The long-awaited BS 9991:2024 – Fire safety in the design, management and use of residential buildings, represents one of the most significant overhauls to residential fire safety in nearly a decade.
During a fire, smoke moves rapidly through a building, making it one of the biggest threats to life and property. Smoke inhalation is the leading cause of fire-related deaths, which is why every building should have a smoke ventilation system to efficiently remove smoke and heat.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 introduced new, legally enforceable duties for high-rise (risk) residential buildings (HRBs), with a particular focus on improving building information, inspection regimes and fault management. For smoke ventilation systems, these regulations significantly raise the bar on maintenance and responsibility.
Designing a smoke ventilation system, starts with a clear schematic. A schematic is the blueprint of how a building’s smoke management system operates, showing how all inputs and outputs are connected. Rather than just listing components, a schematic illustrates cable requirements for a compliant smoke ventilation system making it an essential tool for engineers, installers, and fire safety managers.

We are thrilled to announce that Teal Products is now an official member of the Smoke Control Association. This membership marks an important step in our ongoing commitment to excellence in the smoke control and fire safety industry.
Fire safety is often associated with alarms, sprinklers, and extinguishers. A frequently overlooked yet essential component of smoke ventilation systems are the Smoke Control Dampers.
When planning a new development or refurbishment, effective smoke ventilation is essential for compliance, safety, and design. Selecting the right Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) window plays a critical role in protecting occupants during a fire while integrating seamlessly with your building’s architectural and functional requirements.
RGE Services and Teal Products recently hosted an exclusive Smoke Control seminar at the Loading Bay, London. The event brought together professionals dedicated to the safety and maintenance of residential buildings, creating a collaborative space for knowledge exchange and industry insights.
