It will also be of interest to fire risk assessors and specialist external wall appraisal experts.

*The expectation is that Category 3 MCM should be removed. It should only be permitted in exceptional circumstances e.g. very small area of coverage in a position which does not pose a significant risk to life. Such decisions must be robustly justified in the fire safety risk assessment.
