resistor question

Not exactly audio, but I figured you guys would know. I need 10W 5.6ohm non-inductive resistors for an injector resistor pack I'm making. I found resistors that are the correct W and ohm specs, but I have no idea if they are non-inductive. I honestly have no idea what non-inductive means, and the people at the store didn't really give me a solid answer either. They are PhilipsECG flameproof resistors if it matters. Thanks.

a non inductive resistor has little or no impedance or capacitance.
this site sells them:

non-inductive means they have no inductance (which would result from coiling up a long wire, like in the wire wound resistors)
