FIRE RESISTANCE<br />

Successful fire tests have been carried out on <strong>JJI</strong>-<strong>Joists</strong> by<br />

Chiltern International Fire. A half-hour floor, a one-hour floor<br />

and a half-hour floor incorporating ceiling downlighters have<br />

all been tested. The following details show the approved<br />

floor constructions described in Chiltern International Fire<br />

Assessment Numbers FEA/F99142A Rev B and FEA/F99142B<br />

that provide a half-hour and one hour period of fire resistance<br />

respectively.<br />

TREATMENT AND DURABILITY<br />

<strong>JJI</strong>-<strong>Joists</strong> are untreated and when used in a Service Class<br />

1 or 2 environment, the BBA certificate advises that they<br />

may be taken to have a service life in excess of 60 years.<br />
