Safety / fire protection
Spanish term or phrase: "escaleras clasificadas contra incendios de una hora"
The whole phrase:
"Las rutas de escape deberán incluir escaleras clasificadas contra incendios de una hora si el escape de incendios sirve para más de un nivel o ruta externa de escape de incendios."

I especially don't understand the "de una hora" part - what does it refer to? The duration of the fire?
