[GSBN] Heat flux for bushfire rating

Hi all,

A member of Ausbale has asked me the following question, which I can't 
answer, as I too don't know how to translate the German or ASTM tests 
into heat flux rating.  Can anyone advise?
"i am trying to build sb in blue mountains and wondered wether you had 
any data that would support a rating of 35kw of heatflux.
i am aware of the german test but can not figure out how to make their 
data relevant for my application.
rfs needs an 'expert opinion' since the csiro test validates sb with 
clay render only to 29 kw."

Thanks,
Andrew Webb
