What is Smoke Shaft Air Leakage Testing?

Smoke shaft air leakage testing measures how much air escapes or enters a smoke shaft system. A smoke shaft is a vertical duct designed to remove smoke from corridors and stairwells during a fire, keeping escape routes clear. The test ensures the shaft is airtight enough to function effectively, pushing smoke out safely. During testing, equipment is used to pressurise the shaft and detect any leaks. If the shaft allows too much air through, it may not work properly in an emergency. Accurate results help builders and developers fix any issues before handover, protecting future occupants and meeting fire safety regulations.
