Fire Load Assessment and Protection Measures in Auto Component Industry

In the last few years auto-components industry has experienced healthy growth. The rapidly globalizing world is opening up newer avenues for the transportation industry, especially while it makes a shift towards electronic, electric, and hybrid cars, which are deemed more safe, efficient, and reliable modes of transportation. The fuels that are prevalent throughout the automotive industry, including Electrical components, petrol, solvents, paints, and engine oils, are highly flammable and present the most immediate and obvious fire hazard on these premises. Availability of fire protection systems is not the only solution for fire until they are adequate. Fire load assessment provides information about fire risk and its control measures. In this dissertation, the systematic method has been adopted for the assessment of fire load which will help us to assess the adequacy of an existing fire protection system for automobile systems. This dissertation enables how fire protection system is correlated with the combustible material & its calorific value. Most of the companies have their own fire protection system but they are really adequate, it really needs to be assessed.
