Introduction 
This report documents the findings of the assessment undertaken to determine the fire hazard properties of 
DeltaCool-MW and DeltaTrim-MW in accordance with AS ISO 9705:20032 and AS 5637.1:20153.  
This report may be used as evidence of suitability in accordance with the requirements of the relevant 
National Construction Code (NCC) to support the use of the material, product, form of construction or design 
as given within the scope of this assessment report. It also references test evidence for meeting deemed-to-
satisfy (DTS) provisions of the NCC that apply to the assessed systems.  
This assessment was carried out at the request of Delta Panels Pty Ltd. The sponsor details are included in

Framework for the assessment 
2.1 
Assessment approach 
An assessment is a professional opinion about the expected performance of a component or element of 
structure subjected to a fire test.  
No specific framework, methodology, standard or guidance documents exists in Australia for undertaking 
these assessments. We have therefore followed the ‘Guide to undertaking technical assessments of the fire 
performance of construction products based on fire test evidence’ prepared by the Passive Fire Protection 
Forum (PFPF) in the UK in 20214.  
This guide provides a framework for undertaking assessments in the absence of specific fire test results. 
Some areas where assessments may be offered are: 
+ Where a modification is made to a construction which has already been tested 
+ The interpolation or extrapolation of results of a series of fire resistance tests, or utilisation of a series of 
fire test results to evaluate a range of variables in a construction design or a product 
+ Where, for various reasons – eg size or configuration – it is not possible to subject a construction or a 
product to a fire test. 
Assessments can vary from relatively simple judgements on small changes to a product or construction 
through to detailed and often complex engineering assessments of large or sophisticated constructions. 
This assessment uses established empirical methods and our experience of fire testing similar products to 
extend the scope of application by determining the limits for the design and performance based on the
