New fire safety code aims to reduce flammability of claddings used
the new cladding regulations once their maintenance is due
Dubai - ArabToday
The updated UAE Fire and Life Safety code has new regulations on cladding panels to ensure their flammability is as close to zero as possible, a top official revealed at Intersec Fire Safety Conference on Sunday.
Lieutenant Taher Hassan Al Taher, head of Inspection and Permitting section at Dubai Civil Defence, said that though there is no such thing as fire retardant cladding, the new specification's goal is to minimize it [flammability] to zero."
Existing towers will have to comply with the new cladding regulations once their maintenance is due, he added
"The new rules on cladding took six months to be finalised," he said.
A copy of the new code and technical specifications on cladding was not available at Intersec, which is taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre.
