Fire resistance refers to the ability of a wall, floor or ceiling system to serve as a barrier to flame and confine it to the originating area.
Spread of fire from one area to another can occur due to:

- Collapse of a barrier

- Opening in a barrier that allow passage of flame or hot gases.

- Head conduction through an assembly that exceeds specified
limits.

Performance Reuirments

Partition assemblies must be able to remain standing and contain or slow the spread of flame, smoke and heat for a sufficient length of time so that occupants are able to evacuate the building or retreat to a more secure location to await the arrival of rescue crews in relative safety. Hotels, schools, hospitals and other facilities with large or special-needs populations require partitions with especially high ratings due to the extended time occupants may require to evacuate.
