    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This standard defines terms specific to, and in general use by, fire protection agencies.

    Fire safety engineering and fire testing terms are covered in BSENISO13943.

    This standard does not include terms where the standard dictionary definition is applicable. Neither does it include terms and definitions which are unique to any small specialized discipline within fire safety.
