EU Safety Gate Alert
Extruded polystyrene foam insulation boards (1250 mm x 600 mm x 30 mm) distributed by Soprema in Malta have been recalled because they do not meet fire safety standards—the material's fire resistance is lower than claimed. The product fails to comply with EU construction regulations and fire classification standards, which means it could contribute to the spread of fire more readily than indicated.
