Abstract

In this article the various developments in the field of fire safety regarding the single European market, foreseen by 1992, are reviewed. After a brief discussion on the prospects and the needs of a European harmonization, the subject is approached from two points of view: formal aspects and technical aspects. Under ‘formal aspects’ the essence and probable impact of some European directives are discussed and a summary is given of the various initiatives which are taken to arrive at harmonized technical specifications. Under ‘technical aspects’ both scientific and practical facets of European harmonization in the field of fire safety are reviewed. The role played by Professor Pettersson in this process, is highlighted.
