Abstract
This report has been written to provide an interim guide accounting for
the basic factors that should be considered in formulatina a fire detection
system selection criteria and the verification of such a system.
The fire detection system selection criteria that is proposed here still
requires a viable mix of good engineering judgement, the use of qualified
investigators, and excellent reporting and administrative procedures; all of
which should be coupled to the results of current research that has been discussed herein.
The fire detection analysis should address five major phases required in
a fire detection analysis, viz, (1) establishing area detector requirements,
(2) selection of specific detector types, (3) location and spacing of
detectors, (4) installation tests and maintenance, and (5) administrative
controls and reporting.
