The work of preparing Internatio
13、nal Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO
14、, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical com
15、mittees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the

17、2009ISO 23932:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved vIntroduction The vast majority of fire safety designs rely on prescriptive specifications written into regional, national or local regulations. Currently, various engineering approaches are also allowed by these regulations, although information ne
18、eded for an engineering approach is still generally obtained from conventional test methods. Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is a discipline increasingly being used throughout the world in support of performance-based design, i.e. the reliance on engineering methods to determine whether a given design
19、 meets stated performance objectives. An example of such a concept already in use in the current regulatory environment is the “equivalency concept”, where FSE supplements prescriptive design by being applied in a performance-based analysis to specific aspects of a design to obtain “equivalent” perf
20、ormance. The eight parts to ISO/TR 13387 developed by ISO/TC 92/SC 4 have already outlined the fundamental methodologies of FSE. The difference between prescriptive and performance-based approaches to fire-safety design is highlighted in this International Standard by emphasizing the development of
21、quantifiable fire-safety objectives as the first step in a performance-based analysis. Such objectives can be completely deterministic in nature or contain both deterministic and probabilistic aspects as used in a fire-risk assessment approach. The new infrastructure of International Standards suppo
22、rting performance-based fire-safety design consists of two basic types of fire-safety standards: a) conceptual standards that describe the underlying concepts and contain general requirements for both engineering and test methods to support performance-based design; these correspond to principle and
23、 phenomenon standards in the ISO/TC 92 framework report; b) standards that adapt the conceptual standards to specific configurations of the built environment, e.g. structural systems, transportation systems and manufacturing processes; these correspond to configuration standards in the ISO/TC 92 fra
24、mework report. Conceptual standards have the advantage of broad applicability as guides for local/regional adoption and for new types of situations, while configuration standards are more specific and detailed. This International Standard on general design principles and design philosophy for fire-s
25、afety engineering contains a comprehensive overview of the performance-based design process for fire safety and thus represents the type of principle standard discussed in the ISO/TC 92 framework report. As such, it is also a template guiding the development of other standards applicable to a wide r
26、ange of generic and specific fire-safety design situations. Hence, it is important that this International Standard be viewed as an outline of the fire-safety engineering design process, not as a detailed design methodology.

27、ISO 2009 All rights reserved 1Fire safety engineering General principles 1 Scope This International Standard provides general principles for a performance-based methodology for engineers to assess the level of fire safety for new or existing built environments. Fire safety is evaluated through an en
28、gineered approach based on the quantification of the behaviour of fire and people and based on knowledge of the consequences of such behaviour on life safety, property and the environment. This International Standard is not intended as a detailed technical design guide, but does contain the key elem
29、ents needed by practicing fire safety engineers and peer reviewers (those entities who can be required to review the work of fire-safety engineers) for addressing the different steps and their linkages in a design process. The information contained in this International Standard is intended not only
30、 to be useful to engineers directly but also to serve as a template to guide the development of a consistent set of fire-safety engineering documents covering the role of engineering methods and test methods in performance-based design and assessment. The basic principles of fire-safety design and r
31、elated fire-safety objectives in this International Standard can be applied in any other document addressing phenomena associated with fire (e.g. fire growth, hot gases and effluents movement, structural and compartmentalization behaviour). Related fire-safety objectives include, for example, safety
32、 of life; conservation of property; continuity of operations; protection of the environment; preservation of heritage. Furthermore, these basic principles can be applied to all configurations of the built environment (e.g. buildings, transportation systems and industrial installations). Because pres
33、criptive regulations covering fire-safety design will co-exist for some time with performance-based design, this International Standard takes into account that fire-safety designs conforming to prescriptive regulations can become the basis for comparison of engineered designs of new built environmen

45、d by interested/affected parties beyond mandatory objectives 4 Overview of the fire-safety engineering process Fire is a complex phenomenon that imposes fluid-dynamic, thermal, mechanical and chemical actions (loads) on a built environment, on occupants or users of a built environment and on fire se
46、rvices. Therefore, it is essential that the fire-safety design process outlined in this International Standard be an integral part of all construction projects involving aspects that cannot be adequately accommodated by prescriptive requirements. The fact that fire actions (loads) can lead to change
47、s that alter subsequent fire behaviour, with a resulting modification of the fire action (load), makes the interaction of fire-safety design with all other component design features essential during the life of a project. For example, boundaries can rupture in response to a fire, which can allow the
48、 introduction of additional ventilation causing an increase in fire intensity. The actions of building occupants can also influence the fire development by opening or closing doors/windows or by attempting to fight the fire. The chart in Figure 1 is an outline of the fire-safety engineering process
49、(design, implementation and maintenance) of a built environment, with reference to clause numbers where the process is explained in more detail. Figure 1 shows the various steps required for the development of a fire-safety engineering process that fully meets the objectives of all interested/affected parties. After having defined accurately the scope of the project (Clause 5), the first step (Clause 6) involves the development of fire-safety objectives, related functional requirements and quantitative performance criteria for
