LABC certificate became key part of Kingspan’s marketing literature for product used in Grenfell Tower’s cladding system
A local authority building control officer has said that he was “pressured” by Kingspan and a representative body to provide a certificate for a combustible insulation product used on the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower, the inquiry has heard.
Herefordshire Building Control officer David Jones told Thursday’s hearing that he was under pressure to “find a way” to approve Kingspan’s K15 insulation as safe to use on high rise buildings.
The 2009 certificate he produced for the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) - the group representing local authority inspectors which was paid by Kingspan to provide a certificate - became an important part of Kingspan’s marketing literature for K15.
