This document describes and classifies a range of laboratory ignition sources for use in fire tests on plastics and products consisting substantially of plastics. These sources vary in intensity and area of impingement. They are suitable for use to simulate the initial thermal abuse to which plastics are potentially exposed in certain actual fire risk scenarios. This compilation of standard ignition sources describes the ignition sources used by different standards development organizations and ...view more

This document specifies a small-scale laboratory screening procedure for comparing the relative burning characteristics of horizontally oriented, small cellular plastic specimens having a density less than 250 kg⋅m−3 determined in accordance with ISO 845, when exposed to a small-flame ignition source.

This method of test is intended for quality assurance and limited product evaluation o...view more

This document describes a protocol for the verification and validation of building fire evacuation models. This document mostly addresses evacuation model components as they are in microscopic (agent-based) models. Nevertheless, it can be adopted (entirely or partially) for macroscopic models if the model is able to represent the components under consideration. The area of application of the evacuation models discussed in this document includes performance-based design of buildings and the revie...view more

1.1   This document defines requirements and tests which apply to:
-   collecting heads with a nominal pressure of 16 bar (1,6 MPa) PN16 which are used by fire and rescue services to combine two or more inlets into one or more outlets;
-   dividing breechings with a nominal pressure of 16 bar (1,6 MPa) PN 16 which are used by fire and rescue services to divide one or more inlets into two or more outlets.
NOTE 1   In this document "ColDiv" is used to refer both to collecting heads and dividing breechi...view more

This European standard specifies oxygen reduction systems that are used as fire prevention systems by creating an atmosphere in an area which is having a lower permanent oxygen concentration as in ambient conditions. The level of oxygen reduction is defined by the individual risks of these areas (see Annex A). Oxygen reduction is achieved by technical systems which are providing a flux of air containing a reduced concentration of oxygen.
This European standard specifies minimum requirements and...view more

This Part of EN 1366 specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of vertical and horizontal ventilation ducts including those access panels, which are integral part of the tested ducts. The test examines the behaviour of ducts exposed to fire from the outside (duct A) and fire inside the duct (duct B). This Standard is used in conjunction with EN1363-1.
Annex A provides general guidance and gives background information.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
a)   ducts whos...view more

This document gives an overview of the evolution of regulations and application of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) in Europe. Based on work performed in 2001-2002, a full update of information has been done. A global survey based on questionnaires defined in 2001, the evolution and possible perspectives of the FSE practices within two perimeters are presented:
-   The first perimeter is the same perimeter analysed in 2001 corresponding to the European Union defined in 2001 extended to European coun...view more
