Guidance for assessing the validity of physical fire models for obtaining fire effluent toxicity data for fire hazard and risk assessment — Part 1: Criteria

ISO 16312-1:2004 provides technical criteria and guidance for evaluating physical fire models (i.e. laboratory combustion devices and operating protocols) used in effluent toxicity studies for obtaining data on the effluent from products and materials under fire conditions relevant to life safety. Reference should be made to ISO 19701, ISO 19702, ISO 19703, ISO 19706, ISO 13344, and ISO/TS 13571 for presentation of relevant analytical methods, calculation methods, bioassay procedures and prediction of the toxic effects of fire effluents.
