EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Building Regulations 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 substitutes a new Schedule 3 to the 2010 Regulations in relation to Wales.

The new Schedule 3 adds bodies to the list of bodies in paragraphs 13, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 24 which are able to register persons authorised under the self-certification scheme provided for by regulations 12 and 20 of the 2010 Regulations. The remaining paragraphs are unchanged from the Schedule as it applied in relation to Wales other than excepted energy buildings in Wales.

A regulatory impact assessment has been carried out in respect of the proposed amendments to the 2010 Regulations. The assessment was carried out by the UK Government on an England and Wales basis and is published at: http://www.legislation. gov.uk/uksi/2013/1105/impacts
