Smoke is the leading killer in destructive fires, and NFPA 105: Standard for Smoke Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives presents comprehensive requirements for the performance of required smoke door assemblies and other opening protectives -- such as smoke dampers that are intended to limit the spread of smoke.

To facilitate your work, the 2013 edition of NFPA 105:

• References 2013 NFPA 80 for inspection, testing, and maintenance of smoke door assemblies, giving users the full benefit of greater guidance on ITM and more user-friendly rules.
• Includes revised Annex language on smoke dampers that coordinates with NFPA 72: Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.
