fire resistance

**Fire Resistance**

Fire resistance refers to the ability of a material, structure, or system to withstand fire or provide protection against the spread of flames and heat. In construction and safety contexts, fire resistance is a critical factor for ensuring the durability and safety of buildings, helping to prevent structural collapse and allowing more time for evacuation during a fire. Materials and products with high fire resistance are tested and rated according to standards that measure their performance in fire conditions.
