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

Applicable to the design, construction, and installation of refrigerating systems, including piping, components, materials, and ancillary equipment directly associated with such systems.

Sets out a hot smoke test methodology by means of which a specified quantity of smoke may be generated, at a safe temperature, within a building.

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.

The 2018 edition of AS 1530.8.1 is amended as follows; the amendments should be inserted in the appropriate places.

Provides a glossary of terms to be used in connection with fire testing; also refers to deprecated terms which should not be used in connection with fire testing.

Specifies the classification of smoke-spill fans, and the laboratory test methods and procedures used to rate their performance (and that of their motors). Fans are rated in terms of their suitability to operate continuously without significant loss of performance, for a specified time at a specified air temperature. This Standard deals only with laboratory type-testing and does not consider the testing of smoke-spill fans after they have been installed in a building.
