ISO 16730:2008
Scope
This International Standard provides a framework for assessment, verification and validation of all types of
calculation methods used as tools for fire safety engineering It does not address specific fire models, but is
intended to be applicable to both analytical models and complex numerical models that are addressed as
calculation methods in the context of this International Standard It is not a step-by-step procedure, but does
descdbe techniques for detecting errors and finding limitations in a calculation method
This International Standard includes
--- a process to ensure that the equations and calculation methods are implemented correctly (verification)
and that the calculation method being considered is solving the appropriate problem (validation),
-- requirements for documentation to demonstrate the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis of a
calculation method,
requirements for data against which a calculation method's predicted results shall be checked,
-- guidance on use of this International Standard by developers and/or users of calculation methods, and by those assessing the results obtained by using calculation methods
