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.
Noncombustible construction refers to building methods and materials that do not ignite, burn, or contribute to the spread of fire. This type of construction typically uses materials such as concrete, steel, and masonry, which are resistant to high temperatures. The use of noncombustible materials is crucial in fire-resistant building design, as it helps to enhance the safety and durability of structures, particularly in areas prone to wildfires or high fire risk. Such construction is often mandated by building codes for specific types of buildings, especially in commercial and industrial applications.
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.
The ISO construction code for concrete steel is typically referred to as ISO 6935, which pertains to the classification of steel for the reinforcement of concrete structures. This standard outlines the specifications for various types of reinforcing steel bars, including their mechanical properties and dimensions. It ensures that the materials used in construction meet safety and performance criteria.

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.
Nobel gases are commonly inert, but even those can be reacted with in the right circumstances.
Yes, A non combustible construction just means that the supporting and partition walls need to be non combustible.

A noncombustible material is a substance that does not easily catch fire or burn when exposed to high temperatures. Examples include metals such as steel and concrete. These materials are commonly used in construction for their fire-resistant properties.
