DD 180:1989 - Guide for the assessment of toxic hazards in fire in buildings and transport
Printed version of this is available at library. To request, please e-mail to referencepk@usm.my and include a copy of this record in your e-mail.
This Draft for Development provides guidance for
fire safety practitioners in their task of reducing the
possible risk to life presented by fires in structures
(buildings and transport), materials and
composites. Measures are detailed as to how to
consider the relevant issues to reduce the likelihood
of toxic combustion products being formed in
significant quantities.
Because of the great complexity of combustion
toxicology, the Draft cannot provide a set of rules
capable of a single interpretation. Use of the Draft is
indicative that the basic principles have been
considered for assessing toxic hazard. It cannot
provide an absolute guarantee of safety.
