DISCLAIMER

• The ACP testing initiative facilitated by Aludecor is a voluntary, informational service intended to support informed decision-making by industry stakeholders.

• Fire-Performance ACP testing is conducted at NABL-accredited facilities facilitated through Aludecor’s R&D and Quality systems as per approved scope.

• Non-FR ACP samples undergo performance and quality evaluation at Aludecor-facilitated R&D and testing centres using defined internal protocols and relevant test methods. These evaluations do not constitute regulatory approval, certification, or fire-safety validation.

• Test reports reflect observations and results specific to the submitted sample only, under stated test conditions. Results should not be generalised, compared across brands, or interpreted beyond the tested parameters.

• Aludecor does not publish, rank, endorse, or interpret test outcomes, and does not comment on brand suitability or comparative performance.

• To protect confidentiality and impartiality, test coordination and reports are shared only with the sample owner or their authorised representative, unless explicit written consent is provided.

• This initiative is not a comparison platform, not an industry audit, and not a regulatory substitute, and participation does not imply endorsement or disapproval of any brand or product.
