MCRMA Publishes Advice Note on Amendments to Building Regulations

THE Metal Cladding and Roofing Manufacturers Association (MCRMA) has published a new Advice Note titled AN 08 The Building (Amendment) Regulations 2021 interim guidance.

This advice note is intended to address certain ambiguities in the new Approved Document AD-L Volume 2 Buildings other than dwellings which MCRMA has identified in comparison with previous versions of the Approved Documents.

The advice note offers interim comment until these issues are clarified by the relevant regulators.

Building Regulations

Important amendments to Building Regulations and Approved Document L Conservation of Energy for England were announced in December 2021 and come into effect in June 2022,  with transition regulations in place until June 2023.

The key amendments relate to external wall and roof constructions for relevant residential and institutional buildings.

Changes to the Building Regulations and other government regulations for the construction industry which are currently under revision, are expected to impose and regulate better levels of quality control and performance by the design team, product manufacturers, main contractor and sub-contractors including sheeting and cladding installers.

The advice note can be downloaded from the MCRMA website here.
