Bibliography

Defines guidance on the use and interpretation of results obtained from laboratory tests. Describes currently available approaches to toxic hazard assessment consistent with the approach of ISO TC 92 SC 3, as set out in ISO/TR 9122-6. Deals with guidance on the use of toxic potency data in hazard assessment and on principles which underlie the use of combustibility and toxicological information in hazard assessment. Applicable to data produced by tests measuring the lethal effects of fire effluents. When interpreting data produced by tests which measure the incapacitating effects of fire effluents, the general principles apply.
