520			_aIn November 2018 the UK government announced changes to the Building Regulations in order to implement the ban on the use of combustible material in the external walls of certain high-rise buildings in England. Issue 2 of this guidance document has been produced following a general review and in response to changes to building regulations and approved document B guidance published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) in June 2022. This guidance proposes a practical and pragmatic interpretation where conflicting interpretations have already been identified or where the potential for conflicting interpretations may be possible. This guidance is not intended to ‘bypass’ the amendments to building Regulation 7, Requirement B4 or the guidance contained in Approved Document B. Publication of this guidance has been overseen by the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology Technical Committee and the Society of Façade Engineering Fire Committee.
