An extensive and urgent need of useful engineering data dealing with the fire hazard of chemicals was recognised in Europe in the mid 70's. This concern has increased even more in the 80's with the implementation of reinforced legislation in the field of industrial risks -enhanced by the so-called "Seveso Directive" 82/501/EEC and its amendments and because some real case accidents have affected the Environment dramatically2-3.
