Abstract
These are designed to hold back smoke at a leaky physical barrier in a building, such as a door (either open or closed) or other similarly restricted openings. Details are given for calculation, test procedures, installation and commissioning procedures. They are intended to offer protection for means of escape (stairwells, corridors and lobbies) and to provide a protected firefighting bridgehead for the Fire Services.
