    Difference between A- and H-fire ratings

    A-fire rated doors and walls are tested with a normal ISO standard fire temperature curve. H-fire rated items are

    tested with a Hydrocarbon fire curve. The exact difference is the temperature during the testing procedure, H-fire ratd

    doors and walls are tested at higher temperatures in a longer time period.

    The fire doors and fire walls shall maintain its function with respect to fire resistance and structural integrity when

    exposed to a heat load characteristic for cellulosic (A-fire rating) or hydrocarbon (H-fire rating) fire.
