Abstract:
The NIST Annual Conference on Fire Research has long
been the prime forum for presentation and discussion of
the latest advances in the science of fire and the
engineering of fire safety. Hundreds of billions of
dollars of products and services are involved in fire
safety decisions each year. New technology is changing
the way those products are developed, manufactured,
evaluated, and used. This conference enables all
interested parties to hear of and discuss advances in
fire science, with the intent of stimulating (a) new
products that are more fire-safe and (b) new ways to
capture that value in the ways products are tested and
approved for use. The conference scope includes all
fire research performed within Federal laboratories or
sponsored by Federal agencies, as well as work from
laboratories around the world.
