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.

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

AS 3786:2022 adopts and modifies ISO 12239:2021 for Australia which specifies requirements, test methods, performance criteria, and manufacturer’s instructions for smoke alarms that operate using scattered light, transmitted light, or ionization, and are intended for household or similar residential applications.

The objective of AS/NZS 3820:2020 is to provide a set of criteria for the safety of electrical equipment before being placed on the market. For electrical equipment that is required to be approved/certified/registered by electrical safety legislation before being placed on the market, there are specific regulatory requirements additional to the requirements given in this Standard.

Specifies essential safety requirements for plugs and socket-outlets intended for use at extra low or low voltages and a rated current not exceeding 32 A for household or similar purposes.

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.

Specifies requirements for a quality management system.

AS 1674.1:2025 specifies requirements for the reduction of fire and explosion risks associated with the performance of welding and other hot work activities in hazardous environments

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.
