An Australian perspective on product compliance and conformity for glazed façades

Abstract

What do Melbourne, Dubai and West London have in common? Sadly, they are the homes of the Lacrosse building, the Torch Tower and the Grenfell Tower and the most significant façade fires in recent history; none so sad as Grenfell with the tragic loss of so many lives. As these cities, and in fact the world, set about identifying and replacing the non-compliant aluminium composite cladding façades of thousands of high-rise buildings, you might ask ‘what does this have to do with glazed façades and windows?’ Cladding systems may include additional components such as windows and glazed doors or buildings may simply be clad in glazed systems. This paper seeks to identify where glazing and glazed façades fit within the Australian regulatory framework for building and construction and how conformity is validated and compliance policed.
