Smoke Ventilation Commissioning
Thorough Testing. Complete Confidence.
At FDS Contracting, we commission and test smoke ventilation systems in accordance with BS 7346-8:2013—Smoke Control Systems, helping to ensure compliance, functionality, and a smooth handover process.
With decades of experience in fire safety and smoke control, our team works closely with developers, contractors, and project managers to deliver smooth, compliant commissioning that meets the highest standards.
We understand how critical final-stage testing is—so we don’t just tick boxes. We investigate every detail to ensure your system operates exactly as intended.

Smoke Ventilation Commissioning
What’s Included in Smoke Ventilation Commissioning
- Functional testing of smoke ventilation systems in line with design specifications and regulatory standards

Why Commissioning Matters
Final commissioning is the difference between a system that works and one that works when it’s needed most.
Proper commissioning not only helps secure Building Control approval but also minimises risk, ensures legal compliance, and provides peace of mind for both client and contractor.
