- OPSS is not requesting the recall of any product that has already been installed in the fabric of a building. However, those responsible for managing risks in those buildings should be encouraged to consider the implications of this product failing to meet its declared performance. As such, the UK importer (Cloudswitch Limited) have issued a recall notice stating that:
- If you have selected the identified Oren CAT 7 product relying upon the declared Class B2ca-s1a,d1 Reaction to Fire characteristic, you are warned that the actual performance of this product may not achieve B2ca-s1a,d1 classification and you should consider whether the lack of performance to Class B2ca-s1a,d1 is material to the fire performance of the setting in which it is used.
- The potential impact of lower performance of a product in relation to reaction to fire and building safety will vary on a project-by-project basis and will depend on factors unique to each building.
