This provision has been in place since 1985. The approved document gives guidance on how these requirements may be met. Paragraph 12.5 of Volume 2 of Approved Document B sets out that the external envelope of the building should not provide a medium for fire spread if it is likely to be a risk to health and safety. Paragraph 12.5 also says that the use of combustible materials in the cladding system and extensive cavities may present such a risk in tall buildings. The provisions relating to limited combustibility in paragraph 12.7 of the Approved Document B have, since the version published in 2006, included references to insulation products, filler material etc.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 21/03/2019 17:02:41 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
