SP160 Smoking Cabin Tested to GS-IFI-M14 for Airports and Indoor Air Quality

Independent testing evaluates smoke containment and non-smoker protection under defined conditions

Airports and terminals require designated smoking areas that help protect indoor air quality for surrounding passengers and staff. In these shared environments, smokers and non-smokers should be able to coexist without unnecessarily exposing nearby indoor spaces to tobacco smoke and related pollutants.

The SP160 smoking cabin provides a practical indoor smoking solution for airports, terminals and other public environments by capturing and filtering tobacco smoke at the source. Standardised testing provides an objective means of evaluating the performance of smoking cabins used in designated smoking areas.

A selected SP160 smoking cabin configuration was tested in accordance with GS-IFI-M14 with four active smokers under defined test conditions. In practical applications, the cabin is designed to accommodate approximately three to six users, depending on usage patterns and installation conditions.

The evaluation simulates realistic smoking activity under controlled conditions to determine whether tobacco smoke and related pollutants remain effectively contained within the smoking cabin. During testing, emissions released into the surrounding environment are monitored using specialised measuring instruments that detect and quantify hazardous substances.

The GS-IFI-M14 evaluation confirmed that the tested SP160 configuration met the applicable test criteria for non-smoker protection under the defined test conditions, demonstrating its ability to limit smoke emissions into the surrounding environment.
