DeltaDualCore™ Panel Awning Systems Revision 1-12 8 2 Scope and Limitations 2.1 General SOTERA has been engaged to carry out fire engineering assessment of the proposed performance solution for the project: Client: Delta Panels Pty Ltd Project Title: DeltaDualCore™ Panel Awning Systems The following Fire Engineering Assessment has been conducted in order to address issues of variation from the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions of the National Construction Code 2022 Housing Provisions Standard & Volume 2 (ABCB 2022 ); hereafter referred to simply as the NCC. The fire engineering evaluation has been carried out in accordance with the methodologies defined in the International Fire Engineering Guidelines (IFEG 2005). This assessment considers the performance solution to show compliance with the performance requirements of the NCC. The evaluation methodology was based on direct compliance with performance requirements and/or equivalence to the deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the NCC as allowed under Part A2G1. This is supported by qualitative and quantitative evaluation analyses as allowed under Part A2G2 of the NCC. 2.2 Summary of Developments in Fire Engineering Report Rev 1-12: This report has been updated to reflect the new recommended fixing position of the DeltaDualCore panel and better clarify the diredction of the slope of the panel. Figure 3-4 has been updated. Rev 1-11: This report has been updated to reflect the new recommended fixing position of the DeltaDualCore panel. Figure 3-4 has been updated. Rev 1-10: This report has been updated to reflect the new version of the NCC, NCC 2022 which supersedes the outgoing NCC 2019 Amendment 1. The report is updated with regards to the applicable NCC 2022 clauses and performance requirements throughout. Rev 1-9: The report has been updated following release of a new brochure. References to the applicable product brochure has been included throughout. Further clarification has been added to the conclusion given in Section 4.9 as requested by CertMark. Rev 1-8: Following further comments received from CertMark, the report has been updated to remove reference to a vehicle design fire, this has been replaced with a suitable fire scenario in Section 4.7.1.1. Reference to NCC C1.9 has been replaced with NCC 3.7.1.1. Rev 1-7: Following consultation with CertMark, the report has been updated to remove reference to carport applications. The assessment outlined within this report no longer permits the use of the DeltaDualCore™ panels as part of a carport structure. Rev 1-6: The report has been updated following further comment by CertMark International. Main updates include: • The performance requirement to be achieved has been clarified throughout to be P2.3.1(a). • Design configuration 2 has been removed from the report. This report only addresses design configuration 1 (as described in Rev 1-5). • The conclusion in Section 4.9 has been updated. Rev 1-5: The report has been updated follow review by CertMark International. The main concerns raised by CertMark are summarised in Table 2-1 below.
