Section 714.4.2 of the 2015 IBC addresses the issue of fire-resistant materials in multi-story residential buildings. It requires that municipalities across the United States install fire-resistant products into fire-resistance assemblies. These assemblies include ceilings, floors and walls. 

These requirements are relevant for the following applications – schools, hospitals, hotels, student housing, and apartment buildings.
