Insulation legality

[Gard1994]

So just wondering if anybody here can shed some light on this. So to my knowledge there are many companies selling Euro class F insulation ( which means it either failed the necessary tests or it hasn't been tested. Building regs banned these to be used above 11m due to the risk. How on earth are they allowed to sell a product which hasn't been tested ? 

 

Anyway i mainly do traditional building work, where would i stand in terms of legality in making my own insulation i.e pure sheeps wool as i know lots of farmers or small straw blocks to put between beams etc. Surely this is no different than if i was to use a product that has not even been tested even though sheeps wool and straw are known to be very fire retardant.  

 

Cheers guys.

For use under 11M which is most domestic buildings?
