Unlikely, since it wasnt.

In fact you are the only person who seems to know this.


I have considered putting some Celotex in my attic and then covering it
with thin plywood so that I could walk on it but I have rather gone off
the idea, though if the house catches fire badly, I am unlikely to want
to go in the attic.


Get some and put a blowtorch to it.
Celotex insulation does not really burn.

The cladding, which is not used domestically, did.

Celotex on their website has documentation specifically warning users
and designers to be aware of regulations concerning buildings 'with a
storey height of over 18m'

They tested it as safe when used with cladding formed of mineral composites.

They did not test it with cladding formed of plastic foam sandwiched
between thin aluminium or zinc sheets, that would bridge the fire stops.
