68Power to require or carry out tests for conformity with building regulations

(1)The following subsection shall have effect for the purpose of enabling a local authority to ascertain, as regards any work or proposed work to which building regulations for the enforcement of which they are responsible are applicable, whether any provision of building regulations is or would be contravened by, or by anything done or proposed to be done in connection with, that work.

(2)The local authority shall have power for that purpose—

(a)to require any person by whom or on whose behalf the work was, is being or is proposed to be done to carry out such reasonable tests of or in connection with the work as may be specified in the requirement; or

(b)themselves to carry out any reasonable tests of or in connection with the work, and to take any samples necessary to enable them to carry out any such test.

(3)Without prejudice to the generality of the preceding subsection, the matters with respect to which tests may be required or carried out under that subsection include—

(a)tests of the soil or subsoil of the site of any building ;

(b)tests of any material, component or combination of components which has been, is being or is proposed to be used in the construction of a building, and tests of any service, fitting or equipment which has been, is being or is proposed to be provided in or in connection with a building.

(4)A local authority shall have power, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there is or has been, in the case of any building, any contravention of any continuing requirement that applies in relation to that building—

(a)to require the owner or occupier of the building to carry out such reasonable tests as may be specified in the requirement under this paragraph ; or

(b)themselves to carry out any tests which they have power to require under the preceding paragraph, and to take any samples necessary to enable them to carry out any such test. In this subsection " continuing requirement" means a continuing requirement imposed by building regulations made by virtue of section 65(1) or (2).

(5)The expense of carrying out any tests which a person is required to carry out under this section shall be met by that person:

Provided that the local authority, on an application made to them, may, if they think it reasonable to do so, direct that the expense of carrying out any such tests, or such part of that expense as may be specified in the direction, shall be met by the local authority.

(6)Any question arising under this section between a local authority and any person as to the reasonableness—

(a)of any test specified in a requirement imposed on him by the authority under this section ; or

(b)of a refusal by the authority to give a direction under subsection (5) above on an application made by him; or

(c)of a direction under that subsection given on such an application,

may on the application of that person be determined by a court of summary jurisdiction ; and in a case falling within paragraph (b) or (c) above the court may order the expense to which the application relates to be met by the local authority to such extent as the court thinks just.
