In light of recent policy changes in the construction industry building facades constructed from aluminum composite panels (ACPs) may present a risk in the case of fire. The ACPs on many existing buildings are unlikely to be judged “non-combustible” under Australian Standard 1530.1. However, this is not to say buildings are not compliant with Building Code of Australia (BCA) as this will depend on certification of the ACP material, or the degree of fire retardant in the ACP core and other fire engineering factors in the building’s design and operation. If the building has an ACP this is assess by the engineers to determine the extent of the combustible cladding under the new legislation.
