This is part of an ongoing, systematic investigation into the fire risks from non-ACM cladding systems and there are no success or failure criteria.

BRE Report Number P111324-1006 (M5D6V1), sets out in detail the methodology, a copy was placed in the House library on 11 February 2019 in response to question UIN217589 and can be found here: http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2019-0225/Cladding_Research_Interim_Report_M5D6_redacted.pdf.
