Excerpt

Fire safety engineering is developing quickly in Europe. While some countries have a couple of decades of experience from performance-based codes, there are many countries who would not have allowed fire safety engineering methods just 10 years ago, but who do so today [1, 2]. Globally, fire safety engineering communities have been along for many years and there is also plenty of technical publications supporting engineering approaches to fire safety, such as the handbook [3] produced by Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) as well as national or international standards for fire safety engineering to just name a few. …
