This document specifies the principle, apparatus, equipment and materials, tested materials, methods and procedures, and criteria of residual magnetism method in the technical determination methods for electrical fire evidence.
This document is applicable to determination of excessive-current short circuit or lightning strike according to the residual magnetism data obtained from the detection of ferromagnetic metal conductors when no melted marks induced by short circuit or lightning strike are found at the building fire scene during fire accident investigation.
