Abstract:
Some of the recent work done at NIST in the area of
validating reduced-scale toxicity test methods against
full-scale room fire data is reviewed. The agreements
and disagreements obtained thus far are summarized. The
current NIST research program for systematizing the
validation process itself is also reviewed.
