✦ Synopsis

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 various approaches used to measure smoke in large scale fire tests, and their requirement and their limitations, as well as correlations between full scale test rigs. *To BS DD58. **Amount burned in test was approx. 80 -90% of initial mass. ***Estimated. P, Pass cigarette test. F, Fail cigarette test.

## Abstract The storage of large amounts of polymers and other bulk chemicals is a potential hazard in the case of fire. There is at present a lack of knowledge about the implications of such fires. In particular the role of the ventilation conditions on fire chemistry has warranted investigation.

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
