wee brian I fully understood it 30+ years ago and it hasn’t changed its those mere mortals that are required to provide products to meet class "O" standard and many are completely baffled.

I am also not suggesting all products be retested but it would be nice to see more prominence given to the Euro standards.

Foil-faced combustible materials, for example, fall into Class O. Yet without their metallic facing, some are unclassifiable to BS476 part 6 or part 7 fire tests, or are rated combustible to BS 476 part 4 and as you can imagine how easily the foil can be damaged.
