Ym mis Ionawr llynedd, cafodd cod ymarfer newydd ei ddatblygu a’i lansio gan y Sefydliad Safonau Prydeinig (PAS 9980:2022). Esboniai sut y dylid cynnal Arfarniad o’r Perygl o Dân a achosir gan Waliau Allanol. Byddaf yn cloriannu’r cod trwy sefydlu grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen o arbenigwyr o’r sectorau cyllid a thechnegol er mwyn sicrhau’n bod yn darparu cartrefi diogel y gellid fforddio eu hyswirio a’u defnyddio â hyder fel ased ariannol. Mae hyn yn parhau ac yn estyn ein gwaith gyda’r sector cyllid ar faterion diogelwch tân.
In January last year a new documented code of practice was developed and launched by the British Standards Institution (PAS 9980:2022). The document sets out a methodology for professionals to undertake Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls.  I will be testing this through the establishment of a task and finish group of sector financial and technical experts to ensure we provide safe homes which can be affordably insured and confidently used as a financial asset.  This continues and extends our work with the finance sector on matters of fire safety.
