I am going to install a ceiling in the garden shed that should be fire-rated. Which material should I choose? Would simple drywall or 22mm raw lumber work? Or OSB + simple drywall? The ceiling will be on cc30 strapping, and above that is plastic and then insulation.
What classification should you have?
A layer of gypsum provides Ei30, but you might need more?

If you mix drywall and a wood material, does the drywall need to be the first visible layer from the inside to achieve EI30?
For aesthetic reasons, I would like to have a wood material as the visible layer if possible, of course.

Do you have to meet any regulatory requirement or is there a specific function you want to achieve? Even wood resists fire for a period if you want to prevent the fire from getting through (EI classification). But then there are surface classes as well, and that's more challenging with wood.
