Schedule 5 Fire-resistance of building elements

describes the method and conditions of the test and the form of construction of the tested prototype in full; and

certifies that the application of restraint to the prototype complied with the Standard Fire Test; or

certifies that the building element is capable of achieving the FRL despite the minor departures from the tested prototype; and

describes the materials, construction and conditions of restraint which are necessary to achieve the FRL; or

AS/NZS 2327, AS 4100 and AS/NZS 4600 if it is a steel or composite structure; or

AS 3600 if it is a concrete structure; or

AS 1720.4 if it is a timber element other than fire-protected timber; or

AS 3700 if it is a masonry structure; or

length and height if it is a wall; and

height if it is a column; and

span if it is a floor, roof or beam; and

conditions of support; and

to a minor degree, cross-section and components; and

structural adequacy (including deflection); and

integrity; and

insulation; and

the temperature reached by the components of the prototype and their effects on strength and modulus of elasticity; and

appropriate features of the building element such as support, restraint, cross-sectional shape, length, height, span, slenderness ratio, reinforcement, ratio of surface area to mass per unit length, and fire protection; and

features of the prototype that influenced its performance in the Standard Fire Test although these features may not have been taken into account in the design for dead and live load; and

features of the conditions of test, the manner of support and the position of the prototype during the test, that might not be reproduced in the building element if it is exposed to fire; and

the design load of the building element in comparison with the tested prototype.
