Due to bushfires in Canberra in 2003 and the tragedy of the Victorian

bushfires in 2009, the Australian Standard "Construction of Buildings

in Bushfire Prone Areas" AS 3959 was revised. The changes provide

better guidance to the construction of buildings to AS 3959 with the

purpose of providing greater ability to withstand a bushfire attack.

Bushfire Attack Levels (BAL) were defined and means to assessing a

building site to these levels. Construction requirements are now laid

out to define the requirements for different elements of a building to

the BAL.

Throughout the catalogue BAL icons are used to show what Bushfire

Attack Level the product is suitable for. Shown here are a range of

sealing systems that may be used in accordance with AS 3959 to meet

these requirements.
