<p>The National Regulator for Construction Products, which is being established within
the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), will oversee the construction
products regulatory regime at a national level. Their role is to ensure that economic
operators fulfil their obligations in bringing their construction products onto the
market, a step before the incorporation of construction products into buildings. As
such, this regulator will not have any statutory responsibilities concerning Approved
Documents.</p><p>The person carrying out the work has to demonstrate compliance with
the applicable requirements of the Building Regulations, including Part B on Fire
Safety in Schedule 1, to the relevant building control body, who check building work
for compliance with building regulations' requirements. The approved documents are
guidance on how applicants may be able to comply with building regulations' legal
requirements.</p><p>Under the Building Safety Act 2022, the National Regulator for
Construction Products and the Building Safety Regulator when established will work
closely together on potential safety issues posed by construction products.</p>
