Signage on Fire? Not Literally!
Understanding Fire Compliance in the Signage Industry

In recent years, the certification of external signage to be ‘fire rated’ or non-combustible and compliant with Australian Standards has become a burning consideration for construction projects and certifiers around the country —pardon the pun!

With increasing scrutiny on building materials and fire safety, ensuring that signage meets compliance requirements is unfortunately, no longer optional.

The National Construction Code (NCC) sets the minimum safety, health, and sustainability standards for buildings in Australia and whilst signage was previously exempt, this changed in 2019 when new regulations required that signage comply with the flammability requirements of external wall materials.

This means that certain types of signage—particularly those affixed to building façades—must now undergo fire compliance assessments to meet national safety standards, or be manufactured using non-combustible materials to omit them.

However, not all signage requires fire compliance, and understanding which signs fall under these regulations can be complex.
Seeking expert advice is essential to avoid costly reworks, project delays, or non-compliance risks.

More importantly, ensuring that signage meets fire safety standards helps protect public safety and mitigates potential hazards.
