Abstract

In the comprehensive EC-sponsored initiative, CBUF (combustion behaviour of upholstered furniture), three models were developed for furniture fire prediction. The second of these models, CBUF model II, is based on an area convolution technique with expressions of burning area over time determined for furniture types. In this paper, the CBUF model II was applied to a set of exemplary New Zealand (NZ) upholstered furniture items. CBUF Model II was not found to predict with goodness the combustion behaviour of the NZ upholstered furniture.
