Draft Designation: DR 98305Reconfirmed by: AS 4391-1999 Rec:2016 Smoke management systems - Hot smoke test
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee ME/62, Ventilation and Airconditioning, to supersede AS/NZS 4391(Int)—
1996.
This Standard is the result of a consensus among Australian and New Zealand representatives on the Joint committee to produce it as an Australian Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to provide a standardized methodology for the subjection of smoke management systems to a safe hot smoke test to be used by system designers, installers and regulators.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
