Description
This Standard sets out the procedures and criteria for the classification of external walls of buildings according to their tendency to spread fire:
a) via the external wall;
b) between adjacent buildings;
and production of falling debris that could be hazardous to evacuating occupants and fire fighters.
Scope
This Standard is applicable to all external vertical or near vertical surfaces and covers all types of external wall systems, including façades, outer skins, core materials, cavities and attachments.
This Standard does not address the fire resistance and load bearing capacity of external walls, the fire hazard properties of internal surfaces or the impact of combustible construction on the fire severity of a fire occurring within a building.
