ISO 15928-4:2017 PDF Download

ISO 15928-4:2017 is a standard that provides a method for describing the fire safety performance of houses. It covers various aspects such as early warning systems, fire suppression mechanisms, fire containment, means of escape, control of structural behavior, and emission and spread of fire effluent. The standard is designed to address user needs, provide performance descriptions, and outline evaluation processes for fire safety in houses.

The main purposes of ISO 15928-4:2017 are to evaluate the design and construction of houses, facilitate international trading of houses or their sub-systems, and develop risk-management tools for the protection of houses. It should be noted that the standard does not specify a specific level of performance and does not provide a design method or criteria.

However, it's important to mention that ISO 15928-4:2017 does not cover the performance of houses exposed to wild fires. The standard also acknowledges that the emission of smoke and hot gases from contents within the house when ignited can impact fire safety performance, but it does not evaluate the specific type or nature of such contents brought into the house.
