Testing of Materials for Fire Protection Needs: European Standard Test Methods for the Building Sector

By Linda Makovicka Osvaldova and Widya Fatriasari

This book offers an overview of European testing methods for fire protection materials.

Used in a broad range of applications, these materials are designed to ensure that fires do not occur, or that their effects are combated to the greatest extent possible. The book deals with methods not only for the construction industry but also, for example, for furniture / interior furnishings, plastics, and clothing, including special-purpose clothing for firefighters and rescuers, explosive mixtures, the intensity of smoke, etc.

This comprehensive book examines standardized testing methods, while also assessing large-scale tests and specialized non-standardized tests and providing information on various materials and their behavior when exposed to flame.
