A mixture of gaseous fuels supplied by the local utility was used as a fuel. It was supplied to the compartment through four, room-wide burner pipes with holes on the top surface, approximately 20~cm above the floor. The experiments were conducted in three series, named I, 1 and 2. For each, multiple fires were generated between which changes were made to the ventilation and HRR. The test duration was 5~min with 10~min of cooling between each.

A second set of experiments was performed in this facility by Sun et~al.~\cite{Sun:FAM2024} using a configuration based on the JIS~A~1310 test standard. The fire compartment for this test is 1.35~m by 1.35~m by 1.35~m with a 0.91~m by 0.91~m opening. The 0.6~m by 0.6~m propane burner is flush with the floor at the rear of the compartment with heat release rates of 600~kW, 750~kW, and 900~kW.

Gleb Bytskov at the University of Aalto, Finland, performed numerical simulations of these experiments using FDS as part of his master's thesis~\cite{Bytskov:Thesis}. The grid resolution is 10~cm. The fuel is assumed to be propane with a soot yield of 0.015, CO yield of 0.015, and radiative fraction of 0.20.

The JIS~A~1310 simulations use propane with a radiative fraction of 0.30.
