Buildings: Fire Prevention
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 11 July 2019 to Question 274550 on Buildings: Fire Prevention, what direct experimental information the Independent Expert Panel is relying on for their assessment that Aluminium Composite Material poses an unparalleled fire risk compared to other forms of cladding such as High Pressure Laminate.
- Answer
-
The Independent Expert Advisory Panel relied on the preliminary results of the bespoke Non ACM test. The Government is committed to publish the results of all the tests including these. The results of this research will be published shortly. This is to allow for further tests on additional cladding materials including timber cladding and Class D High Pressure Laminates of various thicknesses and manufacturers.
So far, the results show that none of the materials tested present a significant fire hazard like that of Aluminium Composite Material with unmodified polyethylene core and other metal composites.
