Bibliography

Gives advice on methods for assessment and verification of the applicability and accuracy of mathematical fire models employed as fire safety engineering tools. Specific fire models are not covered, and it is not a step-by-step method, however, it does outline techniques for finding limitations and errors in a calculation model.

This part of ISO/TR13387 provides guidance on procedures for assessing and verifying the accuracy and applicability of deterministic mathematical fire models used as tools for fire safety engineering. It does not address specific fire models. It is not a step-by-step procedure, but does describe techniques for detecting errors and finding limitations in a calculation model. This part of ISO/TR13387 does not address the assessment and verification of totally probabilistic approaches to fire safety calculations, or the probabilistic elements that may be combined with deterministic calculations.
