Belinda Robinson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment did not have the information requested.

From: Belinda Robinson

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

The MBIE Fire Programme Update: March 2016 located at:

http://www.mbie.govt.nz/info-services/bu...

states that for Project 3: Material Group Numbers - Timber Linings, the first meeting was held at BRANZ where a full scale fire test was conducted on plywood linings.

Please provide the independent study that MBIE relied upon, or the fire test which MBIE or BRANZ conducted, which establishes time to flashover for untreated internal timber lined buildings that are sprinkler protected.

Yours faithfully,

Belinda Robinson
