Draft Designation: DR 92205Reconfirmed by: AS 1530.1-1994 Rec:2016 Methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 1: Combustibility test for materials
This fire test was developed for use by those responsible for selection of construction materials which, although not completely inert, produce only a limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750 degrees Celsius. This revision aligns the test method more closely with ISO 1182:1990 but specifies combustibility criteria necessary for regulatory purposes.
