What should be compared first: the board thickness or the fire requirement?
Start with the project fire requirement and protected construction. The required curve, duration and acceptance criteria define the performance question; the board and installation reference provide a proposed construction to evaluate against it. Thickness becomes meaningful within that comparison.
This page identifies a two-layer, 20 mm total reference with named RABT documentation. It gives a specific starting point, but the project still needs to match its concrete substrate, geometry, connection detail and acceptance process to the applicable documentation. Keep the design basis attached to the product reference throughout the review.
How is material non-combustibility different from tunnel fire resistance?
A material reaction-to-fire classification concerns the material's behavior under its classification method. Tunnel fire resistance concerns the protected construction under a defined exposure and acceptance criteria. These are related fire-safety topics with different evaluation objects.

Can a single 20 mm board replace two 10 mm layers?
The documented reference here uses two 10 mm layers. A single 20 mm board changes the arrangement of individual boards and joints even though the total nominal thickness is the same. Treat that change as a proposed substitution requiring the applicable technical assessment.
The same discipline applies when changing board identity, joints, anchors or the supporting construction. Keep the accepted layer arrangement in the specification, material schedule and layout. This makes later comparisons and procurement substitutions easier to evaluate against the actual reference.

What documents belong together during a technical review?
Keep the identified product, report, construction detail and project requirement in one consistent set. The report establishes a test reference; the construction detail defines the arrangement proposed for use; the project requirement defines the intended performance and acceptance conditions.
For the reference on this page, retain F-RABT-2.00-20 and JCBG(01)250609061 with the named entity and reported exposure stages. Review the full document for specimen details and criteria. A summary table is useful for navigation, while the underlying documents remain necessary for a technical decision.
Is a post-fixed board lining the same as permanent formwork?
A post-fixed lining is attached to an existing concrete surface. Permanent formwork is incorporated into the construction during concreting. The installation route changes the relationship between board, concrete and connections.
The reference shown here is the mechanically anchored, two-layer lining. Evaluate it on that basis. If a project uses a different construction route, the board selection and supporting assessment need to address that route specifically, rather than treating all tunnel-board applications as one arrangement.
How should I interpret the heating and cooling durations?
Keep the stages separate. The recorded heating stage is at least 2.00 h, and the cooling stage is at least 1.83 h under the report's identified basis. The stages form part of the stated test exposure; they are not two interchangeable fire-resistance labels.
Compare the project's required exposure and acceptance criteria with the full report. Retain the curve, specimen and measurement conditions when discussing the result. This is more useful than quoting one combined duration that loses the distinction between heating and cooling.
