Fire resistance:
Load bearing capacity = R
Integrity = E
Thermal insulation = I
Classification according to EN codes
Demand for non-combustible building materials must be stated.
nbb ���� non-combustible (nicht brennbar)
REI 60 ���� timber constructions are possible
REI 60 (nbb) ���� no timber constructions are allowed

Timber on facades
� Combustion aloneisn‘t substantial
� Overall construction isessential
� Well constructedfacades achievefull protection
