<p>The Government responded to the Grenfell Tower fire by setting up an independent
panel of experts, who established that the immediate priority was to identify the
scale of use of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) type cladding on buildings over
18 metres. Following further advice from the Independent Expert Advisory Panel, the
Government commissioned the Building Research Establishment to test different wall
cladding systems using three common types of ACM panelling with two commonly used
types of insulation. The results will provide further evidence of how some commonly
used wall systems using ACM perform in a fire. This evidence will be used to produce
further advice to inform building owners’ decisions on whether they need to take any
additional action to make their buildings safe.</p>
