The following article describes an example of a fire in Grenfell Tower in London against the background of statistics of fires on façades in buildings over the last 60 years, compares and evaluates currently used cladding materials and methods of conducting their fire tests, and presents the latest changes in British fire regulations.The aim of the article wass to show the importance of the problem that may arise when using flammable facade cladding on high-rise buildings and the differences in the conditions for conducting fire tests in Poland according to available standards.
