- Abstract
- In this report the EUREFIC fire research program is summarised project by projects. It contains a complete list of publications including nearly 70 titles of scientific reports and papers, and a video. Instructions are also given on how to obtain test data, computer codes on prediction models etc from the appropriate laboratories. The Cone Calorimeter and the ISO Room Corner test were used for testing wall and ceiling linings. The EUREFIC program was carried out under the leadership of the Nordic official fire test laboratories in 1989 to 1992. The objective was to show that modern testing techniques could be used for evaluating the fire behavior of building materials. The program has had a great influence on the discussions in Europe on how to find a harmonised solution on reaction-to-fire classification of construction products.
