Manikin Flash Fire Evaluation System for material thermal protection

该项目旨在在澳大利亚建立第一个国家级基于假人的闪火评估研究设施，以开发用于评估人体与闪火之间的真实的环境火灾燃烧现象的协议。该设施将通过建立一个系统，对防护服和相关材料的热防护性能进行精确、灵敏和高度客观的评估，支持研究人员对材料热防护性能进行评估的各种需求。这些知识将有助于为功能性防火纺织品和设备、下一代复合材料和阻燃建筑材料制定新的质量标准和政策，这些材料对澳大利亚工作场所和更广泛社区的安全至关重要。

This project aims to establish the first national Manikin Based Flash Fire Evaluation Research Facility in Australia to develop protocols for assessing real environment fire burning phenomena between the human body and flash fires. This facility will support the diverse needs of researchers working on the assessment of material thermal protection performance, by establishing a system for precise, responsive and highly objective assessment of the thermal protection performance of protective garments and related materials. This knowledge will assist in the development of new quality standards and policies for functional fire protective textiles and equipment, next-generation composites and fire retardant building materials critical for the safety of the Australian workplace and the broader community.
