The AS 1530 test standard provides methods for determining the performance of exterior structural members when exposed to radiant heat, embers, and debris burning. The methods do not simulate the engulfment of flames from the fire front or large burning items such as other burning buildings or adjacent isolated trees and shrubs.
The highest level of radiant heat exposure depends on the distance of the building from the potential fire front, the fire severity and the size of the shield. The peak level may be based on analysis of a particular site from first principles or classification of the site in accordance with simple methods outlined in AS 3959.
The results of fire tests can be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it must be recognized that no single test method will provide a complete assessment of fire hazard in all fire conditions.
These fire tests provide data on the performance of a particular element and building system and do not provide an overall assessment of the performance of a particular type of material.
