Comprehensive Fire Resistance Testing

Fire resistance tests determine the likely behaviour of an element of construction when subjected to a fully developed fire. Our advanced laboratory has the capability to test both vertical and horizontal constructions to prove fire resistance performance. Our service offering covers a wide range of Australian and International standards including Australian Standard (AS), British Standard (BS), European Standard (EN), International Marine Organization (IMO), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

AS 1530.4 Fire-Resistance Tests for Elements of Construction
AS 1530.4 specifies the methods for evaluating the fire resistance of construction elements under standardised fire conditions. We provide comprehensive testing services compliant with this standard, guaranteeing reliable performance across a broad spectrum of building materials and systems. Our AS 1530.4 testing services include:

Columns, beams, girders and trusses
Fire dampers, air ducts and air transfer grilles in ducts
Floors, roofs and ceilings
Glazed systems
Service penetrations and control joints
Structural steelwork protection
Timber and steel fire-resistant door sets and shutter systems
Walls and partitions

AS 1530.7 Leakage Testing
AS 1530.7 defines the procedures for ambient and medium temperature leakage testing, providing a standardised method to measure the passage of smoke from one side of an assembly to the other. This test is essential for evaluating the performance of various assemblies in controlling smoke leakage under specific conditions.
We specialise in AS 1530.7 testing for:

Doors
Dampers
Walls

AS/NZS 3013 Electrical Installations
AS/NZS 3013 establishes a classification system for wiring installations based on their resistance to fire and mechanical damage. The standard outlines type tests to verify the level of protection provided by different wiring systems. It is referenced in other standards that require wiring systems to demonstrate a specified degree of resistance to fire and mechanical impacts. We can test power cables, communication cables, junction boxes, cable tray and ladder support systems to AS/NZS 3013.

Our testing capabilities to AS/NZS 3013 include:

Appendix A: Fire test method – cables and busways
Appendix B: Water test method – cables and busways
Appendix C: Supports and fixings
Appendix D: Mechanical test method – impact test
Appendix E: Mechanical test method – cutting test

AS 1530.8.1 and AS 1530.8.2 Bushfire Simulated Testing
AS 1530.8.1 evaluates the performance of building elements when exposed to simulated bushfire conditions, including radiant heat, embers, and debris. AS 1530.8.2 extends this testing to include exposure to large flaming sources, simulating more intense bushfire scenarios. These tests are critical for assessing the fire resistance and resilience of external construction elements in bushfire-prone areas. You can view our full capability for Bushfire Testing via our dedicated page here.

IMO Resolution MSC 307 (88)－2010 FTP Code Marine Testing

The IMO Resolution MSC 307 (88)－2010FTP Code outlines testing procedures to assess the smoke generation and toxic potency of materials used in maritime construction. This ensures products meet safety standards for use on ships and other marine structures.

Our testing capabilities under the IMO Resolution MSC 307 (88)－2010 FTP Code include:

Loadbearing and non-loadbearing bulkheads
Loadbearing and non-loadbearing decks
