What are the Different Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Categories?
You might have noticed the term BAL associated with our flame zone roller shutters and wondered what it stands for. BAL refers to Bushfire Attack Levels, which are ratings that indicate the potential level of ember attacks and radiant heat exposure a building could face during a bushfire. These levels range from BAL-LOW, indicating the least severe conditions, to BAL-FZ, representing the most severe.
These ratings are determined by several factors including the slope of the land, the local vegetation, and the distance to the nearest bushfire, with six different levels recognised in Western Australia. These are especially important if you are building a new property or doing construction work in and around a bushfire-prone area. It is now a government requirement to have compliant methods up to the Australian Standard AS 3959, to improve the building’s performance in the case of a bushfire attack.
- BAL 40: This level signifies an increased risk of ember attacks and exposure to windborne embers, necessitating enhanced construction requirements.
- BAL FZ: Represents direct exposure to flames and embers, requiring the most stringent construction standards to ensure safety.
