Abstract
Following a fire in a multi-storey residential housing block in Scotland in the summer of 1999, a parliamentary inquiry was undertaken by the then Environment Sub-committee of the Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs Committee to investigate the potential risk of fire spread in buildings by way of external cladding systems. As part of their recommendations, the sub-committee asked that the relevant guidance in this area be reviewed. As a consequence, revision was started of the recommendations given in the first edition of this guide. This second edition seeks to update and build upon the previous advice.
