EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are the first commencement regulations made by the Welsh Ministers under the Building Safety Act 2022 (“the Act”). They bring into force section 48 of the Act in relation to Wales.

Section 48 of the Act makes amendments to sections 47 (giving and acceptance of initial notice), 51A(2) (variation of work to which initial notice relates) and 56 (recording and furnishing of information) of the Building Act 1984. The effect of these amendments is to remove insurance requirements for approved inspectors.
