N2  - While installing a standard fire test furnace of building elements in a laboratory, the planner should not only be concerned with ensuring sufficient room for accommodation, but also with the safety of working personnel and the laboratory itself which will be threatened by the thermal radiant heat from the furnace during an uninsulation fire test. With the results of a standard fire test (test subject area of 3 m X 3 m) and some simple evaluation formulas, this research has analyzed the relation between the distance and the thermal radiant heat under different fire test times, which can be used as reference by laboratories planning to set up a furnace and accompanying safety management. According to the study, there shall be no combustible materials 5.6 m in front of the furnace, and working personnel should stay at least 14.1 m away from the front side of the furnace to avoid damage to the skin.     <p>Language: en</p>
