Revealed: how Address Dubai hotel fire test was ‘meaningless’ | The National

Revealed: how Address Dubai hotel fire test was ‘meaningless’ | The National:

"A “successful” fire test in 2007 on the exterior wall panels to be used on The Address Hotel in Downtown Dubai was meaningless because it did not test flammability, according to the engineer who supervised it.

The National has obtained the original US fire test for the aluminium composite panels used on the building and interviewed the man who oversaw it.

He says that test measured fire containment and not flammability."
