Abstract [en]
This paper presents a set of recommended reaction-To-fire test methods and related criteria for different construction products and furnishing products for use on offshore petroleum industry facilities. The system was first developed and published in 2008, as a response to performance based fire safety regulations. It has since then been extensively used by petroleum companies operating on the Norwegian shelf. The recommendations have been revised and updated recently to take revisions and developments of regulations, standards and test methods into account. These recommendations can be used as a part of the risk management system where the fire safety in high risk application areas shall be controlled, and are not limited to application of materials on facilities in the offshore petroleum industry only.
