Description

NFPA 204, Standard for Smoke and Heat Venting, provides essential venting system requirements for engineers developing fire protection schemes and code enforcers responsible for approving plans. These requirements include, but are not limited to, vents, air inlets, draft curtains, sizing vents, mechanical smoke exhaust systems, limited-growth and continuous-growth fire design, design documentation, inspection and maintenance, and fundamentals, including design objectives, design basis, and determination of contents. The 2024 edition includes: Updated Chapter 11 includes vents in sprinklered buildings to be manually operated when required. Added reference documents to Annex A provide guidance on testing standards for fusible and heat-responsive links.
