CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS - LIKELY EUROCLASES
The following synopsis is extracted from the results of research
conducted by Warrington Fire Research* for the Government under
a Partners in Innovation sponsored project involving industry.
For full details see www.wfrc.co.uk
The classification below is for Reaction to Fire and does not
indicate the long-term stability of installed products in fire.
Therefore Resistance to Fire should also be considered when selecting
products.
