à l'épreuve du feu : 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 «résistants au feu» (fire resistive), c'est-à-dire susceptibles de s'altérer plus ou moins rapidement sous l'effet du feu. 4, record 2, French, - coffre%2Dfort%20r%C3%A9sistant%20%C3%A0%20l%27incendie
