Areas covered by the Building Regulations

The Building Regulations are divided into a number of key parts the list is reproduced here in order to give a feel for the scope of the regulations. Most of the parts are directly related to the physical building of construction projects and for many years the regulations only referred to the bits that you could not see when the building was finished. In recent years however areas of policy such as access for the disabled have been added.

• PART A Structure
  
  
• PART B Fire Safety
  
  
• PART C Site Preparation & Resistance to Moisture
  
  
• PART D Toxic Substances
  
  
• PART E Resistance to the Passage of Sound
  
  
• PART F Ventilation
  
  
• PART G Hygiene
  
  
• PART H Drainage & Waste Disposal
  
  
• PART J Heat Producing Appliances
  
  
• PART K Stairs, Ramps & Guards
  
  
• PART L Conservation of Fuel and Power
  
  
• PART M Access & Facilities for the Disabled
  
  
• PART N Glazing - Materials & Protection
  
  

In short most areas of construction work do require Building Regulation Approval but there are a few areas of work which fall outside current Building Regulations at the present time.
