THE BUILDING REGULATIONS 2000

Use of guidance

THE APPROVED DOCUMENTS

This document is one of a series that has been

approved and issued by the Secretary of State

for the purpose of providing practical guidance

with respect to the requirements of Schedule 1

to and regulation 7 of the Building Regulations

2000 (SI 2000/2531) for England and Wales. SI

2000/2531 has been amended by the Building

(Amendment) Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/3335),

the Building (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (SI

2002/440), the Building (Amendment) (No 2)

Regulations 2002 (SI 2002/2871), the Building

(Amendment) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2692),

the Building (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (SI

2004/1465) and the Building (Amendment) (No

3) Regulations (SI 2004/3210).

At the back of this document is a list of all

the documents that have been approved and

issued by the Secretary of State for this

purpose.

Approved Documents are intended to provide

guidance for some of the more common

building situations. However, there may well be

alternative ways of achieving compliance with

the requirements. Thus there is no obligation

to adopt any particular solution contained in

an Approved Document if you prefer to meet

the relevant requirement in some other way.

safety for persons in or about buildings (and

any others who may be affected by buildings or

matters connected with buildings). This is one

of the categories of purpose for which Building

Regulations may be made.

Paragraphs H2 and J6 are excluded from

regulation 8 because they deal directly with

prevention of the contamination of water. Parts

E and M (which deal, respectively, with

resistance to the passage of sound, and

access to and use of buildings) are excluded

from regulation 8 because they address the

welfare and convenience of building users. Part

L is excluded from regulation 8 because it

addresses the conservation of fuel and power.

All these matters are amongst the purposes,

other than health and safety, that may be

addressed by Building Regulations.

MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP

Any building work which is subject to the

requirements imposed by Schedule 1 to the

Building Regulations should, in accordance

with regulation 7, be carried out with proper

materials and in a workmanlike manner.

You may show that you have complied with

regulation 7 in a number of ways. These

include the appropriate use of a product

bearing CE marking in accordance with the

Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) 1 ,

the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC and

amendment 93/68/EEC) 2 and the EMC Directive

(89/336/EEC) 3 , as amended by the CE marking

Directive (93/68/EEC) 4 , or a product complying

with an appropriate technical specification (as

defined in those Directives), a British Standard,

or an alternative national technical

specification of any state which is a

contracting party to the European Economic

Area which, in use, is equivalent, or a product

covered by a national or European certificate

issued by a European Technical Approval

issuing body, and the conditions of use are in

accordance with the terms of the certificate.

You will find further guidance in the Approved

Document supporting regulation 7 on materials

and workmanship.

Supplementary guidance

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister

occasionally issues additional material to aid

interpretation of the guidance contained in

Approved Documents. This material may be

conveyed in official letters to Chief Executives

of Local Authorities and Approved Inspectors

and/or posted on the web sites accessed

through: http://www.odpm.gov.uk/building-

regulations.

Other requirements

The guidance contained in an Approved

Document relates only to the particular

requirements of the Regulations which the

document addresses. The building work will

also have to comply with the requirements of

any other relevant paragraphs in Schedule 1 to

the Regulations.

There are Approved Documents which give

guidance on each of the Parts of Schedule 1

and on Regulation 7.
