\nOf the 34 buildings identified to have used non-compliant cladding, 17 have already completed the removal of the cladding, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
\nIn August, SCDF announced that two models of the Alubond brand composite panel, which was used as cladding on external walls of buildings, were found to be non-compliant with Fire Code requirements.

\nThe discovery of the non-compliant cladding comes after an industrial building at 30 Toh Guan Road caught fire in May, resulting in the death of a 54-year-old woman, reported Channel News Asia.
\nIn its update, SCDF said the 17 other buildings are in the process of removing the non-compliant cladding.
\nIt also revealed that it has identified two more composite panel models \u2013 Bolliya and Bolli-Core FR \u2013 that may not be Class \u201c0\u201d certified. SCDF noted that seven buildings may be affected by the new finding.
\nAnother two building projects may also be affected by other non-compliant models of composite panels.
\n\u201cInvestigations are ongoing to determine how the non-compliant composite panels which do not meet Fire Code requirements for use as cladding, came to be used for these building projects.\u201d
\nBuildings with unrestricted public access are JTC LaunchPad @ one-north and Vista Point at 548 Woodlands Drive 44.
\nSCDF said it has contacted all affected building owners.
\n\u201cAll affected building owners whose cladding are found to be non-compliant with Fire Code requirements must work with their qualified persons to remove the affected cladding within 60 days, starting from the ground level.\u201d
\n\u201cIn the meantime, the building owners will be required to further strengthen fire safety practices by ensuring that their fire safety systems are in good order, enhancing vigilance of their personnel, and removing fire hazards.\u201d
\nSCDF added that it is working with certification bodies and qualified persons to check for other buildings with non-compliant cladding.
\nIt is also reviewing its fire safety regulations and certification processes on \u201cthe use of composite panels as cladding with a view further tightening them\u201d.
\nThe result of the review will be announced in 2018.
