 Germany uses the following information on EFs:  It can be derived from the given information and references on building fires that EFs are given for full-scale fires [(See IIR of Denmark and of Norway)]. We have no country specific information, but the other appoaches seem to be suitable for our situation, too. Germany uses the following information on EFs:  It can be derived from the given information and references on building fires that EFs are given for full-scale fires [(See IIR of Denmark and of Norway)].

 For verification purposes, a consultant has checked the Informative Inventory Reports (IIRs) of other countries. In the IIRs of Denmark and Iceland it is additionally stated that the emission factors refer to so-called "full-scale fires" and therefore the activity data (i.e. the number of fires) must be converted to so-called full-scale equivalent fires. For verification purposes, a consultant has checked the Informative Inventory Reports (IIRs) of other countries.
