Fire safety regulation: Prescription, performance, and professionalism [PDF]
Fire Safety Journal, 2016 Abstract Fire safety regulation is changing as adherence to prescriptive requirements is being replaced or complemented by an approach based on performance based design (PBD). However, this shift in regulatory practice raises important issues concerning the ability of regulators to provide competent oversight of fire safety engineering.
