就设计指南和参考手册中应包含的基本工程方法，为设计师、监管机构和消防安全专业人员提供指导，以预测火灾事件发生的时间，激活自动报警系统和设计用于控制火灾增长的自动系统的时间，以及激活的自动灭火系统在限制火灾潜在后果方面的有效性。

Sets out guidance to designers, regulators and fire-safety professionals on the fundamental engineering methods that should be included in design guides and reference manuals for the prediction of times to detect fire events, times to activate automatic alarm systems and automatic systems designed to control fire growth and the effectiveness of activated automatic suppression systems in limiting the potential consequences of a fire.
