How Pureform complies with AS 1530.1 Non-Combustibility Fire Rated + non-combustible. Pureform’s Pure Metal Tech® is “Deemed To Satisfy” and on the NCC’s list of “deemed-to-satisfy” non-combustible materials. The shift toward performance-driven façade design means architects are expected to deliver both iconic aesthetics and stringent fire compliance. NCC 2022 strengthened its position on non-combustible materials, especially for external walls and attachments, with the key rule sitting in Clause C2D10 – Non-combustible Building Elements.   Pureform’s range of solid metals — aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel and titanium — gives architects freedom to specify high-performance, fully non-combustible materials without the headaches associated with composites or bonded systems. Clause C2D10 defines which elements of the building fabric must be non-combustible in Class 2–9 buildings. Elements typically required to be non-combustible: External walls Façade attachments Certain internal linings Spandrels and fire-affected components Elements protecting escape routes C2D10 also includes a list of materials automatically recognised as non-combustible — which includes most common metals. This is where Pureform’s product range becomes a huge asset for design teams. NCC 2022 – Clause C2D10: Non-combustible Building Elements Why Pureform Solid Metals Make Compliance Easy?   Pureform specialises in pure, solid-sheet metals with no combustible cores, films or hidden layers. Our materials are: Recognised by the NCC as non-combustible Eligible for Deemed-to-Satisfy compliance Free from adhesives Free from composite layering Stable under extreme heat Produced with electro-chemical surface finishes, not polymer coatings This means the typical requirement for an AS 1530.1 combustibility test is inherently simplified — because solid metal is already defined as non-combustible under NCC 2022 C2D10(5).
