Fire safety design – new international Standard will help save lives and cut cost

A new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard for fire safety engineering should help to save lives, reduce costs due to fire damage, and bring substantial economic savings through improved fire safety design.

Fire safety engineering – General principles, ISO 23932:2009 provides general principles for a performance-based methodology for engineers to assess the level of fire safety for new or existing built environments.

The Standard:

provides an overview of how fire safety-engineering analyses and assessments are conducted, with links to more specific Standards, including those already published or under development.
is written for fire safety scientists and engineers who participate in, are affected by, or need to understand better the context of the Standards developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, 'Fire safety', Subcommittee SC 4, 'Fire safety engineering'. It is also very valuable for practising fire engineers.
