Those scenarios being:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CLT wall interfaces in vertical configuration with EW-CB 30 Cavity Barrier (tested to EN1366-4)<\/li>\n<li>CLT floor and wall interfaces in horizontal configuration with EW-CB 30 Cavity Barrier (tested to EN1366-4)<\/li>\n<li>CLT floor and wall interfaces in horizontal configuration with RH25 90\/30 Cavity Barrier for rainscreen applications (tested to TGD19 prEN1364-6)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Previously, the lack of testing has caused CLT projects to need more costly, and time-consuming, bespoke technical assessments, but now these tests can be standardised, allowing teams to be more confident and streamlined in their work.<\/p>\n<p>It further means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard cavity barrier details can now be specified without project-specific fire testing<\/li>\n<li>Design programmes are streamlined, removing delays associated with bespoke assessments<\/li>\n<li>Fire safety performance is backed by certified test evidence to EN1366-4 and prEN1364-6 standards<\/li>\n<li>Risk is reduced through proven solutions for vertical walls, horizontal floors and rainscreen applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jessica Winyard, architectural technologist at Willmott Dixon, said: &#8220;This testing addresses a genuine technical gap that affects every organisation working with CLT. By working collaboratively with Siderise and KLH to develop these solutions, we&#8217;re helping to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon construction methods while ensuring robust fire safety performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Fire safety standards an evolving part of construction<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/fire-safety-systems-foundation-sustainable-commercial-buildings\/156667\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Writing for PBC Today<\/a>, Dwayne Sloan, principal engineer, built environment at, and Karine Johnfroe, VP and GM, built environment, at UL Solutions, discuss the evolving nature of fire risks and safety in buildings.<\/p>\n<p>They write: \u201cProtecting built environments today requires a layered approach of both active and passive fire safety methods. Active systems like sprinklers, alarms and extinguishers are what typically come to mind when we think of &#8216;fire safety&#8217;. These systems detect fire characteristics and suppress flames loudly and effectively to mitigate the fire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NFPA data shows that in the 92% of structure fires where sprinklers were present, they activated as intended and successfully controlled nearly all of them. Passive systems, on the other hand \u2014 fire-rated walls and floors, facades, roofs, doors and ductwork \u2014 are built into a structure to slow the spread of fire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese systems require little maintenance and are increasingly manufactured with new materials like recyclable insulation to reduce harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut most importantly, passive systems help delay the spread of fire, compartmentalise fires to the rooms of origin and preserve escape routes, which is vital in today\u2019s commercial buildings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is why a comprehensive fire protection approach combining active and passive systems is essential. Rigorous regulations, codes and safety standards are also key to driving comprehensive fire-protection approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
