What is PD ISO/TS 16733-2 about?
PD ISO/TS 16733-2 provides guidance for the specification of design fires for use in fire safety engineering analysis of buildings and structures in the built environment. The design fire is intended to be used in an engineering analysis to determine consequences in fire safety engineering (FSE) analyses.
Who is PD ISO/TS 16733-2 for?
PD ISO/TS 16733-2 on fire safety engineering is relevant to:
- Entities involved in fire safety engineering
- Regulatory bodies
- Certification bodies
Why should you use PD ISO/TS 16733-2?
PD ISO/TS 16733-2 provides guidance for the specification of design fires for use in fire safety engineering analysis. A design fire is linked to a specific scenario that is tailored to the fire-safety design objective and describes the sequence of a fire event with regard to the effect of all parameters which influence the firing process.
It is important that the design fire be appropriate to the objectives of the fire-safety engineering analysis. PD ISO/TS 16733-2 challenges the fire safety systems in a specific built environment and results in a final design solution that satisfies performance criteria associated with all the relevant design objectives.
