14、 is a new part of the PD 7974 series. The series comprises: Part 0: Guide to design framework and fire safety engineering procedures; Part 1: Initiation and development of fire within the enclosure of origin (Sub-system 1); Part 2: Spread of smoke and toxic gases within and beyond the enclosure of o
15、rigin (Sub-system 2); Part 3: Structural response and fire spread beyond the enclosure of origin (Sub-system 3); Part 4: Detection of fire and activation of fire protection systems (Sub-system 4); Part 5: Fire and rescue service intervention (Sub-system 5); Part 6: Human factors Life safety strategi

These Published Documents are intended to be used in support of BS 7974. Information about this document This is a full
17、 revision of the standard and introduces the following principal changes: the standard has been rewritten to accommodate changes resulting from the National standards of fire cover having been withdrawn and replaced by locally determined standards of fire cover developed through a process called “in
18、tegrated risk management planning”; guidance is provided on the relationship between building design and fire and rescue service operating procedures.

19、guidance and recommendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification or a code of practice and claims of compliance cannot be made to it. Presentational conventions The guidance in this standard is presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Any recommendations are expressed in sentences
20、in which the principal auxiliary verb is “should”. Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element. Contractual and legal considerations This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions
21、 of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application. Compliance with a Published Document cannot confer immunity from legal obligations. PUBLISHED DOCUMENT PD 7974-5:2014 2 The British Standards Institution 2014Introduction This Published Document is one of a series of documents intend
22、ed to support BS 7974. BS 7974 provides a framework for developing a rational methodology for design using a fire safety engineering approach through the application of scientific and engineering principles to the protection of people, property and the environment from fire. The Published Documents
23、(PDs) contain guidance and information on how to undertake quantitative and detailed analysis of specific aspects of the design. They are a summary of current practice and it is intended that they be updated as new theories, calculation methods and/or data become available. They do not preclude the
24、use of appropriate methods and data from other sources. BS 7974 can be used to define one or more fire safety design issues to be addressed using fire safety engineering. The appropriate PD(s) can then be used to set specific acceptance criteria and/or to undertake detailed analysis. A fire safety e
25、ngineering (FSE) approach that takes into account the total fire safety package can often provide a more fundamental and economical solution than more prescriptive approaches to fire safety. It might in some cases be the only viable means of achieving a satisfactory standard of fire safety in some l
26、arge or complex buildings. Fire safety engineering can have many benefits. The use of BS 7974 can facilitate the practice of fire safety engineering and in particular it can: a) provide the designer with a disciplined approach to fire safety design; b) allow the safety levels for alternative designs
27、 to be compared; c) provide a basis for selection of appropriate fire protection systems; d) provide opportunities for innovative design; and e) provide information on the management of fire safety for a building. Fire is an extremely complex phenomenon and there are still gaps in the available know
28、ledge. When used by suitably qualified persons, experienced in fire safety engineering, the series of documents can provide a means of establishing acceptable levels of fire safety economically and without imposing unnecessary constraints on aspects of building design. 1 Scope This part of PD 7974 p
29、rovides guidance on fire safety engineering and the necessary interaction with fire service intervention activities. This Published Document applies irrespective of whether the design objective, or fire service activities, are intended to support life safety, property, business, mission, or heritage
30、 protection objectives, as defined in the qualitative design review (QDR) process described in BS 7974 and PD 7974-0. The guidance provides an understanding of both the capabilities and limitations of fire service intervention, and takes into account the physiological demands on fire-fighters, the f
31、ire-fighting procedures that are used and the limitations of fire-fighting equipment. This part of PD 7974 is intended to be applied to the design of new and, where appropriate, the appraisal of existing, buildings and plant. It also contains analytical tools that allow an analysis of fire and rescu
32、e service intervention and offers a range of approaches that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of fire and rescue service intervention if analysis indicates that design objectives might not be achieved. The fire and rescue service can request access and facilities to assist them with em
33、ergencies other than fire. The recommendations contained in this document could be of value when considering such requests but the primary purpose of this document is concerned with fire.

40、cident or are on their way to the incident; b) act or process of a fire appliance being mobilized and travelling to an incident NOTE For the fire and rescue service, the word “attendance” has a slightly different meaning depending on the context in which it is used. Since this Published Document aim
41、s to achieve effective interaction between the fire engineer and the fire and rescue service, the fire and rescue service terminology is used within the text. 3.2 attendance time (t attend ) duration of time that passes between the fire and rescue service control room being notified that a fire appl

For large and complex projects, the QDR should be carried out by a study team involving one or more fire safety engineers, other members of the design team and a member of operational management. For smaller projects however, the QDR may be carried ou
