<p>The priority must always be ensuring the safety of residents. Where Aluminium Composite
Material (ACM) cladding is present on housing over 18 metres in height, the Government
is providing testing for local authorities, housing associations and private sector
landlords free of charge. If the screening tests indicate that such cladding would
not meet the limited combustibility requirements of the current Building Regulations
guidance, local authorities, housing associations, private sector landlords and the
fire and rescue service will determine the best course of action, communicating closely
with residents. We have given landlords advice on the immediate mitigating actions
they should take and are consulting an expert advisory panel to develop further advice.
We will publish a list of buildings tested in due course.</p>
