Smoke and heat evacuation systems are used to remove the smoke and heat produced by a fire, facilitating extinguishing operations and the evacuation of people. Smoke and heat evacuation systems maintenance is a regulatory obligation that must be carried out by qualified personnel to ensure their correct functioning in case of fire.
All those operations must be carried out by a professional company specialised in maintenance of smoke evacuation systems.
Ensure that there is no obstruction in the system and that no alterations were made to the geometry of the inspected building (partitions, false ceiling, furniture relocation, etc.) that could prevent its proper functioning. General visual inspection.
Verify the correct functioning of the system components by manually activating them and, if necessary, repair them so that the system is reliably and safely ready for use in case of a fire. Perform a thorough cleaning of the system components.
Ensure that the system operates correctly in both its activation and rest positions. This includes testing its response to both manual and automatic activation signals. Confirm the availability of both the main and auxiliary power sources. Apply oil to the system components. Check the alarm and malfunction signals, as well as their interaction with the fire detection system.
