COMBUSTIBILITY TEST FOR MATERIALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 1530.1-1994 
TRADE NAME: 
Mineral Wool / Rock Wool 
SPONSOR: 
Delta Panels Pty Ltd 
 
731 Boundary Road 
 
RICHLANDS QLD 4077 
 
AUSTRALIA 
DESCRIPTION OF 
TEST SAMPLE: 
The sponsor described the tested specimen as a mineral wool insulation slab comprised of a 
silicate fibres, alkaline oxide, alkali earth oxide, Bakelite synthetic thermosetting resin binder 
and mineral oil. 
 
Nominal thickness: 
50 mm 
 
Nominal density: 
100 kg/m3  
 
Colour: 
brown 
TEST PROCEDURE: 
Five (5) samples were tested in accordance with Australian Standard 1530 Methods for fire 
tests on building materials, components and structures, Part 1- 1994: Combustibility Test for 
Materials. 
An alternative suitable insulating material was used to fill the annular space between the 
furnace tubes, as specified in Clause 4.2 of ISO 1182:2010. 
RESULTS: 
The following calculated results were obtained, refer also to Summary of measurements:

DESIGNATION: 
The material is NOT deemed combustible according to the test criteria specified in Clause 3.4 
of AS 1530.1-1994. 
These test results relate only to the behaviour of the test specimens of the material under the particular conditions of the 
test and they are not intended to be the sole criterion for assessing the potential fire hazard of the material in use.
