tThis document provides guidance for probabilistic analysis for fire safety engineering. Guidance is given for the use of fire safety engineering methods in order to evaluate compliance with an absolute criterion. This guidance can also be used in combination with INSTA/TS 950 in order to evaluate compliance with comparative criteria. This document provides performance criteria, relevant fire safety engineering methods and input data (reliability data and fire statistics).
This document may be used as a reference for building authorities and for use in verifying compliance with regulations by fire safety designers, local authorities and other parties in the building industry.
The document provided in this document is applicable to all types of fire safety objectives, e.g. life safety, property protection, continuity of operations, environmental and heritage protection.
