Pyrology Codex
Fire safety knowledge, structured for design and judgement.
A developing reference for fire safety design, fire engineering principles and practical professional judgement, written from the perspective of practice.
Why the Codex existsFire safety is not a single checklist. It is a set of connected principles involving people, buildings, systems, materials, management and emergency response.
The Pyrology Codex is a developing reference for those principles. It is written from practice, for designers, engineers, clients, risk assessors and building safety professionals who need to understand not just what guidance says, but why it matters.
Fire safety is often misunderstood because its principles sit between disciplines: architecture, structure, building services, regulation, management and construction. The Pyrology Codex is intended to bring those principles together in a structured, accessible form.
It is not a substitute for project-specific advice, regulation or standards. It is a professional reference for better questions, clearer assumptions and more informed decisions.
The Pyrology Codex is provided for general professional information and education. It does not constitute project-specific fire engineering advice, legal advice, or approval of any design or building. Project-specific advice should be obtained from a competent professional.
The Pyrology Codex is published by Pyrology Limited. Independent fire safety, fire engineering and risk consultancy.
