UL’s 4th Annual European Fire Forum
Vienna, Austria – April 26/27, 2016
This is UL’s 4th year of hosting this educational event. This year we will visit the charming city of Vienna, Austria. Once again, UL will bring together experts from around Europe and the U.S. to explore current and future issues of impact to all of us involved in building and fire safety.
The forum will include two days of educational presentations followed by panel discussions, with plenty of time for questions and dialogue. Two special themes will be covered:
1. We will revisit the three main aspects of building and occupancy safety:
- Alarms
- Suppression
- Compartmentation
2. Building protection systems:
Should owners specify a higher level of safety than minimum construction codes?
Join us to review and discuss the US and European views and approaches on following topics and many more:
- Disaster management / community risk assessments
- Sprinkler testing and installation requirements
- Tall wood buildings and testing of wood
- Testing and regulation relating to fire walls
- Fire alarm systems and fire detection devises
