N2  - This communication examines the findings from a survey of fire tests carried out in New Zealand. The survey compares the quoted Fire Resistance Ratings with the times at which the structures actually failed for different failure criteria. In particular, the differences between insulation and integrity failure for light timber-framed structures are discussed. The apparent imbalance between possible failure modes has implications for those involved in the analysis of structural fire safety.<p />
