- This insurance industry funded study on industrial building fires was conducted in 2013. It showed massive differences between two panels which had the same fire-safety rating. A month after the paper was submitted, the insurance industry sponsors released a summary and video on-line. This led to a flurry of legal threats from manufacturers. As these reports remained on-line, the crucial differences in fire performance of sandwich panels were well-known when the paper was finally cleared for publication in April 2018. The delay, and the understandable pre-occupation with Grenfell-type façade fires within the fire community, reduced its impact at final publication.
