Application of fire safety engineering principles to the design of buildings. Guide to design framework and fire safety engineering procedures.
It recognises that a range of alternative and complementary fire protection strategies can achieve the design objectives.
This published document is intended to provide a framwork for a flexible but formalized approach to fire safety design that can also be readily assessed by the statuory authorities.
It is intended that this Published document, when used by person suitably qualified and experienced in fire safety engineering, will provide a means of establishing acceptable levels of fire safety economically and without imposing unnecessary constraints on other aspects of building design.
