Tightened regulations imposed on exterior wall constructions in Kazakhstan.

Here's the rewritten article:

Yo, listen up! Starting 2025, the rules on external wall cladding in buildings are goin' to change, my man. Here's the lowdown:

For buildings of all classes, except those with a "class V" fire resistance rating, the cladding used on external walls should be made from non-combustible materials. In earlier times, it was a bit mellow, allowing some flexibility with the use of Group G1 materials from Fire Hazard Class K0 in structures up to 50 meters tall. But for buildings that reach 50 meters and above, only non-combustible materials were allowed.

Now, you might wonder, why the fuss? Well, these new regulations are all about enhancing safety, and they're part of some recent changes to Approved Document B, which have already been implemented, my dude. However, starting March 2025, the switch from good ol' British Standards to European EN standards will begin, with full adoption expected by September 2029.

As for when exactly the new non-combustible materials rule kicks in, these changes affect dwellings and other specific 'relevant buildings' with a story at or above 11 meters. These updates are a crucial part of the evolving fire safety game in the UK, aimin' to ensure better compliance across the nation.

But hang on, what's the skinny on class V buildings? Well, the specific exclusion of class V buildings isn't spelled out in the search results, but generally, these regulations seem to focus on buildings 11 meters and above, without any known exemptions like class V without further context. Just keep that in mind, man, when you're workin' with your building projects. Stay safe, and stay fire-resistant, ya hear?

In the manufacturing industry, these changes in external wall cladding regulations for buildings, effective from 2025, will require the use of non-combustible materials for all classes of buildings except class V. This shift towards safer materials is aimed at improving finance allocation for fire safety measures as part of the evolving fire safety game in the UK.
