ISO 16732-1:20 12通过陈述量化和解释火灾相关风险的基本原则，为火灾风险评估提供了概念基础。这些火灾风险原则适用于所有与火灾相关的现象和所有最终用途配置，这意味着这些原则可以适用于所有类型的火灾场景。ISO 16732-1:20 12中的原则和概念可以应用于任何消防安全目标，包括ISO 23932:2009第1条中作为示例列出的五个典型目标: 生命安全 财产保全 业务连续性及安全运作 环境保护 保护遗产

ISO 16732-1:2012 provides the conceptual basis for fire risk assessment by stating the principles underlying the quantification and interpretation of fire-related risk. These fire risk principles apply to all fire-related phenomena and all end-use configurations, which means these principles can be applied to all types of fire scenarios. The principles and concepts in ISO 16732-1:2012 can be applied to any fire safety objectives, including the five typical objectives listed as examples in Clause 1 of ISO 23932:2009:

• safety of life
• conservation of property
• continuity of business and safety operations
• protection of the environment
• preservation of heritage
