Fire Safety & Certification
AATIS/fr — Fire-Rated Aluminium Composite Panel
AATIS/fr is a fire-retardant aluminium composite panel manufactured with a mineral-filled, non-combustible core. Independently tested against fire standards from the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States — covering exterior cladding, roof coverings, surface burning characteristics, and toxic fume emission. AATIS/fr has been specified on landmark public-sector and commercial projects across Thailand since 1997, including government buildings, transport infrastructure, and high-rise facades.

| BS 476 Part 5 | United Kingdom | Ignitability test | Passed |
| DIN 4102 Pt 1 | Germany | Reaction to fire — building materials classification | Class B1 |
| ASTM E84 | USA | Steiner tunnel test — surface burning characteristics | Class A |
| ASTM E-108 | USA | Fire tests for roof covering | Passed |
| UBC 26-9 | USA | Multi-storey exterior facade flammability — intermediate scale multi-story apparatus | Passed |
| UL-94 | USA | Horizontal burning test (5 mm specimen) | V-0 |
| ASTM E119 | USA | Fire resistance rating for wall assemblies | 2 hours |
| ISO-TR 9122-3 | United Kingdom | Evaluation of toxic fumes during burning | Below IDHL |
IDHL = Immediately Dangerous to Health Limit. Results below IDHL indicate the panel does not produce toxic fume concentrations hazardous to building occupants during a fire event.
Why these standards matter for Thai building projects
UBC 26-9The standard most commonly referenced in Thai architect and engineer specifications for multi-storey exterior cladding. Passing this test qualifies AATIS/fr for facades on mid-rise and high-rise buildings throughout Thailand.
DIN 4102 Class B1The German "schwer entflammbar" (flame-retardant) classification. Internationally recognised and frequently cited in Thailand's premium and international development projects where European standards are referenced.
ASTM E84 Class AThe highest surface-burning classification under the US standard, indicating the panel contributes minimal fuel load to a fire. Required on many institutional, government, and hospitality specifications.
ASTM E119 — 2 hoursThe wall assembly resists fire penetration for two hours, directly relevant for projects requiring compartmentalisation between floors or zones — including hospitals, government buildings, and data centres.
ISO-TR 9122-3Toxic fume evaluation during burning. Increasingly required by government and institutional clients as part of occupant safety specifications, particularly for enclosed or semi-enclosed public spaces.
BS 476 Class 0Class 0 is the highest achievable rating under UK fire propagation testing — a benchmark frequently specified by architects trained under the British system, which remains common in Thailand's professional architectural community.
