IAFSS was founded with the primary objective of encouraging research into the science of preventing
and mitigating the adverse effects of fires and of providing a forum for presenting the results of such
research. The International Association for Fire Safety Science perceives its role to lie in the scientific
bases for achieving progress in unsolved fire problems. It will seek cooperation with other organizations,
be they concerned with application or with the sciences that are fundamental to our interests in fire. It
will seek to promote high standards, to encourage and stimulate scientists to address fire problems, to
provide the necessary scientific foundations and means to facilitate applications aimed at reducing life
and property loss.
