FR A2 ACP uses aluminium corrugated core (ACCP) and is classified as non-combustible (A2-s1,d0). FR B1 uses mineral-filled core and is classified as limited combustibility (B-s1,d0). FR A2 is mandatory for buildings above 15m per NBC 2016, while FR B1 is acceptable for buildings under 15m. FR A2 costs 40-50% more than FR B1. VIVA manufactures both grades.
