Evaluation of measurement uncertainty in SBI – Single Burning Item reaction to fire test:

This example illustrates the application of the Monte Carlo Method (MCM) in measurement uncertainty propagation related to the SBI – Single Burning Item test, within the European normative framework of reaction to fire tests for building products, namely, the EN standard 13823:2010+A1. The use of the MCM is justified by the multivariate, non-linear and complex nature of the functional relations between a large number of input, intermediate and output quantities, thus providing a numerical approach to the validation of the GUM method.
