5.7 Damage calculations

 After the test, the fire sources should be examined visually to determine compliance with the required maximum damage. The damages should be estimated using the following formula:

  • .1 damage to lower bunk bed = (damage to horizontal mattress (%) + 0.25 x damage to pillow (%) + damage to backrest (%))/2.25;

  • .2 damage to upper bunk bed = (damage to horizontal mattress (%) + 0.25 x damage to pillow (%))/1.25; and

  • .3 if it is not clearly obvious by visual examination whether the criteria are fulfilled or not, the test should be repeated.
