This guide is intended primarily for users and developers of mathematical fire models. It is also useful for people conducting fire tests, making them aware of some important applications and uses for small-scale fire test results. The guide thus contributes to increased accuracy in fire model calculations, which depend greatly on the quality of the input data. The emphasis of this guide is on zone models of compartment fires. However, other types of mathematical fire models need many of the same input variables. Note 1—Mathematical fire models in this guide are referred to by their acronyms (see 5.4). |

1.1 This guide describes data required as input for mathematical fire models. 1.2 Guidelines are presented on how the data can be obtained. 1.3 The emphasis in this guide is on compartment zone fire models. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This fire standard cannot be used to provide quantitative measures. |
