From the article:
The inquiry heard that K15 passed a fire safety test in 2005 when it was placed behind non-combustible cladding. That meant the product should only have been used in high-rise buildings as part of the exact systems that had been fire tested.
However, it was marketed for general use on high-rises. The plastic in the Arconic panels was combustible.
The inquiry also uncovered emails from Kingspan UK staff dating back to 2009 that joked about the fact that fire safety tests on K15 were flawed.
