Eurobond has launched a new RIBA approved seminar on the fire performance of composite panel systems which, it says, is in response to the potentially misleading labeling as ‘fire safe’ of some composite panel systems.
The seminar aims to highlight the issues facing the construction industry, and to provide guidance and information to allow architects to make informed decisions when seeking to specify non-combustible composite panels.
The session is offered through the RIBA CPD Providers Network and will earn double-weighted CPD points. It looks at some of the recent regulatory and legislative changes, giving an overview of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, Part B of the Building Regulations and the CDM Regulations 2007. It goes on to explain how these changes affect the specification process. The CPD also provides an introduction to LPS 1181, the Loss Prevention Certification Board standard for fire protection.
“With almost 80% of architects surveyed stating that they’re required to source highly fire resistant steel faced composite panels, this lack of understanding is alarming,” says Richard Wigley, marketing manager at Eurobond. “The Fire CPD has been launched to provide clear guidance in order that specifiers can be sure of making an informed choice.”
