Specifically, the combustibility of cladding has been at the forefront of the new legislation. Lining systems must undergo rigorous fire testing to meet the mandated safety and performance standards and achieve a level of compliance.
On 1 May 2019, the 2019 edition of the NCC was adopted, creating significant changes to building material fire safety and compliance.
Introduction toNCC/BCA Requirements
Supawood continues to have panel options
To maintain this standard of superiority, we are continually striving to improve. We have completed a large amount of product retesting so that we can fully guarantee our products comply to the new NCC2019 fire testing requirements.
available to meet all requirements for Fire Group 1, 2 and 3 for any interior area within any class of building.
Our FR panels are 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.

The new standard now referenced in the NCC is AS 5637.1, which determines when the Cone Calorimeter test AS/ NZS 3837 can be used and when the Full Room Burn test AS ISO 9705-2003must be used. Only one of these two standards are acceptable when testing any timber lining product or configuration.
AS 5637.1 effectively the use of the rules outprevious AS/ NZS 3837 Cone Calorimeter test for any . This means products with joints or openingsacoustic timber products now fall under the 'full room or large scale' test AS ISO 9705-2003, as joints or openings are required in order to deliver an acoustic reverberation effect.
The reason for this change is that it has been found that the surface area of a lining makes a large difference to its reaction to fire.
2. Openings, holes and slots allow for greater airflow through the material, and with increased oxygen comes increased combustion.
1. Greater surface area allows heat to penetrate more rapidly and to a greater degree than would normally be the case of a flat panel or timber lining.
There are three reasons why surface area makes so much difference to a fire test result.
3. Timber products tend to char off relatively quickly after the initial introduction to sufficient heat.
The Effect of Surface Areaon Fire Group Test Results
Group 1 is best, and Group 3 is standard. All SUPAWOOD linings are Group 3 or better.
The exact group number required in a particular area is specified in 'Table 3 wall and ceiling lining materials (material groups permitted) of the BCA’.
Failure to comply with this NCC/BCA requirement can result in Occupancy certification being withheld and inevitable panel replacement.
The NCC/BCA Specification C1.10, clauses 4 and 6 requires certain fire hazard properties of all materials used as wall and ceiling linings which are expressed as a group number.

Table 3 - Wall and ceiling lining materials (material groups permitted)
Ref: NCC 2019 Building Code of Australia - Volume One Page 104-105
Class 4 - a dwelling unit that is a part of a commercial use (eg a caretakers/ managers flat).
Class 5 - an office building.
Class 7b - a storage building or building where goods are wholesaled (eg a warehouse).
Class 1a - a single dwelling or attached dwellings (eg a terrace, duplex, etc) where each dwelling is separated by a fire wall.
The BCA classifies buildings by their use. A building may be made up of a number of classes if it has a mixed use. The BCA identifies the following building classes:
Class 1b - one or more buildings that constitute a boarding house, guest house, hostel of small scale (ie not exceeding 12 persons or 300m2 in floor area).
Class 3 - a residential building for a number of persons such as a large scale boarding house, guest house, hostel, the residential part of a hotel, motel, school, etc.
Class 2 - a building containing two or more dwelling units ( eg flats, apartments).
Class 6 - a shop or other building where goods or services are retailed directly to the public.
Class 7a - a car park building.
Class 8 - a laboratory or a building where a process takes place (eg factory, workshop, etc).
Class 9b - an assembly building (eg community hall, sports hall, etc). This includes a trade workshop or laboratory in a primary or secondary school.
Class 9a - a health care building (eg a hospital, clinic, etc).
Class 9c - an aged care building.
Class 10a - a non- habitable building being a private garage, shed or the like.
Class 10b - a structure (eg a fence, wall, mast, swimming pool, etc).

Decorative Feature Linings You Can Trust
SUPAWOOD fire rated products put safety first while retaining a decorative finish. With us as your partner, you can feel confident that your project will look great and be compliant.
As a designer, you are responsible for more than the look and feel of a space. You also must consider your client's health and safety. The recent VCAT decision on the Lacrosse fire serves as a reminder that designers bear a responsibility for a building's safety. Failure to ensure your design is built to code carries substantial risks.
