The Building Safety Act 2022 and updated Fire Safety Order in the UK place a legal duty on building owners (Responsible Entities) to manage and reduce fire risks, including those related to cladding.
In England, the assessment is generally required for multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 meters in height with cladding. In Scotland, the Cladding Remediation Programme applies to flatted buildings 11 meters or taller, built or refurbished between 1992 and 2022.
A formal assessment, often resulting in an EWS1 form (External Wall System certificate), is frequently required by mortgage lenders and insurers to confirm the building’s safety status, which can impact a property’s marketability.
