Independent Review of the Construction Product Testing Regime published
The government has published Paul Morrell’s Independent Review of the Construction Product Testing Regime.
Following the Grenfell Tower disaster, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) appointed former government chief construction adviser Paul Morrell and barrister Anneliese Day to examine how the UK’s system for testing the safety of construction products could be improved.
The 174 page review recommends a series of sweeping reforms which would change the way approved bodies regulate products to ensure their safety following installation in buildings.
The Secretary of State has stated the government will consider the recommendations and legislative regime changes proposed.
