Scope

This document presents a brief summary of the fundamental requirements and methods for data collection concerning large-scale outdoor fires at the levels of national policy, administrative regulations, and technical standards, covering Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, urban fires (including post-earthquake urban fires), and fires in informal settlements. Standards and studies around the world are to be consolidated into a standardized approach and an international ISO standard.

This document establishes the standardized methodology for post-fire data collection to evaluate fire spread path, damage extent, and damage mechanisms following a large outdoor fire event. These also include data collection on human losses and property loss values. The standard does not address large-scale industrial fires.

Applicable fire types include:

a) Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires

b) Urban fires, including post-earthquake urban fires

c) Informal settlement fires

d) Other large outdoor fires

This document defines the subject of data collection, essential data elements, collection procedures, and quality control. It does not prescribe methods for fire prevention, suppression operations, or recovery procedures themselves.
