One would perhaps tend in England tend to use "fire rated" or with a fire rating of X, in order to be more specific about the length of time integrity can be preserved in the event of fire.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for the prompt response - this seems to suit my purpose (which includes delivering my translation urgently, this term being the only thing holding up delivery!). I will wait the usual 24 hours before choosing an answer, but your suggestion convinces me."Fire rated" rather than "fire resistant", I think. |
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks again BD - I used "fire rated", but "fire resistant" can work just as well of course"
