1.2 
Brief Description of Application 
This fire engineering report is intended to assess the generic application of the DeltaFireXTM Panel Car Port 
System when used as a Class 10a structure (car port) attached or adjacent to a Class 1a building positioned 
within 900 mm of a site boundary pursuant to NCC 2022 Housing Provisions Standard & Volume 2.  
1.3 
Fire Safety Systems 
(A)  Performance solution systems:  
1. 
This performance solution is solely applicable to the DeltaFireXTM car port system which may 
comprise either DeltaTrim-MW or DeltaOrb-MW sandwich panels with a core consisting of 
mineral wool (with a density of 100 kg/m3) - (refer to Section 3 describing the permitted system), 
non-combustible supporting structure and non-combustible plumbing fixtures (gutters and 
downpipes).  
2. 
All components used in the awning construction shall be compliant with Section 3. The 
components shall not be modified except with the written authorisation of the manufacturer and 
SOTERA.  
3. 
The following restrictions apply for the Class 10a awning installation: 
(a) Two or more sides (making up at least one third of the awning perimeter) shall be “open” 
in accordance with NCC 9.2.8(b); that is the roof covering shall be more than 500 mm 
from another building or allotment boundary on at least two sides without enclosing 
these sides with a wall, privacy screen, vehicle access door or the like within 500mm of 
the edge of the roof covering. A boundary along a road or public space such as 
parklands, lakes, rivers and the like (where the construction of buildings is unlikely) may 
be considered open regardless of proximity to the boundary subject to no vertical 
obstruction (wall, privacy screen, vehicle access door or the like) within 500 mm of the 
edge of the roof covering. 
(b) All components used in the awning construction shall be compliant with Section 3. The 
components shall not be modified except with the written authorisation of the 
manufacturer and SOTERA.  
(c) The awning structure shall not provide direct vertical support to any part of the adjacent 
Class 1 building. 
(d) The DeltaFireXTM car port shall consist solely of the following: 
(i) DeltaTrim-MW or DeltaOrb-MW panels 
(ii) Steel fixtures, gutters and the like 
(iii) Steel columns, beams, purlins and the like
