BRE (Building Research Establishment) and Local Authority Building Control (LABC) have signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to ‘drive the development of a more efficient building control acceptance service for construction products, systems and solutions under the LABCs Registered Details scheme’.
BRE writes:
The scheme enables developers, architects, designers, technical specifiers and contractors to register or use existing design details to minimise the building control checking and approvals process. Through it manufacturers register their products and LABC measure them against the Building Regulations and judge whether, if used correctly they will comply.
