I am investigating if there is a difference in fire design to BS5950-08 between standard structural steel (BSEN 10025) and marine grade steel (BSEN 10225).

Is there a difference between these different types of steel and, if so, where could I find details? Is it "wrong" to use BS5950-08 using the properties of structural steel if marine grade steel is being used?
