Passive Fire Systems Standards

These are the Passive Fire Systems Standards

Passive fire protection systems have been developed not only to resist ignition but also to help prevent the spread of flames.

The Passive Fire Systems set includes guidance and testing methods for building materials, smoke doors and ventilation systems.

Available in the Passive Fire Systems set.

Name	Publisher
AS 1530.1-1994 Methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 1: Combustibility test for materials	Current Standards Australia	Sets out a test method for determining the combustibility of building materials and is one of a series of test methods for evaluating the potential fire hazard of building products.
AS 1530.2-1993 Methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 2: Test for flammability of materials	Current Standards Australia
AS 1530.4:2014 Methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 4: Fire-resistance tests for elements of construction	Current Standards Australia	Sets out test procedures and criteria for the determination of fire-resistance of elements of building construction.
AS 1905.1:2015 Components for the protection of openings in fire-resistant walls, Part 1: Fire-resistant doorsets	Current Standards Australia	Sets out requirements for the construction and installation of fire-resistant doorsets that are used to protect openings in walls, and for partitions that are required to resist the passage of fire.
AS 1905.2-2005 Components for the protection of openings in fire-resistant walls, Part 2: Fire-resistant roller shutters	Current Standards Australia	Specifies requirements for design, construction and installation of vertically operating roller shutters intended to protect trafficable openings in fire-rated walls; compliance is based on prototype testing in accordance with AS 1530.4; labelling requirements are included.
AS 5113:2016 Classification of external walls of buildings based on reaction-to-fire performance	Current Standards Australia	Sets out the procedures for the assessment and classification of external walls of buildings according to their tendency to spread fire via the building façade.
AS 5637.1:2015 Determination of fire hazard properties, Part 1: Wall and ceiling linings	Current Standards Australia	Sets out procedures for the assessment of internal wall and ceiling linings according to their tendency to ignite; their tendency to release heat once ignition has occurred; their tendency to cause flashover; their tendency to release smoke; and their contribution to fire growth.
AS 2665-2001 Smoke/heat venting systems - Design, installation and commissioning	Current Standards Australia
AS 4072.1-2005 Components for the protection of openings in fire-resistant separating elements, Part 1: Service penetrations and control joints	Current Standards Australia	Specifies requirements for the testing, interpretation of test results, and installation of penetration sealing systems and control joints sealing systems in fire-resistant elements of construction.
AS 1735.11-1986 SAA Lift Code, Part 11: Fire-rated landing doors	Current Standards Australia	Sets out requirements for fire-rated landing doors for retarding the passage of fire through openings in fire-rated liftwells; it applies where doors are required to have a fire-rating certificate.
AS/NZS 3837:1998 Method of test for heat and smoke release rates for materials and products using an oxygen consumption calorimeter	Current Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand	Sets out a test method for the determination of ignitability, heat release rates, mass loss rates, effective heat of combustion and smoke release of materials and products when exposed to controlled levels of radiant heating.
AS/NZS 1530.3:1999 Methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 3: Simultaneous determination of ignitability, flame propagation, heat release and smoke release	Current Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand	Describes a single test method for grading building materials on the basis of ignition tendency, flame spread, heat development and tendency to produce smoke.
