The rational behind fire resisting doors for bathrooms is clear. If you consider that some bathrooms, as Phil quite correctly points out, have a higher fire load than others, along with electrical equipment, such as bath lifts etc, then is clear there is a potential for fire occurrence within such a room.
Now if you were to leave the decision up to the building designers based upon risk assessment, given the set of circumstances above then most would say, don't bother its a bathroom. And in the majority of circumstances they would be correct in their decision.
Now if we just say that all such doors must be fire resisting then this decision is removed from the risk assessment arena and as a belt and braces policy the area outside the bathroom is protected from the outbreak of fire within the room for the duration of the door criterion. Some bathrooms are a clear candidate for such fire resisting doors, some are not. If you make then all fire doors then no one is harmed eaither way.
Firewolf, quite ok to ask such a question the joke is on others who think this is rubbish.
