Abstract
Elucidation of the correlation between physical properties of buildings, furniture, etc., and fire hazard is obviously counted among the most important objectives of the research of "fire properties". A sensitivity analysis of the properties on the occurrence of so-called flashover should be one of the central problems, since flashover is generally regarded as the transient process which has the most significance on fire safety in buildings.
