Security
Australian Standard AS5039-2008 & AS5041-2003 – Security Testing Amplimesh® products are subjected to a rigorous regime of impact tests, jemmy attacks and pull testing under this standard, to ensure that the inherent strength and structural integrity of the manufactured security product is maintained. | |
Australian Standard AS5039-2008 & AS5041-2003 – Grille Shear Test SecuraMesh® Grilles are tested for material hardness under this standard, to ensure the force required to sever the cords of SecuraMesh® grilles meet or exceed the requirements of the standard. |
|
Australian Standard AS5039-2008 & AS5041-2003 – Knife Shear Test SupaScreen® Stainless Steel meshes are tested for material hardness and tensile strength by subjecting the mesh to a standardised physical cutting attack, which draws a knife over the mesh a number of times |
Fire
Australian Standard AS1530.4-2005, Appendix B7 – Fire Attenuation Test SupaScreen® Stainless Steel Security products have been tested in general accordance with this standard and when exposed to incident radiant heat SupaScreen® achieves a 41% reduction in the radiant heat flux between the inside and outside of the product. | |
Australian Standard AS1530.8.1-2007 – Bushfire Test SupaScreen® Stainless Steel Security products have been tested under this standard and satisfied the requirements for Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 40. |
