Resource A Guidelines on Fire Ratings of Archaic Materials and Assemblies. In the pro-
cess of repair and alteration of existing buildings, based on the nature and the extent of the work,
the IEBC might require certain upgrades in the fire-resistance rating of building elements, at which
time it becomes critical for the designers and the code officials to be able to determine the fire-
resistance rating of the existing building elements as part of the overall evaluation for the assess-
ment of the need for improvements. This resource document provides a guideline for such an eval-
uation for fire-resistance rating of archaic materials that is not typically found in the modern model
building codes.
