Purpose: This study compares and analyzes domestic and international literature and standards to identify limitations in the performance evaluation framework of smoke control dampers. Method: Based on this analysis, a new experimental methodology and Mock-up structure are proposed. Existing domestic testing frameworks are predominantly focused on static conditions, lacking sufficient consideration of dynamic environments, high-temperature cyclic operation, and leakage classification (Class standards), which are critical for simulating real fire scenarios. To address these shortcomings, international standards such as EN 1366-10, UL 555, and ISO 10294 were reviewed, and a Hot-Smoke Test-based experimental method incorporating fire scenarios was designed. The experimental design ensures safety and cost efficiency by enabling smoke generation without flame production, and the Mock-up structure allows for the simulation of various fire scenarios. Result: The proposed experimental method provides a robust basis for validating the performance of smoke control dampers in complex environments, such as industrial plants. Conclusion: This study is expected to enhance the domestic evaluation framework for smoke control dampers to meet international standards and contribute to improving fire safety in high-risk industrial facilities.
