Fire Curtains

I have no details on the contents but it is available from BSI shop at http://shop.bsigroup.com/en/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030151490

Ok, this is for fire barriers and 12101-1 is for smoke barriers. 

Fire barriers do not necessarily require the additional use of natural or mechanical smoke ventilation whereas smoke barriers generally do.

I agree it seems European Standard EN 12101 is all about SHEVS and part 1 is about the specification for smoke barriers.

BSI PAS 121:2007 is about active fire curtain barrier assemblies which can have a role to play in both fire engineered designs to assist smoke control and also as an alternative to fire doors and  partitions in prescriptive means of escape codes.

I would guess PAS 121 is the appropriate guidance for this post and has a section on maintenance.

When you read it, just remember who wrote the article and who comissioned the PAS.
