Astm's Role in Performance-Based Fire Codes and Standards

by John Raymond Hall (Editor)

From the December 1998 symposium of the same name come 11 contributions which explore the role ASTM (an international developer of technical and materials standards) can play in the propagation of performance-based fire codes and standards in the United States and Canada (codes and standards already widely used in Europe). After some papers which discuss general concepts and principles, topics include specific methods and tools, alliances with groups with such groups such as the Society of Fire Protection Engineers and the National Fire Protection Association, and other topics.
