Objective The aim of the project was to establish agreed criteria and test procedures for the fire testing of large items of non-metallic materials in three existing fire galleries: that of British Coal, at their Yorkshire Research Laboratories (YRL), the Buxton gallery of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the German fire gallery at the Tremonia experimental mine. The project set out to obtain three-dimensional temperature data for the fire galleries in order to seek confirmation of the temperature stratification phenomenon and to provide a data bank which would assist theoretical and practical studies. The work described in ECSC Research Project No 7255-10/058/08, which sought to establish conditions under which each of these three fire galleries could produce similar fire regimes, was used as a starting point.
