decarbonise lighting O

can off er its members and other industry stakeholders access to world-leading software - already used by several lighting manufacturers - that simplifi es the process of creating accurate and credible LCAs and EPDs for their products.
Grenfell report prompts call for enhanced building safety
U
K cable manufacturer Wrexham Mineral Cables (WMC), has called for better building safety standards through the use of fi re survival cables. The call to action comes as the industry
refl ects on the 1,700-page Grenfell Inquiry report, which sets out how ‘decades of failure’ across government and the construction sector led to Grenfell Tower becoming a site of tragic loss of life.
WMC says the industry reform must include a new standard that enables architects and specifi ers to identify true fi re survival cables, which are proven to perform to safety standards in real-world scenarios. WMC warns the current regulatory framework allows for inferior cables to be used in safety-critical applications, putting lives and property at risk. In 2023, WMC published a white paper outlining how cables – often an overlooked component of a building’s system – directly impact building safety. The paper advocates for the introduction of a higher classifi cation of fi re survival cable, which can continue to power critical circuits in the event of a fi re.
