Tested for Real-World Fire Performance: Why Basroc Is Built for Compliance
Basroc’s external wall cladding system doesn’t just meet fire safety standards — it’s built around them. Designed for high-rise, multi-residential, and code-sensitive projects, Basroc delivers proven performance across Australian and international fire benchmarks.
If fire resistance matters on your next project, this is where to start.
FRL 90/90/90: Proven Strength Under Fire
Basroc achieves a Fire Resistance Level of 90/90/90, meaning it holds up for 90 minutes across three key areas:
- Structural Adequacy
Basroc holds its load-bearing capacity for 90 minutes in fire conditions. It stays intact during evacuation periods and supports the structure when it matters most. - Integrity
The system stops flames and hot gases from penetrating the wall for 90 minutes. It seals off joints, penetrations, and interfaces under fire stress, protecting lives and nearby spaces. - Insulation
Basroc limits heat transfer through the wall for 90 minutes. It helps reduce secondary fire risks and supports compartmentation.
This triple protection makes Basroc suitable for multi-storey, Type A, and fire-prone construction zones.
Tested to AS 5113: Real-World Facade Fire Safety
AS 5113 goes beyond small-scale material tests. It evaluates how full facade systems respond to fire in realistic conditions.
Basroc passed all key areas of the AS 5113 test. It resisted flame spread, blocked internal penetration, and maintained its structural integrity. The system also managed heat release and stopped the spread of flaming debris.
That means builders and certifiers can rely on Basroc for compliant performance on projects where fire risk is high and real.
Complies with BS 8414 and ISO 13785-2
Basroc also meets international standards for large-scale fire performance. Both BS 8414 (UK) and ISO 13785-2 (global) simulate fire starting at the base of a multi-storey facade.
In these tests, Basroc:
- Contained fire within designated zones
- Minimised vertical flame spread
- Maintained system integrity
- Avoided structural or material failure
These results make Basroc a reliable choice for global projects and high-performance designs.
Passes AS 1530.1: Non-Combustible Core Materials
Basroc’s core materials don’t burn, ignite, or contribute to fire growth. Independent testing to AS 1530.1 confirmed its non-combustibility.
This classification makes Basroc suitable for Type A and B construction, eliminating the need for extra mitigation strategies. If the code calls for non-combustible cladding, Basroc checks that box.
Achieves EN 13501-1: Class A1 Rating
Basroc’s system also meets Europe’s toughest fire standard, EN 13501-1. It received a Class A1 rating — the highest level possible.
Class A1 means the product will not ignite, will not add to fire growth, and will produce little or no smoke or flaming debris.
This makes Basroc ideal for global projects and buildings that demand top-tier fire safety credentials.
Build With Confidence
Basroc doesn’t retrofit compliance — it leads with it. For projects where performance, protection, and documentation matter, Basroc delivers from the core out.
