Full-scale fire tests on wired and tempered glazing in steel and aluminum frames are described. These assemblies achieved fire resistance ratings when exposed to a standard fire of 45 min to 2 h. The maximum radiant heat flux transmitted through the glass was reduced by more than 90%.On d\ue9crit des essais au feu en vraie grandeur effectu\ue9s sur des vitrages arm\ue9s et tremp\ue9s, mont\ue9s sur des ch\ue2ssis d'acier et d'aluminium.
