<p>Testing is underway for social housing providers, private landlords and across
the public sector in relation to cladding on tower blocks over 18 metres in height.
Testing is being undertaken by the Building Research Establishment where Aluminium
Composite Material (ACM) cladding is identified. If the screening tests indicate that
such cladding would not meet the limited combustibility requirements of the current
Building Regulations guidance, local authorities and housing associations, in conjunction
with the fire and rescue service, will determine the best course of action, communicating
closely with residents. Where we have results for specific areas, and tenants have
been informed of the action to be taken, then further details are being released publicly.</p>
