What is ISO/TR 9122-4 - Specification of a fire model about?
ISO/TR 9122 is a series on toxicity testing of fire effluents. One of the main causes of human losses in fires is exposure to fire effluent. ISO/TR 9122-4 is restricted to the consideration of fire models (i.e., laboratory combustion devices) used in fire effluent toxicity studies, together with suggestions for the appropriate use of the fire models in standard testing.
ISO/TR 9122-4 defines the criteria for an acceptable fire model, reviews existing fire models against these criteria, and proposes that fire models be selected for use through consideration of these criteria which includes a capacity to generate fire conditions characteristic of known stages of fire.
