1 Internal walls required to provide a fire resistance
performance of 30:30:30 min. Single leaf walls of
symmetrical/asymmetrical construction exposed to
fire from one side at a time
2 Internal walls required to provide a fire resistance
performance of 60:60:60 min. Single leaf walls of
symmetrical/asymmetrical construction exposed to
fire from one side at a time
3 Internal walls required to provide a fire resistance
performance of 60:60:60 min. Double leaf walls of
symmetrical/asymmetrical construction exposed to
fire from either side
4 External walls required to provide a fire resistance
performance of 30:30:15 min. Single leaf walls of
symmetrical/asymmetrical construction exposed to
fire from the inside only
5 External walls required to provide a fire resistance
performance of 30:30:30 min. Single leaf walls of
symmetrical/asymmetrical construction exposed to
fire from one side
6 External walls required to provide a fire resistance
performance of 60:60:60 min and 60:60:15 min. Single
leaf walls of symmetrical/asymmetrical construction
exposed to fire from one side at a time
7 Specification of materials and conditions of fixings
for walls
8 Timber floors, concealed joists, required to provide
fire resistance performance of 30:15:15 min and
30:30:30 min
9 Timber floors, concealed joists, required to provide
a fire resistance performance of 60:60:60 min
