... Performance-based codes and standards are a growing reality around the world. With state-of-the-art guides for fire modeling and guides to the writing of fire hazard assessment standards and fire risk assessment standards, ASTM E-5 has played an essential role and has been one of the earliest...

... After the ASTM fire policy was first adopted in 1973, it was established that committee E5 would be responsible for developing fire hazard assessment and fire risk as- sessment standards. Since fire hazard is directly related to the type of occupancy involved, it was quickly recognized...

... Fire risk rating schedules (FRRS) are heuristic models of fire safety. They constitute various processes of modeling and scoring fire hazards and other risk parameters to produce a rapid and simple estimate of relative risk. Selected examples of FRRSs are briefly described to illustrate...

... The growing interest in fire risk analysis in the past decade has not eliminated a substantial degree of confusion and disagreement over the meaning of key terms like fire risk and fire hazard and over the bases for choosing an analytical approach that is right for each problem. This paper...

... The Building Code Assessment Framework (BCAF) is an analytical tool which systematically evaluates changes to the National and Provincial Building Codes in Canada. It is intended to provide strategic advice to code developers. This paper discusses the fire risk analysis and assessment approach...

... and for planning fire safety improvements. Estimating the extent of future fire events is now largely dependent on experienced judgment; a sound mathematical model can provide better, more reliable answers. The desirability of such a model is also shown by ASTM Committee E-5's fire risk analysis development...

... Fire standards have been characterized in the ASTM Policy on Fire Standards (1979) as either fire risk assessment standards or fire test standards. Although the need for fire risk assessment standards is evident, there is a lack of understanding of what a fire risk assessment standard...
