ACP cladding is generally safe when manufactured to high standards and installed correctly. However, concerns exist, particularly with panels featuring polyethylene cores that can be highly flammable. Ensuring ACPs meet fire resistance requirements, using high-quality materials from reputable manufacturers, and adhering to proper installation and maintenance protocols are critical for safety. Regulations may restrict or ban certain types of ACPs following safety incidents. Ultimately, a combination of material selection, system design, and adherence to safety standards and regulations determines the safety of ACP cladding in construction.
