Fire ratings (e.g. UL Class 350-1 Hour) tell you how long the interior stays below 350°F in a standardized burn. Burglary ratings (RSC, TL-15, TL-30) tell you how long a safe resists a skilled attacker with tools.
Most homes are well-served by a residential security container with a 1-hour fire rating. Jewelry, firearms, and irreplaceable documents push you toward TL-rated composite safes.
