COMPLIANCE
CERTIFICATE
provide a secondary means of escape from
a burning home. At least one window in each
room must have a release mechanism on the
security screen.
Homes with security bars, grilles or shutters
covering their windows may be useless in
an emergency if the devices on them do not
have a functioning release mechanism.
It is important to select security screens
with overriding devices that can be released
by an adult. Alternatively, ensure that you
select a product that has an emergency
egress feature and teach your family how to
safely use an emergency egress device in an
emergency.
Ensure keys to all security door locks are
readily accessible to enable escape from
the home if required. Deadlocks, if engaged,
will stop you from opening the security door
without a key.
PROTECTION FROM FALLS
The National Construction Code (NCC)
specifies various requirements for the
prevention of falls from openable windows.
There are also specific requirements in New
South Wales for strata title properties.
AS 5203 Protection of Openable Windows/
Fall Prevention - Test Sequence and
Compliance Method sets out the methods
of test for determining the performance of
a barrier screen and a restricted window
opening to a level of force specified in the
NCC.
If a window is accessible by a child and the
window is not restricted, ensure that tested
compliant security screens are fitted to stop
your child from accidentally falling through.
It is important to remember that a standard
flyscreen is not made to protect your child
from falling through a window.
Using a tested compliant screen for
protection from falls on a window, rather
than restricting the window opening, gives
you the benefit of full ventilation.
your screens meet
the local bushfire
regulations and
the requirements
of AS 3959 -
Construction of
buildings in bushfire-
prone areas. The
wrong flyscreens can
burn in a bushfire
and can be the
cause of your home
burning.
