AS NZS 5110 Safety Standard
AS/NZS 5110 Safety Standard Compliance
The AS/NZS 5110 Safety Standard comes into play when a builder or homeowner requires the following features in the building and thermal envelope of the building:
- Fire Rating
- Draught Proofing
- Insulation
- Sound Proofing
If you need any of these features in your ceiling system, particularly with recessed lighting, your fittings must comply with the AS/NZS 5110 Safety Standard.
The Efficiency Matrix Small Basic Cover is designed to meet this standard, even in abnormal conditions. It provides:
- Up to 2-hour Fire Rating
- Sound Proofing capabilities
- An easy installation process from below the ceiling, with a 95mm cut-out and built-in R-value for energy efficiency
We have partnered with LED Lighting suppliers to ensure compatibility with our products, so you can maintain your lighting warranty. For more information on the Small Basic Cover and other downlight covers, visit the Tighthouse website
The Small Basic Cover has undergone rigorous testing, including submersion in 400mm of insulation, to demonstrate its energy efficiency benefits for both heating and cooling.
