Abstract

The use of fire tests in assessing fire hazards is described against a general discussion of the uses of fire tests, the concepts of fire hazard and fire risk and the methods of test classification. Four approaches to fire hazard assessment are explored: analysis of fire risk data, simulation experiments, ‘direct data’† tests and fire hazard specifications using direct data or ‘supportive data’ tests. It is concluded that users of these tests need to be aware of their significance and the manner in which they should be used.
