What about fire resistance?

Ground floor fire resistance

The ground floor should achieve at least ½ hours fire resistance, unless it is a compartment floor, in which case it should achieve at least an hours fire resistance.

There should be at least 100mm insulation between the ground floor joists and 2 layers of 12.7mm plasterboard used with joints staggered.
