Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
[Se dit d'un] matériau [...] capable de résister aux effets du feu pendant un certain temps. Cette période peut être déterminée par des essais de réaction au feu normalisés d'après lesquels on juge que le matériau possède une cote de résistance au feu déterminée. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9sistant%20au%20feu
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les organismes français et la NFPA [National Fire Protection Association] s'accordent pour bannir de leur vocabulaire respectif les expressions «à l'épreuve du feu» et «fireproof». En effet, aucun matériau n'est à l'épreuve du feu (c'est-à-dire impossible à détruire par le feu), même s'il est incombustible (par exemple, un poteau de fer). Les matériaux ne peuvent être que «résistant au feu» (fire resistive), c'est-à-dire susceptibles de s'altérer plus ou moins rapidement sous l'effet du feu. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9sistant%20au%20feu
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
L'adjectif ignifuge signifie «propre à rendre ininflammables les objets naturellement combustibles». On ne peut donc pas l'employer en parlant d'un mur, d'une cloison ou d'une porte. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9sistant%20au%20feu
