This guide provides resources to enforcement officials and others who may have to judge the adequacy of:
- Performance‐based fire protection designs that are prepared to meet performance‐based codes
- Designs that are prepared as equivalencies to prescriptive‐based code requirements
- Designs intended to meet objectives that exceed those contained in a code or standard (e.g., business interruption, protection of contents, etc.)
This guide intends to identify the type of items that an enforcement official should consider when reviewing a performance‐based design.
The following topics are discussed in the guide:
- Roles and responsibilities of design team members
- The review process and review options available to code officials
- Identification of design fire scenarios
- Reviewing design documents
- Change of use/bounding conditions
- Managing changes to the design, and much more.
