(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Building Regulations 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”) in relation to Wales.
Regulation 3 substitutes the Table in Schedule 3 to the 2010 Regulations for the revised and updated Table in the Schedule to these Regulations.
The Table in Schedule 3 (self-certification schemes and exemptions from requirement to give building notice or deposit full plans) to the 2010 Regulations lists all the bodies which have been authorised to operate competent person self-certification schemes for various types of work. Installers who are registered with these schemes are authorised to certify their own work as compliant with the 2010 Regulations without having it checked by a building control body.
Regulation 4 amends regulation 43(4) (pressure testing) of the 2010 Regulations in relation to the bodies who may certify compliance with that regulation.
A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations. Copies are available from the Welsh Government at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ and on the Welsh Government’s website at www.wales.gov.uk.
