We expect the final results of Non-Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) testing to be available by the Summer. The research findings will be published in due course. The findings will help determine, in consultation with the Independent Expert Advisory Panel, if any additional action is necessary over and above the extant Advice Note, which can be found here:
