Fire safety of multi-storey building facades.

This document has been drafted in the light of the recent facade fires that took place in high-rise buildings, and more particularly as a consequence of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in London in June this year.
The objectives are notably:

• To give an overview of the current regulatory and normative framework concerning the fire safety in Belgium, and more particularly with regard to the risk of fire spreading via the facades. This document will present the revision work to the regulation currently under way as well as some proposed initial approaches
• To outline the key points and constructional features making it possible to guarantee the correct design and installation of the commonly used facade systems, taking into account the current and future requirements in Belgium.
