Construction Products Reform Green Paper – Call for Input
The UK Government is running a consultation on proposals for institutional and regulatory reform of the construction products regime.
According to the Government, critical gaps persist in the construction products regulatory framework and it is proposing a series of ambitious and far-reaching reforms aimed at enhancing safety, ensuring accountability, and fostering innovation, growth and confidence across the construction sector.
The green paper supports the government response to the Grenfell Inquiry. It sets out a range of proposals for construction products reform, including proposals that address the Inquiry‘s recommendations. The green paper also serves as the government’s response to the Independent Review of Product Testing and Certification (the Morrell-Day Review).
Proposals span the breadth of the regulatory and institutional system. They set out how testing and certification will be strengthened and how the regulators will be equipped with enhanced powers and resources to effectively enforce regulations.
Pursuant to the consultation, the Government will be undertaking engagement with a wide group of stakeholders during the consultation period, including manufacturers, distributors, importers, off– and online marketers, specifiers, designers, developers, contractors, sub-contractors, installers, and insurers.
This consultation is open to everyone and will run until 21st May . In order to take part, click here. Further information may be found here.
