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.

Sets out test procedures and criteria for the determination of fire-resistance of elements of building construction.

Describes a single test method for grading building materials on the basis of ignition tendency, flame spread, heat development and tendency to produce smoke.

Sets out procedures for the selection and installation of glass in buildings, subject to wind loading, human impact, and special applications. Glass strength is specified, based on the tensile stresses on the surface of the glass.

Specifies requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of a system of sutomatic smoke/heat release vents in conjunction with associated smoke reservoirs in buildings.

Specifies site wind speed classes for determining design wind speeds and wind loads for NCC Class 1 and 10 buildings within the geometric limits given in Clause 1.2; the classes are for use in the design of housing and for design, manufacturing and specifying of building products and systems used for housing.

Sets out requirements for materials, construction, installation and glazing for external windows, sliding and swinging glazed doors, including French and bi-fold doors, adjustable louvres, shopfronts and window walls with one-piece framing elements.

Specifies the design requirements for new building work, as required by the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Disability (Access to Premises—Buildings) Standards (Premises Standards), to provide access for people with disabilities.

Specifies requirements for the construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and combinations of the three attack forms.

Specifies a test method for determining the combustibility of building materials and is one of a series of test methods of evaluating the potential fire hazard of building products; the test is for building materials other than coated, faced or laminated materials which, although not completely inert, produce only a limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750 °C.
