Regulation 2 of, and the Schedule to, these Regulations amend the Building Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2214, as amended by S.I. 2011/1515, S.I. 2012/718, S.I. 2002/3119, S.I. 2013/181, S.I. 2013/1105 and S.I. 2013/1959) (“the Building Regulations”).
Regulation 2(3), (4), (6) and (10), and Part 2 of the Schedule, provide for the introduction of certification of compliance of certain types of building work with the requirements of regulations 4 (requirements relating to building work) and 7 (materials and workmanship) of the Building Regulations by a new category of persons described as “third party certifiers”.
Regulation 2(9) and Part 1 of the Schedule, substitute the Table in Schedule 3 (self-certification schemes and exemptions from requirement to give building notice or deposit full plans) with a revised and updated Table.
Regulation 2(2), (7) and (8) corrects omissions arising from earlier amendments to the 2010 Regulations. Regulation 2(5) makes drafting corrections.
Regulation 2(11) amends Schedule 4 (descriptions of work where no building notice or deposit of full plans required). Regulation 2(11)(a) ensures that building work consisting of the provision of a fixed flueless gas cooker may benefit from the exemptions in the Schedule. Regulation 2(11)(b) makes a drafting correction.
Regulation 3 of these Regulations amends the Building (Approved Inspectors etc) Regulations 2010 ((S.I. 2010/2215, as amended by S.I. 2002/3119 and S.I. 2013/1959). Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3)(c) of regulation 3 correct omissions arising from earlier amendments to the Regulations. Paragraph (3)(a) and (b) of regulation 3 makes provision for third party certification under the new regulation 20A of the 2010 Regulations to have effect also in relation to building work supervised by approved inspectors rather than by local authorities.
