Since 1979, Interflam has brought together engineers, scientists, practitioners and regulators from around the globe to hear the latest state of the art papers with the specific intent to create an interface between the researcher, the fire safety engineer and the designer so that good fire science can be promptly harnessed to provide a safer built environment. As with previous conferences the programme offers participants a friendly and open atmosphere to interact with colleagues from around the world and presents ample opportunity to forge new relationships outside their own industrial or academic network. Keynote papers, parallel and poster sessions, exhibits, a student workshop and the inclusive social programme provide maximum opportunities for networking Over the 3 days there will be 120 oral presentations along with 70 posters. This will be one of the largest technical programmes in the conference's 36 year history. All presentations will be available in the Conference Proceedings.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS INCLUDE Codes and Regulations Composites Detection and Suppression Facades Fire Dynamics Fire Investigation Fire Resistance Fire Risk Flame Retardants and Coatings Fire Safety Engineering Fire Service and Building Fire Safety Fire Testing Furniture Flammability Heat Flux Measurement and Calculations Human Behaviour in Fire Ignition and Extinction Modelling Model Validation Predictions of Soot Generation and Visibility Pyrolysis Modelling Thermal Insulation and Fibres Wildland Fire

LOCATION

The venue for the 14th conference will be at London University's Royal Holloway College. Noted for the Founder's Building, which is modelled on the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, the flamboyant architecture make this one of the most spectacular university buildings in the world. The College was officially opened by Queen Victoria in 1886 and includes the world-famous Picture Gallery housing a unique collection of Victorian paintings and Chapel with its fine reliefs and vaulted plaster ceiling.

The parkland campus, bordering Royal Windsor Great Park, is conveniently situated just 8 miles from Heathrow Airport, 5 mins from the M25 motorway (junc 13) and 35 minutes from London's Waterloo Railway Station. The conference will have exclusive use of the Windsor Lecture Building which offers state of the art meeting facilities. There is ample car parking on campus.

The campus has a convenience store and bank. It is a short walk (5mins) to the village of Englefield Green with its pubs and restaurants and approx 10mins to Egham with it shops, banks, restaurants and the mainline railway station. Famous historic and Royal Windsor is 10 minutes driving by car or bus.

Update your knowledge on the Principles of Electrical Fires

Thursday 7th July, Royal Holloway College

Fires originating from electrical causes are specialized and require specialized investigation skills. If the personnel involved are not sufficiently knowledgeable on electrical fires, such incidents are likely to be misidentified or miscategorized. This is a rapidly evolving field, thus it is important for practitioners to get the benefit on the latest problems, issues, findings, and research results. The course will include recent changes in the NFPA 921 Guide affecting electrical fire investigation.

The most significant changes have been with regards to metallurgical identification, where usable laboratory techniques are now offered for differentiating arc-melting from fire-melting damages. The course will also cover diverse recent research findings in the electrical area, along with safety issues arising from new technologies such as ‗smart meters‘ and CSST. Investigation of fires involving dielectric breakdown of insulation will also be covered—a topic which is now being better understood due to recent research. Individuals in certain countries may have seen numerous studies presented in recent years claiming that metallurgical laboratory methods have been developed for distinguishing between ‗cause‘ and ‗victim‘ arc beads. In fact, these concepts are an example of what is sometimes referred to as ―junk science,‖ and the course will discuss the lack of sound science basis of such schemes.

Numerous delegates will have attended the Principles of Electrical Fires course given in previous years at Interflam. The new course takes up where the previous course left off. However, some background material will be offered so that the course will be suitable both for delegates who attended previous Principles of Electrical Fires courses, and those who have not. Extensive handouts will be provided covering various topics of the course.

Registration fee £385 + VAT. Interflam 2016 registered delegates are eligible for a discounted fee of £350 + VAT

Register via the Interflam website

Dr. Vyto Babrauskas, in association with Interflam 2016, will offer a new course to update participants on important information in the field of electrical fires.
