Answer
Given the particular concerns around aluminium composite material cladding, the initial priority was testing those cladding systems. With the large-scale tests now complete and advice on the results published, the Expert Panel is considering whether there may be any heightened risks linked to other issues, such as other cladding systems and broader safety issues.
