The Scottish government is expected to allow combustible cladding to remain on buildings in Scotland, following recommendations by an expert panel.
The move would make Scotland the only part of the UK not to outlaw the materials when building regulations change tomorrow.
It follows reports that Kingspan, the company whose insulation has been criticised at the inquiry into the Grenfell fire that killed 72 people, urged ministers not to ban combustible products.
It instead argued that testing should be used as a route to compliance ahead of changes to the building regulations expected tomorrow.
The building standards (fire safety) review panel, which advises the Scottish government, said the controversial BS 8414 test, which allows combustible materials to be used provided they pass the assessment, should continue.
