This standard PD 7974-7:2019+A1:2021 Application of fire safety engineering principles to the design of buildings is classified in these ICS categories:
91.040.01 Buildings in general
13.220.20 Fire protection
This Published Document provides guidance on probabilistic risk analysis in support of BS 7974. It sets out the situations in which a probabilistic risk assessment can add value to traditional deterministic analyses and outlines acceptance criteria for the assessment. Furthermore, common analysis techniques of probabilistic risk assessment are summarily discussed.
This Published Document also includes data for probabilistic risk assessment based on fire statistics, building characteristics and reliability of fire protection systems.
This Published Document does not contain guidance on techniques for hazard identification or qualitative risk analysis.
