Insulation (Fire)

Insulation, represented by the letter I, is a measurement of time giving an indication of how long a component can withstand the heat generated from a fire and prevent it from breaching the building's compartmentation. During the fire, the construction on the non-heated side typically should not exceed +180 °C in a BSEN1366-3 test.
