History
Based on British design methods: -Fire papers 7 & 10 1963 & 1964 -BR 34 1979 -BR 186 1990 -BR 258 1994 -BR 368 1999 -BS 7346-4 2003

Why a CEN/TR?
A CEN/TR is a Technical Report.
It does not have the same authority as an EN.
Purpose of the TR
Fire Size
Guidance to designers on function and steady state calculation of SHEVS. Doesnt cover equipment selection or installation (CEN/TR 12101-4).
Time
Gives zoning, mass and volume flow rates, aerodynamic area of exhaust and inlet and minimum number of exhausts.

Weaknesses
Limited guidance on fire size. Not very user friendly layout. Best spill plume calculation is difficult to use. More research is needed to improve some calculations.

Options
The standard is deliberately written with all calculations in Informative Annexes. This allows use of alternative calculation methods, such as NFPA 92 or 204, while still following 12101-5. Mixing calculation methods is not recommended. Follow one method throughout.

Results
Following this standard provides design flow rates and ventilation areas. There is still much work to be done to turn this into an installed system. CEN/TR 12101-4 and/or national guidance can be used for this.

The future
12101-12 for time dependent design is being written. It takes a more European approach. 12101-5 will need to change to match it but probably not for at least 5 years. In the meantime used properly CEN/TR 12101-5 is a good guide, probably the best.
