If a fire door is rated to withstand for an hour, you don't strip off the outer skins of the door and then test it.
This is hysteria, started by the government fuelled by the media.
The enquiry needs to run its course but I would say ultimately the buck stops with the landlord until proven otherwise.

Any landlord has to trust the designers. They can't be expected to be experts in design and materials.
The designers merely trusted the "headline" from the manufacturers that the insulation was ok to use above 18m, They didn't look to check specifically under what circumstances it can be used and assumed it could just be slapped on.
