Gives general advice on using engineering procedures for predicting fire spread within and between buildings, and to predict response of a structure exposed to fire. Could be used as the basis for developing a guide, but not meant to be a detailed technical design guide. Supplies a framework for critical review of the suitability of an engineering procedure for assessment of the potential for fire spread and fire damage to the structure of a building. In addition, it gives guidance for assessment of the effectiveness of fire safety measures intended for reduction of these potentials.

This part of ISO/TR13387 is intended to provide general guidance on the use of engineering methods for the prediction of fire spread within and between buildings, and for the prediction of the response of a structure exposed to fire. The report is not intended as a detailed technical design guide, but could be used as the basis for development of such a guide.

This part of ISO/TR13387 provides a framework for critically reviewing the suitability of an engineering method for assessing the potential for fire spread and for fire damage to a building\'s structure. It also provides guidance for assessing the effectiveness of fire safety measures meant to reduce these potentials.
