Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest editi on, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australian Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publi cati ons; this informati on is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australi an
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publications, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

FOREWORD
The products dealt with by this Standard are mainly intermediate products used as
insulants, either by their manufacturer or by another manufacturer, in the production
of thermal insulation products, e.g. building panels, cool store panels, insulation for
bulk containers.
The subsequent processing referred to above is the determining factor in the fire
hazard associated with the use of these materials, i.e. the potential for harm to life or
property resulting from the occurrence of a fire. For example, when used in buildings
the cellular plastics may need to be faced with lining materials in order to achieve
adequate fire performance. Thus it is not relevant to include a fire performance test
for the materials specified in this Standard. The users of these materials should apply
suitable fire performance tests to these products in their finished form. Purchasers of
products fabricated from these materials should specify such tests in the purchasing
agreements. For building structures and components, suitable tests are described in
AS 1530.3 and AS 1530.4.
A combustion characteristics test has been included as a quality control test of the
