This paper presents a proposal for development of a unified international standard that covers both prescriptive and performance-based fire safety. Presently, most countries have a prescriptive framework for the requirements for fire safety. Countries that have developed a Performance-Based Code (PBC) for fire safety, e.g. New Zealand, still had to maintain many prescriptive requirements that cannot be replaced using performance-based approaches. Several countries now allow the use of performance-based fire safety design within the framework of its prescriptive fire safety requirements, but in many cases demonstrating the equivalence of the performance-based design with the prescriptive requirements is difficult. A framework and methodology for a unified approach to fire safety requirements, that will allow the use of both sets of requirements in a fire safety program, including an exchange of one set with the other, does not exist at the present. This has been identified as a gap for the use of more modern fire safety design methods.

A unified framework for fire safety regulation - Monideep Dey, PhD, President...Dr. Monideep Dey
This paper presents the general principles and outline of a framework for fire safety regulation that covers both prescriptive and performance-based fire safety. The immediate benefit of this framework is to allow development of a systematic top-down or global approach to fire safety, as opposed to piecemeal, that can be used to develop schemes for use with existing ISO conformity assessment standards. The framework can also eventually be used to make improvements to fire codes to unify prescriptive and performance-based requirements.

This paper proposes development of an ISO scheme that could be used either as a review guide or for the certification of a performance-based fire safety design in accordance with ISO 23932 – Fire Safety Engineering: General Principles . Deytec, Inc., a company member of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), plans to propose the development of this ISO scheme to the ANSI International Conformity Assessment Committee (ICAC) which is the U.S. interface to the ISO Council Committee on Conformity Assessment (ISO CASCO). ISO CASCO writes standards and guides for the effective operation of conformity assessment bodies and activities. The purpose of the proposed scheme is to address present issues faced by national authorities and applicants in the review and approval of performance-based fire safety designs.

CMMC 2.0 vs. ISO/IEC 27001 vs. NIST 800-171: What You Need to KnowPECB
The CMMC, NIST 800-171, and ISO/IEC 27001 frameworks include the application of a structured approach to cybersecurity and a formal risk assessment process, and the implementation of customized security controls. However, each of them has a distinct scope.
The webinar covers
• US legislative overview, impacts and update in NIST adoption
• Weaving together NIST PF and NIST 800-171
• Quick definitions for CMMC / 27001 / 800-171
• Common scope elements between CMMC / 27001 / 800-171
• Differences in scope between CMMC / 27001 / 800-171
• When to implement each of the three
• How these three can support each other
• The link between these three and cyber insurance

Experiences evaluating cloud services and productsJavier Tallón
The market for IT products is constantly evolving. More and more vendors are developing products and services deployed only in the cloud (Cloud Native). This implies a paradigm shift in the way assessments are carried out, in the methodology to be followed and in the tests to be performed.
Today, it is NOT possible to use Common Criteria to evaluate cloud services, despite many administrations are migrating to cloud solutions.
This talk will not talk about Cloud programs such as FedRamp, ENS, C5, SecNumCloud or ENISA EUCS scheme. All these schemes, evaluate the clod infrastructure and the controls specified in the respective standards.
But in those standards, we cannot find assurance requirements related to the product/service itself. e.g. If your WAF (Web Application Firewall) is cloud native and deployed in the cloud, you could obtain those cloud certifications but it would be NOT possible to obtain a CC certification using NIAP PPs.
To solve this problematic, a practical approach has been followed in Spain, evaluating the cloud services using the LINCE methodology but obtaining a qualification mark (instead of a certification). Several vendors such as AWS, Google or Microsoft have already undergone this kind of processes.
In this talk, we want to show jtsec’s hands-on experience evaluating cloud services and discuss the main issues that have been faced and the solutions that have been found (TOE definition, Test environment, TOE identification, permission to test, etc…).
We would like also to discuss how the experience obtained using the LINCE methodology could be extrapolated (or NOT) to the CC World.
Goal: SAFEPOWER has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 687902.
SAFEPOWER’s goal is to enable the development of low power mixed-criticality systems through the provision of a reference architecture, platforms and tools to facilitate the development, testing, and validation of these kinds of systems according to the market needs
It is expected that the SAFEPOWER reference architecture and platforms will enable the integration and partitioning of mixed-criticality applications on a single device while reducing the total power consumption by 50%, compared to the non-integrated multi-chip implementation. To address this goal, SAFEPOWER needs to address a number of technology development challenges, that will afterwards be applied to the main project outputs, namely the SAFEPOWER low power reference architecture, the platforms and tools for the development, testing, and validation of low power mixed criticality systems.

