The system’s developer advised that an evaluation of the PCMS was not
appropriate because all specific requirements are identified from the
outset as part of the user’s selection criteria. As such, any evaluation
would be focussing on the effectiveness or the user’s selection criteria
rather than the effectiveness of the PCMS tool itself.

the US Regulatory Agency was reported to accept the use of the
SPONCOM system and has confidence in its application. The
developers of SPONCOM believe that the tool does help to reduce
the risk of spontaneous combustion as it makes users aware of
the risks, although this is not supported by any robust evaluation
evidence. The system is free to use and was rated as ‘high’ for
value for money by its developers. NIOSH state that they would
produce SPONCOM in the same way again, because it has been
based on decades of research. However, the developers agree
that SPONCOM should now be transferred into a Windows format.
