Plasterboard is also classified under the Euroclass system (BS EN 13501-1) for reaction to fire, where some fire-resistant boards achieve Class A1 (no contribution to fire) or A2 (low contribution to fire).
Where is fire-rated plasterboard typically used?
What fire resistance ratings are available?
Which UK building regulation applies to fire resistance?
How do fire-resistant boards help contractors achieve building regulations?

How is the surface spread of flame classified for plasterboard, and why is it important?
Surface spread of flame is classified under BS 476-7, which measures how quickly flames spread across the plasterboard's surface. Ratings range from Class 1 (best) to Class 4 (worst).
