787 Certification - Fuselage - Special Conditions

Amicus...and others. I read your comments with interest.
Interesting to consider the Heathrow fire in the context of the 787 Certification and its Special Conditions for the fuselage. To what extent did the 787 Certification Special Conditions address flammability and survivability then - or was that ('Composite Fuselage ' Special Condition) related only to the physical fuselage structure and its capacity to withstand physical forces in a crash landing.
In the past I have tried to get more detailed information on what the 787 Special Conditions actually mean in practice - especially the ones relating to lithium ion batteries and the fuselage crashworthiness - but without success.
