No standard method has been developed for measuring the evolution of specific toxic gases from building linings when involved in fire. The British Fire Propagation test (BS 476 Part 6) operated in an instrumented room has been proposed for this purpose previously but has not found general acceptance
The Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer method is developed by VTT Fire Technology in Finland, and is described by NORDTEST as NT FIRE 047. The method takes gas samples from the ventilation duct of a cone calorimeter, and is used to perform dynamic quantitative or qualitative measurements. This
Large scale fire tests involving actual products and prototypes are of major importance in that they enable the interactions of various materials, prototypes and design features to be evaluated. The fire regime can be selected to reproduce the anticipated end-use hazard. This paper discusses the va
