Supawood Fire Retardant (FR) panels continue to meet all requirements for Fire Group 1,2 and 3 for any interior area within any class of building. This is despite more stringent BCA fire-hazard regulations continually being introduced.
Our FR panels are deemed among the least combustible timber products on the market today. This means they can be used in all critical areas such as fire-isolated exits, lift car interiors, public corridors, and lobbies providing fire egress.
To maintain this standard of superiority, we are continually striving to improve. At present we are undergoing detailed retesting so we can fully guarantee our products fully comply to the new standards and compliance with NCC2019 fire testing.
The main change in the testing is that the small scale test AS/ NZS 3837 used to be accepted, but most of our acoustic products would now fall under the full room or large scale test AS ISO 9705. Both of these tests are referred to in AS 5637.1 which is the main reference in the NCC.
