What is the major difference between noncombustible construction and fire resistive construction?
Basically non combustible and fire resistive are the same. Difference is non combustible has steel frame members that are unprotected or limited protected. Fire resistive has protected steel frame members with a fire rated material such as concrete.
Is steel considered a noncombustible construction?
Noncombustible materials are those that will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when heated. While these materials cannot be ignited and will not support combustion, they may react to heat in a manner that could affect structural stability. As an example, unprotected steel is a noncombustible material, but it expands significantly when heated, which could either push a wall out or, if it is confined, twist and turn, with the possibility of structural members falling. In addition, at about 1,000°F (538°C), steel loses about fifty percent of its load-carrying capability.

Define each ISO building class 1 through 6?
ISO 1 - Frame Construction (Wood walls & Roof, foundation construction does not matter) Masonry Veneer or accents still count as ISO 1. ISO 2 - Joisted Masonry - Free standing Masonry shell with wood floors and joists, flammable roof. (If structure burns, masonry walls remain) ISO 3 - Light noncombustible - Structure does not add to fire (fuel) load of building, but does not resist fire well. Light steel construction. ISO 4 - Masonry Noncombustible - Free standing masonry walls with noncombustible floors and roof. ISO 5 - Modified Fire resistive - Walls between fire devisions in structure have 1 hour fire rating. Noncombustible structure. ISO 6 - Fire Resistive - Walls between fire devisions have 2 hour fire rating, otherwise noncombustible structure.
