Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Richard Butler:

Can I come back in on that? We are performing to the European test methods now for construction. Therefore, the fire tests and all of that would have to be carried out to EN test standards, which can be very expensive at up to €40,000 per element for floors and walls and stuff like that. The UK still uses the British standard, which is the British fire performance test. That is just to clarify that.
