Fire Safety Engineering — Requirements Governing Algebraic formulae — Part 8: Flame spread on a solid surface

Scope

The requirements in this standard govern the application of explicit algebraic formula sets to the calculation of flame spread.
This standard is an implementation of the general requirements provided in ISO 16730 for the case of fire dynamics calculations involving sets of explicit algebraic formulas.
This standard is arranged in the form of a template, where specific information relevant to algebraic flame spread formulas is provided to satisfy the following types of general requirements:
a) Description of physical phenomena addressed by the calculation method
b) Documentation of the calculation procedure and its scientific basis
c) Input parameters for the calculation method
d) Limitations of the calculation method
e) Domain of applicability of the calculation method
1.4 Examples of sets of algebraic formulas meeting all the requirements of this standard will be provided in separate Annexes to this standard. Currently, there are two informative annex containing algebraic equations for calculating the impact of flame spread rate on heat release rate of combustible objects, surrounding objects, and enclosure linings.
