Fire shutdown module for ventilation and ACU

Tom D

I was wondering if a fire alarm shutdown module for the air conditioning unit is required

I know this kind of interface is mandatory for ventilation systems that bring in fresh air from outside in order to prevent the fire from spreading  in the event of a fire .

ChatGPT is providing conflicting information: sometimes it says the module is not required, and at other times it says the module is needed to reduce air movement and circulation and avoid the fire spreading.

What is your opinion on this, guys?

    If this is a place other than a dwelling, the answer is as simple as:

    "What does the fire safety risk assessment require, and/or devolved Building Regulations for the particular premises."

    See also BS 9999.

    I am working on switchgear enclosure looks like the ones below but larger containing more modules/rooms.

    Also, need to consider ventilation required for gases or vapours for relevant equipment, such as batteries and some switchgear, and how they are to be considered in a fire situation, unless there is separate ventilation for these straight into 'sealed' enclosures. See BS EN IEC 62485 series for battery ventilation.