Digital and Green Transformation for Developing Economies.docxDr. Monideep Dey
Recently, several international development organizations and civil society have focused their efforts to assist developing economies in a green and digital transformation. A green transformation is necessary to address Climate Action (SDG 13). Digital transformation has been identified as key to development and to addresses several SDGs. Sustainability concepts are to be a fundamental part of the digital transformation. It is recognized that it is essential to ensure the new technologies in the digital, biological and physical worlds are adopted to remain human-centered and serve society and the planet as a whole for the prosperity of all. Society can thus promote economic development and solve social problems simultaneously. This paper discusses the elements of a green and digital transformation, initiatives currently underway by international development organizations, civil society and developing economies, and progress to date toward the common goals established in the SDGs.
Nuclear safety regulation and building fire codes require that fire safety devices such as sprinklers and fire barriers be certified for performance by independent laboratories in accordance with ISO standards. The number and location of the devices are generally prescribed in the regulation or fire code. Presently fire safety engineering (FSE) is used to specify or replace the devices required in the regulation. This FSE process should also be certified by an independent and impartial body since it is used to substitute requirements in regulation.

Consideration of Conformity Assessment for the Circular Economy.pdfDr. Monideep Dey
The post-COVID recovery offers an opportunity to reverse unsustainable economic trends and build back better, to promote sustainable consumption and production as laid out in SDG 12 and transition to a circular, more resilient and low-carbon economy. Nations are developing a circular economy in the context of the Paris Agreement, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Call for Action on Adaption and Resilience. ISO, UNECE and other international standards organizations are developing a number of standards that are essential in supporting the climate agenda; they help adapt to climate change, quantify greenhouse gas emissions and promote the dissemination of good practices in environmental management.
A critical element to ensure the achievement of sustainable develop goals is the assessment of conformity and accountability that such goals are being achieved and in a manner consistent with all the SDGs. Although this document reports specifically on conformity assessment for the Circular Economy that is aimed to serve UN SDG12 – Responsible consumption and production, and also UN SDG-13, Climate action, many concepts and methods discussed here will be applicable more broadly in the implementation of all SDGs.
International Standards also play a crucial role in underpinning the global economy, and creating trust on all aspects of international trade. In the past, advanced economies have been the main participants in the development of international standards with participants from the transition and developing economies only playing a minor role. This paper emphasizes that issues important to developing and transition economies such as those for social and environmental concerns should be addressed in international standards for them to have broad benefit across all nations and to achieve the SDGs worldwide.

Lessons Learned in ICFMP Project for Verification and Validation of Computer ...Dr. Monideep Dey
This report presents a synthesis of the technical and programmatic “lessons learned” in the International collaborative Fire Model Project (ICFMP) that was conducted from 1999 to 2008. A synthesis of ICFMP results has been conducted as a project of Deytec, Inc. to benefit public safety and the scientific community. The verification and validation
(V&V) process in the ICFMP project was developed to examine the capabilities and limitations of fire models for nuclear plant fire safety and risk analysis, and to determine the predictive errors of the models. Although current models can reliably predict global parameters in nuclear plant compartment fires such as hot gas temperature and interface height, they are limited and need to be improved for predicting important parameters like the heat flux to cable targets. The development of V&V process provided experience in the conduct of blind exercises; however, it was not possible to determine the true
predictive errors of the models due to issues related to model input data and procedures for blind exercises. These issues could be addressed and the V&V process can be improved. The experience in the ICFMP has formed the basis of a V&V process for the evaluation of fire models for nuclear plant applications.

Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Summary
This paper presents a proposal for a New Work Item in ISO TC 92 SC 4 WG 1, “Application of fire
safety performance concepts to design objectives.” The proposal is to develop a unified
international standard that covers both prescriptive and performance-based fire safety.
Background
Presently, most countries have a prescriptive framework for the requirements for fire safety.
Countries that have developed a Performance-Based Code (PBC) for fire safety, e.g. New
Zealand, still had to maintain many prescriptive requirements that cannot be replaced using
performance-based approaches.
Several countries now allow the use of performance-based fire safety design within the
framework of its prescriptive fire safety requirements, but in many cases demonstrating the
equivalence of the performance-based design with the prescriptive requirements is difficult. A
framework and methodology for a unified approach to fire safety requirements, that will allow
the use of both sets of requirements in a fire safety program, including an exchange of one set
with the other, does not exist at the present. This has been identified as a gap for the use of
more modern fire safety design methods.
Proposal
This paper proposes a framework and methodology for a unified approach to fire safety
requirements that will allow the use of both set of requirements, prescriptive and performance-
based, in a fire safety program. This will result in an efficient and acceptable exchange of one
set of requirements with the other. It is proposed that such a framework be established in an
international standard that covers both prescriptive and performance-based fire safety. The
goal is for this standard to be written such that it can be adopted by most countries as the
framework for fire safety while maintaining its prescriptive requirements. The use of
performance-based design methods within the prescriptive framework for a new or existing
built environment can then be made based on this international standard.
Proposed framework for the international standard
This section proposes the structure of the international standard to accomplish the objectives
of the standard as set forth above.
Fire phenomena can be grouped according to the phenomenology of fire growth and transport
in the following functional groups identified in the initial technical reports1 on fire safety
engineering published by ISO that outlined the global approach to fire safety:
Initiation and development of fire and fire effluent
Movement of fire effluent
Structural response and fire spread beyond enclosure of origin
Detection activation and suppression
1 ISO/TR 13387 series of documents in 8 parts (presently withdrawn by ISO).

Other frameworks proposed in the past2 that promote a global and risk approach, as opposed
to piecemeal, will be reviewed for use in development of the standard. Attachment A shows a
matrix for fire safety requirements and FSE by Takeyoshi Tanaka, JAPAN that could also be used
to establish the framework for a unified approach to fire safety regulation. The matrix could
then be used to determine the gaps and need for international standards to support fire safety
regulation.
Performance-based design and prescriptive requirements both address safety objectives and
functional requirements for the above phenomena. Performance-based design and standards
explicitly address these phenomena and functional groups, whereas prescriptive requirements
in national building codes address the phenomena implicitly through prescriptive test
standards. The implicit consideration is done through expert engineering judgement in the
standard development process. Attachment B is an example of the prescriptive requirements
in a national building code, the USA. The attachment discusses how such a prescriptive set of
requirements can be grouped along the above functional groups.
The international standard will be written to allow the existing prescriptive requirements in a
national building code to be grouped in accordance with the above framework established in
the standard. The international standard will also include the method for using performance-
based design approaches within this framework, including specifics of the methods and criteria
needed to demonstrate the equivalency between the prescriptive and performance-based
designs.
Conclusion and Benefits
This international standard will be useful to national regulatory bodies since it will provide a
methodic means to allow modern fire safety design methods to be used within its prescriptive
fire safety codes, with other supporting international standards. This international standard
will result in the greater use of modern fire safety design methods, and more uniform and
superior fire safety worldwide. Builders and owners of the built environment will see benefits
from the assurance they will have that their innovative fire programs designed in accordance
with the international standard, for existing and new buildings, will be approved by the
authorities.

