Guidance for assessing the validity of physical fire models for obtaining fire effluent toxicity data for fire hazard and risk assessment — Part 2: Evaluation of individual physical fire models

ISO/TR 16312-2:2007 assesses the utility of physical fire models that have been standardized, are commonly used and/or are cited in national or international standards, for generating fire effluent toxicity data of known accuracy. It does so using the criteria established in ISO/TR 16312-1 and the guidelines established in ISO/TR 19706. The aspects of the models that are considered are the intended application of the model, the combustion principles it manifests, the fire stage(s) that the model attempts to replicate, the types of data generated, the nature and appropriateness of the combustion conditions to which test specimens are exposed and the degree of validity established for the model.
