Side-by-side comparison of the four major fire-rated glass testing standards. Architects and fire engineers use this table to determine which standard applies to their jurisdiction and project type.
| Attribute | AS1530.4 (Australia) | BS476 (UK / Middle East) | EN1364 / EN1634 (Europe) | UL9 / UL10B (North America) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rating Notation | FRL (e.g., -/120/120) | EI / EW (e.g., EI120) | EI / EW (e.g., EI120) | Hourly rating (e.g., 120 min) |
| Pressure Condition | Neutral pressure | Positive pressure | Positive or neutral | Positive pressure |
| Insulation Limit | 140°C avg / 180°C peak | 140°C avg / 180°C peak | 140°C avg / 180°C peak | 250°F avg (139°C) / 325°F (163°C) peak |
| Door Test Standard | AS1530.4 (same as walls) | BS476-22 | EN1634-1 | UL10B / NFPA 252 |
| Wall Test Standard | AS1530.4 | BS476-22 | EN1364-1 | UL9 / NFPA 257 |
| Accreditation | NATA | UKAS | CNAS / Notified Body | UL / Intertek |
| Primary Markets | Australia, New Zealand | UK, UAE, Qatar, Saudi | EU, Singapore, Hong Kong | USA, Canada |
| FPOS 21mm Best Result | 132 min integrity / EW-46 | 120 min / 120 min | EI120 / EI120 | 120 min / 60 min |
Key insight: AS1530.4 and BS476 use the same temperature limits (140°C avg / 180°C peak) but differ in pressure conditions. AS1530.4 tests at neutral pressure; BS476 tests at positive pressure, making BS476 generally more stringent. EN1364 aligns closely with BS476. UL9 uses slightly different temperature thresholds but is broadly comparable for EI60-EI120 applications.
Building type and jurisdiction determine the required fire-rated glass standard. Use this guide to match your project to the correct test evidence.
Patient safety corridors, ward doors, atrium barriers, and fire-compartment walls require the highest fire ratings.
Atrium glazing, lobby partitions, corridor walls, and guest room doors require EI60-EI120 depending on building height.
Fire-compartment walls, stairwell enclosures, and lift lobbies require EI60-EI120. High-rise buildings typically require EI120.
Corridor partitions, assembly hall glazing, and administration doors typically require EI30-EI60.
Follow this process to select the correct fire-rated glass product and obtain the test evidence required for building approval.
Determine which fire-resistance standard applies: AS1530.4 for Australia/NZ, BS476 for UK/Middle East, EN1364/EN1634 for Europe, or UL9/UL10B for North America. Check your building certifier's requirements or the BCA/NCC specification.
Corridor partitions typically require EI60-EI90. Fire-compartment walls and atrium barriers require EI120. Door vision panels require EI30-EI60. Smoke barriers require Sa classification. Match the rating to the BCA specification table.
Use the test report tables above to identify a product with the required rating. FPOS Laminated 21mm achieves EI120 per AS1530.4 (Report 251119021GZC-002) for single-leaf doors and partitions up to 1900 x 2500mm.

Common questions from architects, fire engineers, and certifiers about fire-rated glass standards and test evidence.
AS1530.4 is the Australian standard using FRL notation (e.g., -/120/120) and tests at neutral pressure. BS476 is the British standard using EI/EW classifications and tests at positive pressure. AS1530.4 is required for Australia and New Zealand; BS476 is required for the UK and Middle East. Both use the same temperature limits (140°C average / 180°C peak).
Hospital projects in Australia require AS1530.4 compliance with EI120 ratings for corridor partitions and patient room doors (FPOS 21mm, Report 251119021GZC-002). In the UK, hospitals require BS476-22 with EI60 or EI90 for ward doors and EI120 for fire-compartment walls. European hospital projects require EN1364/EN1634 EI90 or EI120 classification.
EI120 means the glass maintains both Integrity (E) and Insulation (I) for 120 minutes. Integrity means no flames or hot gases pass through. Insulation means the unexposed face temperature rise stays below 140°C average or 180°C peak. EI120 is the highest standard rating for fire-rated glazing in most building codes.
Yes. All AS1530.4 tests were conducted at NATA-accredited laboratories. BS476 tests were conducted at UKAS-accredited facilities. EN1364/EN1634 tests were conducted at CNAS-accredited and EU Notified Body laboratories. UL9/UL10B tests were conducted at Intertek/Warnock Hersey and UL-certified facilities.
For Australian hotel projects, specify AS1530.4 FPOS Laminated 21mm (EI120, Report 251119021GZC-002) for atrium barriers and lobby partitions. For UK/Middle East hotels, specify BS476 FPOS Laminated 21mm (120/120, Report BS-476-21-LP-001) for corridor walls. For European hotels, specify EN1364 FPOS Laminated 21mm (EI120, Report EN-1634-1-EI-001).
