Inspection Smoke Control Systems (RCS)
Receive a quote tailored to your needs
Construction works must comply with regulations outlined in the Bouwbesluit. If compliance cannot be achieved, it is possible to provide an equivalent interpretation to the Bouwbesluit requirements. This can be substantiated in various ways, such as application of smoke control systems.
Smoke control systems could, for example, consist of smoke and heat venting system, pressurisation systems or longitudinal ventilation and impulse ventilation systems. Each of these systems has its own application range, but share a common objective: to ensure that a smoke-free escape egress is created within a building structure - for example in office buildings and car parks.
CCV Inspection Scheme
A smoke control system in a building structure must be certified based on the CCV Inspection Scheme for smoke control systems as stipulated by the Bouwbesluit. Kiwa FSS assesses the system in combination with other associated systems as well as structural and organizational measures in order to obtain a certificate of smoke control system based on the CCV Scheme. We are accredited by the Raad voor Accreditatie (RvA) (‘Accreditation Council’) to conduct RCS inspections, which assures our expertise and independence.

Inspection Execution and Reporting
During the inspection, it will be determined whether the fire protection system complies with the applicable requirements. After completion of the inspection, the inspector records the findings and any non-conformities in an inspection report.
Review of the Inspection Report
The inspection report and its conclusion are subsequently reviewed to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and consistency of the assessment.
Non-Conformities and Corrective Actions
If deficiencies are identified, appropriate corrective actions must be implemented. These actions must be documented and supported with the necessary evidence, which is submitted to the inspector for review. Once the deficiencies have been resolved, the inspector will assess whether they can be closed. This assessment may be carried out administratively or through a re-inspection.
Decision on the Issuance of the Inspection Certificate
If the inspection results in a positive conclusion, an inspection certificate will be granted.
Issuance of the Inspection Certificate
Following a positive certification decision, the organization will receive the inspection report together with the corresponding inspection certificate.
