Dear Marcus et al.
The Danish sb-testprogramme has produced several
results now available via the internet.
Thanks to a lot of work by Jørgen
Munch-Andersen
the results are also partly available in
English:
The test reports (in Danish) are available via
the following links:

Subject: [Strawbale]Fire Testing on SB
walls > > 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. > 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.
