be done from following zones: a) From corridors and halls of residential houses, public works, admin-activities buildings, multi-function buildings having height over 28m. The building height is specified following 1.1.6. b) From corridors of basement, half-basement having no natural lighting of residential buildings, public works, admin-activities buildings, manufacture factory and multifunction buildings when people are frequently present in these corridors. c) From corridors having length over 15m and without natural lighting of manufacture factory, storage of Class A, B and C having from 2 levels and over, as well as of public works and multi-function buildings from 6 levels and over; d) From corridors and common halls using staircases which are smoke uncontaminated of various functions buildings; e) From corridors having no natural lighting of residential buildings which have a distance from the farthest housing entrance door to the staircase entrance door or the buffer chamber leading to the outside air of the staircase type N1 over 12m; f) From the clear storey halls of houses having height over 28m, as well as from clear storey halls having height over 15m and from corridors having entrance door or open balcony which through the space of the above clear storey hall; g) From the staircase type L2 having open automatic skylight in case of fire at intern disease treatment establishments; h) From all manufacture compartments or storage of Class A, B or C, D or E in buildings having fire resistant grade of IV, having stable working space without natural lighting or having natural lighting through windows and skylight, but without mechanical operation to open ventilation openings of windows (At level equal to or over 2.2m from the floor level to the lower level of window) and open all ventilation openings at the roof entrance (In both cases, the area of openings shall be big enough to exhaust smoke in case of fire); i) From all compartments having no natural lighting as follow: - Public or admin-activities compartments, well crowded;

��

2

- Compartments with area equal to or over 50m , with working people, and used for storage or using combustible stuffs and materials; - Sale stalls; 2

- Locker-rooms having area equal to or over 200m . It is allowed to blow smoke from manufacture rooms of Class having area smaller than or 2 equal to 200m through adjacent corridors. D.3.

Smoke sucking does not need to apply for: 2

a) Compartments having area up to 200m , equipped with automatic fire fighting equipments using water or foam (Except compartments of Class A and B); b) Compartments equipped with automatic fire fighting equipments using air or powder; c) Corridors or halls, when compartments having door entering these corridors or halls are directly smoke exhausted. NOTE: It is no need to separate smoke exhaust for other compartments having area equal to or 2 smaller than 50m , when they are situated in main room in which a smoke exhaust system has been already installed. D.4.

Smoke sucking floe has to be determined by calculation in the following cases: a) From corridors shown in D.2 a), b), c), d), e) – for each length section not bigger than 45m; b) From compartments shown in D.2 f), g), h), i) – for each smoke section having are not 2 bigger than 3.000 m .

NOTE: Calculation method of smoke sucking flow must be in accordance with the current technical standards, taking into account of fire load, temperature, combustible products created, the outside air parameters, geometry properties and openings locations. D.5.

The design of smoke sucking system for the protection of corridors must be separate from the smoke sucking system for the protection of rooms.

D.6.

Smoke inlet of smoke sucking piping to take some from corridors must be installed under the corridors ceilings and lower than door. It is allowed to install smoke inlet on branch piping leading to smoke sucking piping. Length of the corridors needs to be installed a smoke inlet which is not greater than 45m.

D.7.

When sucking smoke directly from compartments having area over 3.000 m then it is needed to divide the zone into many smoke sections having area not greater than 3.000 2 m and must consider to a fire which may happen in one of those sections. Each smoke 2 inlet is only calculated to serve for one area that do not exceed 1.000 m .

��

2

��

D.8.

Direct smoke outlet for rooms of one-level building must include natural smoke exhaust through piping having valves, cover or non-closed lighting openings. From zones near windows, with a width up to 15m, it is allowed to exhaust smoke through small gaps of windows (Louvers) whose the bottom edge of door gap is not smaller than 2.2m from the ground level. In multi-level building, it is needed to have a mechanical smoke exhaust system.

D.9.

Piping and equipments of the smoke sucking system must be fabricated from nonflammable materials, having fire-resistant limit in conformity with current relevant standards. When smoke piping is through fire isolated components of combustible compartments, it has to be equipped with fir isolated valves. Smoke and combustible products must be rejected outside the building and works, the smoke exhaust point has to be at least 5m from air supply inlet of the air supply system. Smoke exhaust into the air has to respect the distance to the surfaces made by combustible materials and other openings following specifications of specific Design Standard. It is allowed to exhaust fume from exhaust piping from the basement and half-basement through ventilation openings. In this case, the fume exhaust outlet must be installed at a min distance of 6m from floor level of the ventilation opening (from the building structure of a min distance of 3m vertically and 1m horizontally) or to exhaust equipment of wet type, this distance then has to be min 3m from the floor level. It is not allowed to install smoke valve on these piping.

D.10. Anti-smoke protection has to supply air from outside into the following zones:

a) In lift well (when it is not possible to supply air for buffer chambers in case of fire) of buildings which have smoke-uncontaminated lift cabinet; b) In lift well working as “reserved for carrying fire fighting force” c) In smoke-uncontaminated stairs type N2; d) In buffer chambers of smoke-uncontaminated stairs type N3; e) In buffer chambers in front of lift (including lift) in basements and half-basement; f) Buffer chambers at stairs type 2, leading to compartments of level 1 of the basement or half-basement, in rooms using or storing combustible stuffs and materials. It is allowed to supply air from the ventilation compartments of the building in buffer chambers of metallurgy, molding workshops and other thermal treatment compartments; g) In buffer chambers at the close hall entrance and corridors from basements and halfbasement of close hall and corridors as D.2 f).

��

��

D.11. Air supply flow used for anti-smoke protection needs to be calculated to make sure an air pressure is not lower than 20 Pa at the following locations:

a) The lower part of lift well when all entrance doors of lift well are well closed at every level (except the low level); b) The lower part of all compartments of the uncontaminated staircase type N2, when all doors along the exit way from corridors and halls on level having fire, which lead to staircase and from the building to the outside, when all doors from the corridors and halls on all remaining levels are well closed; c) Buffer chambers on level having fire in buildings which have smoke-uncontaminated staircase type N3, when entrance way to corridors or hall at basement, lift waiting room and buffer chambers in front of lift has one opening door and all other levels are well closed. Air supply flow into buffer chamber on one opening door must be calculated when the air blown through the door has an average speed (but not lower than 1,3m/s), and must calculated to combination effect of exhausting smoke outside. Calculation of the air supply flow into a close buffer chamber must be considered to the loss of air through door gaps. The excess of air pressure must be compared to the adjacent space with protected compartments. D.12. The calculation of the air supply system parameters must be included:

a) The excess of air pressure is not lower than 20 Pa and not more than 50 Pa – at the smoke-uncontaminated lift wells, stairs type N2, in the buffer chambers of smokeuncontaminated stair well type N3 in adjacent spaces (halls, lobby); b) The two-wing doors with large area; c) The elevator communication with reference to the stairs and when the elevator doors at the given floor is opening. D.13. The pipes and equipment of the air supply system to be made from non-flammable material having fire-resistant limit in conformity with the requirements of current relevant standards.
