<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject: [Strawbale]Fire Testing on SB
walls</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>> Help,<BR>> <BR>> I'm building a SB house in Hungary and after
getting permission for a wooden framed cob house and applying for the
modification of the building permit to Sb walls, I have been turned down on the
grounds of fire risk.<BR>> Does anyone know of any certificates, tests or
publications which documents fire testing on strawbale walls in Europe and where
I might find them? American/Canadian tests are no good for the building
department here. Or any loopholes to get around this law?<BR>> <BR>>
Thanks,<BR>> <BR>> Marcus<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
