IFC'S TECHNICAL DIRECTOR'S REPORT PUBLISHED BY ISO

摘要

ISO/TR 22898 has been published by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) after four years in preparation by Peter Jackman's ISO/TC92/SC2 Working Group (WG7) which met recently in Seattle. Peter Jackman is Technical Director of International Fire Consultants Ltd (IFC). The Technical Report reviews the changes that should be implemented in the current fire resistance standards nationally, European-wide and internationally to make the outputs of the tests more relevant to Fire Engineering. The Working Group, convened by Peter Jackman, has worldwide membership (albeit many of the European member states have not attended so much since the inception of CEN). Although the primary drafting has been undertaken by Peter, countries such as USA, Canada, China, Japan, etc, recognise that the standard fire resistance test has limited applicability in the context of the functional approach to generating a fire safe structure, and have supported the publication.
