Fire Reaction - Classification of tested material using specified laboratory procedures evaluating combustibility such as Surface Spread
of Flame and Fire Propagation.
Fire Resistance - Property of a ceiling acting as a horizontal cavity barrier either in isolation or in conjunction with other barriers.
Non combustible - A definition of combustibility defined by a specific test method. Products not meeting this requirement are defined as "combustible".
Structural Fire Protection - The use of tested systems to provide insulation to steel beams or steel lattice beams against the high temperature generated
by a fire.
Structural Fire Resistance - The use of a tested assembly to provide additional resistance to a floor which has inadequate resistance of its own.
