AS 4072.1 Service penetrations and control joints – Standard
AS 4072.1：Components for the protection of openings in fire-resistant separating elements -Part 1: Service penetrations and control joints
AS 4072.1 Service penetrations and control joints – Scope
This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the construction, installation and application of fire resistance tests to sealing systems - (a) around penetrations through separating building elements that are required to have a fire resistance level (FRL) or, if applicable, a resistance to the incipient spread of fire; and (b) at control joints between building elements that are required to have a fire resistance level (FRL).
NOTES:
1. Explanatory notes and comment on the testing regime are included in Appendix A.
2. This Standard does not address smoke leakage through sealing systems around penetrations and at control joints. Other Standards, such as AS/NZS1530.7, may be used for evaluating the potential for smoke spread.
3. The regulatory authority may require some evidence of compliance of the sealing systems installed in a building. Should this be the case, the recommended practice is given in Appendix B.
