Smoke dampers are passive fire protection products designed to impede the spread of smoke to other spaces in the same building.

The term 'smoke damper' is defined (as 'fire and smoke damper', by Approved document B, Fire Safety, Volume 2, Buildings other than dwellinghouses, as a:

'Mechanical or intumescent device within a duct or ventilation opening which is operated automatically and is designed to prevent the passage of fire and which is capable of achieving an integrity E classification and/or an ES classification to BS EN13501-3:2005 when tested to BS EN1366-2:1999. Intumescent fire dampers may be tested to ISO 10294-5.'

Smoke dampers are designed to prevent the flow of smoke and products of combustion, and fire and smoke dampers combine both functions. Smoke dampers and combined dampers are generally resettable, and are operated electronically by smoke and fire detectors, as smoke may be present even where temperatures are not elevated.

Fans and dampers work in combination to exhaust smoke from an area. They do this while pressurising the smoke-free areas around the area that is affected by the smoke.

From 1 July 2013, it became a requirement under the Construction Products Regulation for all new fire and smoke dampers used in UK buildings to be CE-marked to indicate product compliance (ref. CIBSE Journal). This recognises the testing standard BS EN 1366 – Fire resistance tests for service installations, which contains test procedures which ensure dampers are installed appropriately.
