ISO 24678-6:2016 provides requirements to govern the application of explicit algebraic formula sets to the calculation of flashover-related phenomena.

It is an implementation of the general requirements provided in ISO 16730‑1 for the case of fire dynamics calculations involving sets of explicit algebraic formulae.

ISO 24678-6:2016 is arranged in the form of a template, where specific information relevant to algebraic flashover formulae are provided to satisfy the following types of general requirements:

a) description of physical phenomena addressed by the calculation method;

b) documentation of the calculation procedure and its scientific basis;

c) limitations of the calculation method;

d) input parameters for the calculation method;

e) domain of applicability of the calculation method.
