Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 is a key guideline for the construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas. It outlines the requirements to improve a building’s resistance to bushfire attack, including burning embers, radiant heat, and direct flame contact. The standard aims to protect not only the occupants until the firefront passes but also to provide a degree of protection to the building itself.

BAL, or Bushfire Attack Level, is a classification used in the construction of buildings to assess and mitigate the risk of bushfire damage. It is a critical standard, especially in bushfire-prone areas, dictating the construction methods and materials to reduce the risk of fire damage. The BAL rating system ranges from low to high risk, indicating the severity of a building’s potential exposure to ember attack, radiant heat, and direct flame contact.
