This document specifies a methodology for the design of experiments carried out in the built environment to collect evacuation data for the following purposes: — for use in fire safety engineering; — to compare different evacuation experiences carried out in different jurisdictions and conditions; — to study one or more variables; — to obtain an overview of an evacuation or to test one or more parameters; — to design security procedures and training; — to evaluate one or more evacuation plans; — to reduce the uncertainty of results; — to verify the relevance of preventive measures implemented before and after the design of a building; — to refine software input parameters and make them more realistic; — to compare the results obtained with different software; — to verify and validate evacuation models (e.g. ISO 16730-1). This document provides recommendations in several main areas: initial planning, preparation, the actual evacuation experience, coding of collected data, analysis and interpretation of data, and documentation of results. This document outlines the considerations for an evacuation experience, including space geometry, lighting and environmental conditions, occupant characteristics, signals or alarms used, equipment and considerations. of security. It covers performance measurements of the evacuation experiment. The results of an experiment depend on all these factors and their possible interactions. This document does not define a standard evacuation experience.
