TEST SUMMARY 
Objective 
To determine the fire resistance of a nominally 100 mm thick DeltaCool-MW insulated panel 
wall assembly when tested 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.”

Description of Test Specimen 
The test specimen consisted of a wall nominally 3,000 mm high x 3,000 mm wide, formed from 
three, 100 mm thick DeltaCool-MW panels. Two of the panels were full size, 3,000 mm tall by 
1,200 mm wide, the width of the third panel was cut to 590 mm. The panels were installed 
within a concrete lined specimen holder and orientated such that the panel joints were vertical. 
The panels were fixed to the specimen holder on both horizontal edges and one vertical edge 
on both faces of the wall with 50 mm x 50 mm x 1.2 mm thick steel angle.  
Date of Test 
12 September 2018 
Test Results 
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.”
