states that for Project 3: Material Group Numbers - Timber Linings, the first meeting was held at BRANZ where a full scale fire test was conducted on plywood linings.

Please provide the independent study that MBIE relied upon, or the fire test which MBIE or BRANZ conducted, which establishes time to flashover for untreated internal timber lined buildings that are sprinkler protected.
