Person-equivalent flames are used to test the performance of ventilation taking account of human occupancy. The resulting carbon dioxide concentration is measured. Standardised bottle gas burners were found to be the most suitable gas sources. Candles were also examined and standardised for thepurpose. Possible risks are also discussed.
