Points to check before you buy
- 01
ActivFire uses Listed-Based Assessment (LBA) and Recognised-Based Assessment (RBA). The classification explains the evidence route, not a performance ranking.
- 02
Match the model and listing classification to the Australian standard or evidence-of-suitability requirement used by the project.
- 03
Certification includes ongoing listing and surveillance; verify the live register.
Before you buy
What to check before relying on this certification
Certification is normally limited to a named model, configuration, standard and use. These checks turn a marketing claim into a procurement record.
- 01
Find out whether local law, your insurer or your project specification requires this approval, or whether it is optional.
- 02
Verify the exact product, standard, certificate holder and current public-register status.
- 03
Check local language, importer, installation, inspection and authority requirements.
- 04
Do not substitute a similar international certificate without written acceptance from the authority or specifier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ActivFire LBA and RBA?
LBA is based on evidence assessed through CSIRO Verification Services. RBA uses evidence from a recognised conformity-assessment body. Neither classification is a higher performance grade.
Is every CSIRO-tested product ActivFire certified?
No. The product must have a current ActivFire listing. A separate CSIRO test report is not the same as ActivFire certification.
Does ActivFire Certified apply to every product made by a certified brand?
No. It normally applies only to the models, variants, uses and conditions named in the current certificate or listing.
What should I include in a purchase order?
State the exact model, required certification and standard, destination market, documents to be supplied and any system compatibility or witnessing requirements.
