Fire integrity generally refers to the ability of a building element, system, component (or a combination of these) to stop fire, flames or hot gases from physically passing from one side, the fire side to the other or safer side.

By example the [https://www.firecode.org.uk/ Code of practice: Hardware for fire and escape doors, Issue 5], published by DHF and GAI in November 2024, defines fire integrity as a 'measure of the ability of a specified door to resist and thus contain the effects of fire for a recognised period of time. (Usually expressed in minutes - e.g. FD60 or E60 implies a door set capable of withstanding exposure to fire test for at least 60 minutes).'