Review of the regulatory framework
of fire safety requirements in the USA
Introduction
Fire safety requirements for the built environment in the USA are established mainly in the International Building Code (IBC),
developed by the International Code Council (ICC). The IBC serves as a model building code that state and regional building
authorities codify, as is or in modified form, in the building codes. The International Existing Building Code (IEBC) and the
International Residential Code (IRC) also specify fire safety requirements for specific applications. The International Fire Code (IFC)
and the International Mechanical Code (IMC) also specify requirements for fire safety, many of which duplicate the requirements in
the IBC.
Discussion
The requirements in the IBC, IFC, and IMC are all prescriptive in nature. The ICC has also developed a performance code (ICCPC).
The ICCPC requires the establishment of safety objectives, functional requirements, and performance criteria for each category of
prescriptive requirements in the IBC. However, the connection from the ICCPC to the prescriptive requirements is by Chapters in the
IBC, and not through an approach based on the phenomenology of fires as described in the main text and used in a performance-
based approach. This has limited the practicality of the ICCPC and its use in the USA.
The prescriptive requirements in the IBC can however be group in accordance to the phenomenology of fires as will be established in
the proposed international standard.
The testing requirements for fire safety in the IBC3 are mainly in the following Chapters:
Chapter 7: Fire and Smoke Protection Features
Chapter 8: Interior Finishes
Chapter 14: Exterior Walls
3 All references areto the 2009 edition of the IBC.
8. 7
Deytec, Inc. Copyright2017
Chapter 15: Roofs Assemblies and Roof Top Structures
Chapter 26: Plastic
The fire tests required in the IBC may be grouped in the following functional categories4:
1. Fire resistance – to safeguard against the spread of fire and smoke within a building and the spread of fire to or from
buildings - Movement of fire effluent
a) ASTM E119/UL 263: walls, floors, ceilings, columns
b) ASTM E814/UL 1479 – through penetrations
c) UL 10B, 10C, 555 – opening protectives and dampers
2. Flame spread – propagation of flame over a surface - Initiation and development of fire and fire effluent
a) ASTM E84/UL 723
b) NFPA 286 - room corner test
c) NFPA 285 - vertical flame spread
d) ASTM E108/UL 790 – roofing
3. Radiant panel - Initiation and development of fire and fire effluent
a) NFPA 268 – Ignition properties
b) ASTM E970 – Ignition properties (attic floors)
4. Small-scale material properties - Initiation and development of fire and fire effluent
a) ASTM E136 – non-combustibility
b) NFPA 259 – potential heat
c) ASTM E1354 – cone calorimeter
The above provides an example of how prescriptive testing standards can be grouped and included in the same framework used for
performance-based designs. The proposed international standard, which will specify how these groups can be constructed, may be
adopted in a revision of the national fire safety regulation.

prescriptive requirements in a typical building code. This complexity makes it difficult to demonstrate equivalency between
prescriptive and performance-based requirements, unless the prescriptive requirements are grouped in the same structure used in a
performance-based approach.
The IBC addresses structural strength, means of egress, sanitation, adequate lighting and ventilation, accessibility, energy
conservation and life safety in regards to new and existing buildings, facilities and systems.

The IFC addresses fire prevention, fire protection including for fire services and response, life safety, and safe storage and use of
hazardous materials:
• Emergency planning and preparedness
• Fire service features
• Building services and systems
• Fire-resistant-rated construction
• Interior finish, decorative materials, and furnishings
• Fire protection systems
• Means of egress
• Handling of variety of hazardous materials
The IBC requirements for high hazard, fire-resistance-rated construction, interior finish, fire protection systems, means of egress,
emergency and standby power, and temporary structures are directly correlated with the requirements of the IFC. The following
chapters/sections of the IBC are correlated to the IFC.
IBC Chapter/Section IFC Chapter/Section Subject
Sections 307,414,415 Chapters 27-44 High-hazard requirements
Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Fire-resistance-rated construction
Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Interior finish, decorative materials

Relationship between IBC and IMC
The IBC requirements for smoke control systems, and smoke and fire dampers are directly correlated to the requirements of the
IMC. IBC Chapter 28 is a reference to the IMC and the IFGC for chimney, fireplaces and barbeques, and all aspects of mechanical
systems.
The following chapters/sections of the IBC are correlated with the IMC.
IBCChapter/Section IMC Chapter/Section Subject
Section 716 Section 607 Smoke and fire dampers
Section 909 Section 513 Smoke control
Content of ICCPC
The ICCPC is intended to provide a performance-based framework to building design. It contains requirements to establish:
1. Objectives. The objectives define what is expected in terms of societal goals orwhat society "demands” from buildings and
facilities. Objectives are topic-specific and deal with particular aspects of performance required in a building, such as
safeguarding people during escape and rescue.
2. Functional Statements. The functional statement explains, in general terms, the function that a building must provide to
meet the objective or what "supply” must be provided to meet the "demand.” For example, a building must be constructed
to allow people adequate time to reach a place of safety without exposure to untenable conditions.
3. Performance Requirement. Performance requirements are detailed statements that break down the functional statements
into measurable terms. This is where the link is made to the acceptable methods.
The requirements to establish objectives, functional statements, and performance requirements are for each topic in a chapter and
section of the IBC, and not in a hierarchical manner used in a typical performance-based approach.
Equivalent materials and Methods
The IBC does allow the use of equivalent materials and methods as follows, however, guidance on how equivalence can be
established is presently absent in the fire safety industry.
