BS 8414
BS 8414 is a 2002 British Standard describing test methods to assess fire safety of cladding applied to the external face of a building. The latest version was issued in 2020.
The two-part standard describes methods for testing the cladding in two different setups, and has been ported to standards in countries such as Australia, Malaysia and the UAE.{{Cite web|url=http://www.bre.co.uk/news/Australia-adopts-British-Standard-for-cladding-fire-performance----1162.html|title=Australia adopts British Standard for cladding fire performance|website=www.bre.co.uk|publisher=BRE Group|access-date=19 June 2017}}
