SUMMARY 
The test results in accordance with AS 1530.4:2014, “Methods for fire tests on building 
materials, components and structures – Part 4: Fire – resistance test for elements of 
construction” was as follows:  
 
 
Integrity 
 
 
122 minutes No Failure 
 
 
 
 
Insulation 
 
 
72 minutes 
 
 
 
 
The tested specimen is deemed to have achieved an FRL of -/120/60 
The test standard requires the following statements to be included: 
"The results of these fire tests may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it should be 
recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment of fire hazard under all 
fire conditions.” 
"This report details methods of construction, the test conditions and results obtained when the 
specific element of construction described herein was tested following the procedure outlined 
in this standard. Any significant variations with respect to size, constructional details, loads, 
stresses, edge or end conditions, other than those allowed under the field of direct application 
in the relevant test method, is not covered by this report.” 
“Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in quantifying 
the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to provide a stated degree 
of accuracy of the result.” 
5. 
PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS 
The results of the fire test contained in the test report are directly applicable, without reference 
to the testing authority, to similar constructions where one or more of the following changes 
have been made, provided no individual component is removed or reduced: 
(a) Increase in the length of a wall of identical construction if the specimen was tested with 
one vertical edge unrestrained. 
(b) Increase in thickness of the wall.
