Tower blocks that are currently under construction or are due to begin construction will be subject to Building Regulations. As such their design will be assessed and then the work will be inspected by independent building control bodies. The Department has commissioned and published the results of a series of BS8414 external wall system fire tests in order to improve the evidence available to developers and building control bodies in determining reasonable compliance with relevant Building Regulations. The test results and commentary from the Expert Panel advising Government can be found at the link below:<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/building-safety-programme" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/building-safety-programme</a><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/643281/Update_and_consolidated_advice_for_building_owners_following_large-scale_testing.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/643281/Update_and_consolidated_advice_for_building_owners_following_large-scale_testing.pdf</a>
