‘The Reaction to Fire – Everything You Need to Consider When Choosing Facade Systems’ is a new RIBA approved CPD training created by Saint-Gobain Weber to ensure that anyone involved in the specification of External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems is aware of what is required under the latest building regulations and what they should be looking for when it comes to test data. The CPD provides a framework for what architects and specifiers should be asking for from product manufacturers so that they can demonstrate compliance and provide the necessary information for the golden thread. It also gives an overview of the differences between reaction to fire and fire resistance, the principles of fire resistance and the current regulatory framework. James Thomson is a senior building surveyor at CUBE Building Consultancy and recently attended the online training. “We found the presentation beneficial to help us understand the quality standards facades go through in relation to fire performance. The technical input from Weber’s specialist helped clarify the detail in the presentation,” said James. “The CPD benefits our business in understanding the types of facade available and associated risks when advising clients who own buildings covered with cladding. The CPD provides a contact point for a specialist should we have any queries on a type of facade system.” The presentation provides an in depth look at each of the different small and large scale fire tests and how these relate to standards, as well as giving insight into Weber’s own testing experiences and projects.
