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.
