Fire performance of selected IT-equipment

Simonson, Margaret LU ; Andersson, Petra LU and Bliss, Donald (2004) In Fire Technology 40(1). p.27-37
Abstract

The results from a series of large scale tests are presented to establish the fire performance of a number of common pieces of IT equipment including: computer monitors, printers and CPUs. The monitors have been tested in a fully furnished scenario in the ISO 9705 room arranged in a typical bedroom setting and in a specially constructed 4 m × 5 m room arranged in a typical classroom setting. The other pieces of equipment have been tested directly under the furniture calorimeter. This paper presents HRR for the various tests and discusses the significance of the results in terms of fire safety. A discussion of available statistical and anecdotal information is presented in this context.
