[Current]Methods for fire tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 1: Combustibility test for materials (ISO 1182:2020, NEQ)
AS 1530.1:2024 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
