490			_aBRE Digest _v490
520			_aThis digest forms part of a suite of related documents containing guidance for the construction industry on structural fire engineering design (see also BRE Digests 484, 485, 487 and 488). Each digest may be used in isolation or as part of the full suite. Digest 490 examines life safety implications for structural fire engineering design. Covers: minimum requirements; prescriptive and performance based design; methods for ensuring fire safety; occupancy types and design behavioural scenarios; pre-movement time distributions and travel times to escape routes; and issues relating to the size and complexity of the building (ie simple single storey buildings compared to multi-compartment buildings).
