What is the AS1530.4-2014 test for Fireshutters?
CSIRO Australia operate the most comprehensive fire research, consulting and testing facility in Australia, which combines our expertise and full-scale fire testing equipment to simulate a wide range of fire scenarios.
CSIRO undertake a wide range of tests for industry based on Australian, international and many other standards, as our facilities are registered by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).
We can also assist you with interpreting results, assess conformity with specification, assist with research and development, and provide guidance on construction in bushfire-prone areas.
The range of tests includes:
fire resistance of walls, floors, doors, dampers, shutters, ducts, columns, roofs, ceilings, penetration seals, windows and glazing, and other elements of construction
fire testing of concrete tunnel linings
spread of flame tests on building materials and textiles/furnishings
smoke developed or emitted tests on building materials
combustibility of building materials
air leakage of smoke doors and dampers
rate of heat release
some sections of the International maritime organisation (IMO) code for the application of fire test procedures.
Fire-rated shutters are specifically designed to meet the standards of the fire safety codes in your region. They are usually made of stainless steel material and must pass rigorous tests to ensure they will provide the required protection in the event of a fire.
Fire-rated shutters are typically used as they provide extra protection for larger spaces. They are also useful in residential settings, as they can provide an extra layer of protection for family members.
Are you planning your renovation and need to speak to one of our experts regarding Fire-Rated Boundary Shutter requirements?
