Abstract. The conceptually different approach to the validation of calculation procedures related to fire modeling is proposed. There are formed suggestions and recommendations on the use of the results of fire research in terms of verifying the reliability and accuracy of existing calculation procedures for predicting fire hazards (OFP). There are discussed the issues of reliability of calculation procedures for forensic fire-technical examination.

There is analyzed the current state of activity related to experimental evidence of suitability and accuracy of existing calculation procedures for fire modeling. There are considered the problems and positive aspects of implementation of the concept of the approach for validation of calculation procedures by means of accumulation of empirical data through the detailed study of the occurred fires.

There are proposed the recommendations for the formation of a methodological concept for validation of the calculation procedure for OFP modeling through the study of fires and ignitions. There is formulated the general approach for using the instrumental-analytical method for determining physical parameters in a fire in real time based on the analysis of various data sets.
