NFPA 92 (Guide for Smoke Control Systems)

NFPA 92 is a safety standard that provides guidelines for designing, installing, and maintaining smoke control systems in buildings to ensure safe evacuation during fires. These systems help manage the movement of smoke, directing it away from escape routes and occupied areas, thus improving visibility and air quality. The goal is to reduce fire-related injuries and fatalities by controlling smoke spread, supporting safe evacuation, and aiding firefighting efforts. NFPA 92 covers system types, equipment requirements, testing procedures, and maintenance practices to ensure these life-saving systems function effectively when needed.
