What UK Building Regulations 2010 - Approved Documents, Building Control, and Structural Requirements requires

The Building Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/2214) made under the Building Act 1984 set out the minimum functional standards for building work in England. The Regulations apply to building work as defined in Regulation 3, which includes the erection or extension of a building, material alterations to buildings, material changes of use, insertion of insulation into a cavity wall, and underpinning of a building. Regulation 4 requires that building work shall comply with the applicable requirements in Schedule 1 of the Regulations; Schedule 1 contains the technical requirements organised into Parts A (structure), B (fire safety), C (site preparation and resistance to moisture), D (toxic substances), E (resistance to the passage of sound), F (ventilation), G (sanitation, hot water safety, and water efficiency), H (drainage and waste disposal), J (combustion appliances and fuel storage), K (protection from falling, collision, and impact), L (conservation of fuel and power), M (access to and use of buildings), N (glazing), O (overheating), P (electrical safety), Q (security), and R (high-speed electronic communications networks). The Approved Documents published by the government provide practical guidance on how to comply with the Schedule 1 requirements. Building control approval is provided either through the local authority building control (LABC) service or by a registered building control approver (RBCA) formerly known as an approved inspector.
