The Construction Leadership Council’s Standards and Regulatory Alignment Group have produced an initial response to the Independent Review of the Construction Product Testing Regime – Testing For A Safer Future led by Paul Morrell OBE and Anneliese Day KC.
The purpose of that Review was to:
• to identify any potential weaknesses in the system and
• to make recommendations for improvement.
The industry response to the Morrell/Day review analysed the recommendations contained and set out which are for industry, which are for Government and which are for all parties to take forward.
It focused on the following areas:
• Existing construction product regulatory landscape;
• Current understanding and guidance;
• Testing methodologies and standards;
• Testing and certification providers; and
• Can technology help?
All interested parties are encouraged to read this initial step in responding to the pioneering report from Paul Morrell and Anneliese Day and we look forward to taking the work forward in due course.
