Operational standards rules (OSRs) that apply to local authorities and registered building control approvers.
The OSRs are supported by information on monitoring arrangements, including reportable data and key performance indicators for building control bodies. The monitoring arrangements were revised in November 2023.
From 6 April to 6 July 2024 there is an extension period for experienced building inspectors in England who have not yet completed their competency assessment. More information about the extension period can be found in the building control operational standards rules PDF document.
