Fire Resistance

The three figures in the right hand column refer to fire resistance periods for satisfying structural adequacy, integrity and insulation, respectively. Fire resistance levels marked with an asterisk are test results from previos 100mm Rapidwall panel tests. These results are deemed to be applicable to 123mm thick Rapidwall.

Copies of the fire resistance test certificates are available by request from Rapid Building Systems :
