(/) Steel or Other Equivalent Material. — jWhere the words " steel or 

 other equivalent material" occur,-" equivalent material" means 

 any material which, by itself or due to insulation provided, has 

 structural and integrity properties equivalent to steel at the end 

 of the applicable fire exposure {e.g., aluminium with appropriate 

 insulation). 



(/?0 Low flame spread means that the surface thus described will 

 adequately restrict the spread of flame having regard to the risk of 

 fire in the spaces concerned, this being determined to the satisfaction
