Abstract
Recent work at the UK Fire Research Station has provided a measure of the possible contribution to fire growth from the combustion of such components as wall or ceiling panels rather than the well-known contribution from surface spread of flame on wall and ceiling linings. The oxygen depletion technique is used to assess the rate of heat release from panels with a range of facing materials and different cellular polymer cores. The paper discusses how such an experimental approach may be adapted to direct validating modelling techniques with certain components but must take account of the variablity in existing building practices.
