Aluminium Panel Flammability Testing
Testing the combustibility of a building material to AS 1530.1 is involved and time consuming. Because of this and due to high demand, BCRC has developed a quick and cost effective test method to assess flammability risk of composite façade panels.
The approach is based on chemical and temperature testing and allows BCRC’s materials scientists to determine the flammability risk of the polymer core infill layer of aluminium composite panels. The tested panels are given a flammability rating based on the Insurance Council of Australia classifications in a BCRC test report.
