6 Fire Resistance fire resistance, n the ability of a material, product, or assembly to withstand fire or give protection from it for a period of time. (ASTM E Standard Terminology of Fire Standards)

7 OBC Division A - Part 1 Fire-resistance rating : "...the time in minutes or hours that a material or assembly of materials will withstand the passage of flame and the transmission of heat when exposed to fire under specified conditions of test and performance criteria, or as determined by extension or interpretation of information derived from that test and performance as prescribed in this Code."
