fire-proofing certificates [and reports on the fire-resistance classification of materials]

I realize that the translation I give is not literal, so it may seem odd at first.

However, googling literal translations such as "certificate/certification of classification of matierals" or "materials classification certificate/certification" do not return any results, indicating that those literal translations are not in common usage anywhere and would probably not be understood by English readers.

On the other hand, googling "fireproofing certificates" (or "fire proofing certificates") returns several results pertaining to classification of materials (in terms of fireproofing or fire resistance) specifically regarding stands used in festivals or events -- which is the context of source term in the question.

The words between [] in my translation are optional and could be omitted if desired.

Depending on the style guidelines for your target (English) document, you may write "fireproofing" (one word) or "fire-proofing" (hyphenated). The form "fireproofing" is more common.

Certificate of Classification of [building] materials

Admittedly one ref is from Canada, and the other from France :

V - PRESENTATION DES STANDS
Il est interdit d’agrafer, punaiser, clouer et d’utiliser du scotch double face sur les parois des stands.
Les exposants qui souhaiteraient aménager les stands au moyen de constructions supplémentaires devront respecter la législation
en vigueur et être en mesure de présenter les attestations de classement des matériaux utilisés à la commission de sécurité.
Toute installation électrique réalisée par l’exposant devra être conforme aux normes existantes en France.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, il est interdit de stocker les emballages derrière les stands ou dans l’enceinte du Festival. Les installations faites par
l’exposant sur son stand ne pourront pas dépasser les volumes et espaces délimités par le stand modulaire. Ces aménagements ne doivent en
aucun cas nuire au stand voisin, à la décoration générale, ni entraver les espaces libres réservés aux zones de sécurité (espaces d’évacuation,
issue de secours etc ...).
Les stands devront être découverts avant l’heure d’ouverture au public et ne pourront être recouverts qu’à l’heure de la fermeture.
Par respect envers le public, les stands doivent être occupés pendant toute la durée du Festival
