We are pleased to invite you to the PAM CPD 2026 | Technical Talk Series: Designing Fire-Safe External Cladding and Wall Systems, which will be held at PAM Centre.

The design and performance of external wall and cladding systems play a critical role in ensuring the overall fire safety of buildings.

This technical talk will provide an overview of key fire safety considerations in the design, specification and installation of external cladding, external wall and window systems, with particular emphasis on the requirements and application of BS 8414.

The session will explore the principles of fire performance testing for external wall systems, including common risks associated with combustible materials, system interfaces and detailing. Participants will also gain an understanding of how BS 8414 testing can be considered when designing and assessing external wall and cladding systems.

The programme aims to provide architects, designers, consultants and industry professionals with practical knowledge to support safer building envelope design, informed material selection and improved fire safety considerations throughout the design and construction process.

Join us for a morning of technical sharing, practical insights and professional discussion on designing safer and more fire-resilient building envelopes.

Ceramic tiles are among the most commonly specified finishes in buildings, yet achieving good performance involves much more than selecting the right tile.

The PAM Continuing Professional Development Committee (CPD) invites you to:

Topic	Understanding Ceramic Tiles: From Product to Performance
Date	Saturday, 17 October 2026
Time	8:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Venue	Dewan President, Level 2, PAM Centre Kuala Lumpur

 

4 LAM CPD Points (applied)

This half-day technical talk looks at ceramic tiles from product to completed installation — bringing together key considerations in product characteristics, standards, specification, good industry practice, certification, testing and site application.

The programme is designed to give architects and professionals a clearer understanding of what affects ceramic tile performance, how products are assessed and tested, and how these considerations translate into better decisions during design, specification, material assessment and construction.

Participants can also expect practical insights into common industry practices and a better appreciation of the relationship between product compliance and the performance of the completed tiled finish.

Whether you are involved in design, specification, material approval or site implementation, this session provides a useful technical overview of an everyday building material that deserves closer attention.

PAM Members : Complimentary 
Non-PAM Members: RM160
