Construction products for smoke control and extraction
Fire- or temperature-resistant smoke extraction ducts and powered smoke exhaust ventilators are part of powered smoke control systems and serve to discharge smoke from the building in case of fire. For (CE-marked) powered smoke exhaust ventilators, a differentiation is made between ventilators installed in the room from which the smoke is to be extracted and those installed on the roof outside the building.
Various construction products, e.g. control units, are used to discharge smoke from lift shafts in case of fire.
Regulatory framework
DIBt grants national technical approvals (abZ)/general construction technique permits (aBG) for large-scale smoke extraction ducts as well as national technical approvals for construction products for smoke control in lift shafts.
DIBt also grants general construction technique permits for the installation of powered smoke exhaust ventilators in buildings or on rooftops (MVV TB 2020/1, A 2.2.1.16; Annex 14, Section 7.5.1).
Please also refer to the relevant provisions of the federal states following the MVV TB 2020/1, in particular Section A 2.2.1.16 and Annex 14, Section 7.
National procedure
To prepare an abZ/aBG for your construction product, we need an application from you. We recommend that you contact us prior to doing so. Feel free to send us your enquiry informally via email to dibt(at)dibt(.)de or to the competent technical contact listed in the top right.
For a first assessment, please send us the following information:
- Description of the construction product and its intended field of use
- e.g. material, configuration, number of sizes, variants, dimensions
- e.g. use in walls, ceilings, interior construction, building services
- Description of the construction technique and its field of application
- e.g. design of walls, ceilings, elements, etc., and interaction of components
- e.g. application in foundation engineering, reinforced concrete construction, building insulation; as load-bearing or non-load-bearing component; under static and quasi-static loading; fire exposure; other environmental exposures
- Information regarding impact on regulatory concerns
- in particular structural integrity, fire protection, health and environment protection, sound insulation as well as thermal performance
- Explanation of need for an abZ/aBG
- Do you significantly deviate from the Technical Building Rules?
- Or do neither Technical Building Rules nor generally recognised technical rules exist?
- Contact details
- preferably email address and/or telephone number, as well as name, organisation/company, and postal address
We will then contact you to clarify the next steps.
If you already hold a DIBt approval and/or construction technique permit and wish to apply for an amendment, supplement, or renewal, please use the form provided below.
