Re: Huge fire at West London tower block

Quote from BBC News:
Fire tests carried out as early as 2014 showed cladding used on Grenfell Tower failed to meet the safety standards originally claimed by its manufacturer, a BBC investigation has found.
The firm Arconic knew the test rating had been downgraded, but the UK body that certifies building products said it was not told about the change.
An industry source, who has worked on a number of cladding schemes, said he believed there should have been a product recall.

But two different types which were later fitted at the block did not carry the same rating.
One was given a C — and another given an E. Products are rated for their “reaction to fire” on an A to F scale, with A being the best. A source told the BBC: “You wouldn’t put E on a dog kennel.”
