Fire ratings are don't by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). They are and independent firm whose work is accepted by fire protection agencies.
The STC rating of the soundproofing material in this building is a measure of how well it reduces sound transmission.
The perm rating of a typical 15 refers to a measure of the water vapor permeability of a material, indicating its ability to allow moisture to pass through. A perm rating of 15 suggests that the material has a moderate permeability level, allowing for some moisture transfer while still providing a degree of moisture resistance. This rating is often used in building materials, such as insulation and vapor barriers, to determine their suitability for specific environmental conditions.
The fire protection class for 70301 typically refers to the fire resistance rating of a specific building or structural element as defined by building codes. This rating assesses how well a material can withstand fire exposure and is often categorized into classes, with higher numbers indicating better fire resistance. The specific class can vary based on the materials used and the intended use of the structure. For accurate and detailed information, it's best to consult local building codes or fire safety regulations.
The STC rating measures how well a building material can block sound. A higher STC rating means better soundproofing capabilities. The rating is important for reducing noise transfer between rooms and creating a quieter environment.
A flame spread rating is calculated by measuring the rate at which flames spread along the surface of a material under controlled conditions. The rating is determined by comparing the material's performance to that of red oak, which is given a flame spread rating of 100. Materials with lower ratings have slower flame spread rates, indicating better fire resistance.
Unprotected steel is generally not recognized as having a fire resistance rating.
In short, No - in the UK "Class 1" is a form of performance that indicates how easily something burns ('Class 4" being the worst). Fire resistance on the other hand is a term that relates to a construction's ability to resist the passage of fire (e.g. a wall, floor, door etc). The fact that a material is "Class 1" doesn't necessarily have any bearing on its fire resistance performance. For example, PVC cladding can be obtained to a 'Class 1' rating, but it wouldn't contribute much to the wall's fire resistance performance at all.
The process for conducting sound transmission class testing involves measuring the soundproofing capabilities of a building material by subjecting it to controlled sound levels and frequencies. This testing typically involves using specialized equipment to measure the sound transmission through the material and calculating its Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. The higher the STC rating, the better the material is at blocking sound.

The fire rating of 2mm galvanized steel typically does not have a specific fire rating in terms of hours like building materials such as gypsum board. Instead, steel can withstand high temperatures, but it loses strength as it heats up. Generally, the fire resistance of steel structures is improved through insulation or fireproofing measures. For specific applications, it's advisable to consult relevant building codes or fire safety standards to determine the appropriate fire resistance requirements.
Minecraft is a building game that is appropriate for players of all ages, with no violence or suggestive material. It is rated at 4.5 stars for user satisfaction.
A surface flame spread rating of not more than 150 indicates that the material has a relatively low propensity for flame spread. This rating is determined through standardized testing procedures and indicates that the material is considered to have moderate fire resistance properties. It is important for materials used in buildings to have low flame spread ratings to reduce the potential for fire hazards.
