Made 28 February 2024
Laid before Senedd Cymru 1 March 2024
Coming into force 6 April 2024

The Welsh Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by sections 1(1), 46A(4) and 54B(5) of the Building Act 1984, make the following Regulations.
1984 c. 55. Section 1 was amended by section 1 of the Sustainable and Secure Buildings Act 2004 (c. 22) and section 55 of, and paragraph 2 of Schedule 5 to, the Building Safety Act 2022 (c. 30) (“the 2022 Act”), which, amongst other things, substitutes references to the Secretary of State with “appropriate national authority” in section 1(1) of the Building Act 1984 (“the 1984 Act”). “Appropriate national authority” in relation to Wales means the Welsh Ministers (see section 126 of the 1984 Act, which was amended by section 55 of, and paragraph 81 of Schedule 5 to, the 2022 Act). Sections 46A and 54B were inserted by section 44 of the 2022 Act. See the definition of “prescribed” in section 126 of the 1984 Act.
In accordance with section 14(7) of the Building Act 1984 the Welsh Ministers have consulted the Building Regulations Advisory Committee for Wales and any other person that the Welsh Ministers consider appropriate.
Section 14(7) was amended by paragraph 17(3) of Schedule 5 to the 2022 Act. This amendment took effect from 5 September 2023 and is subject to transitional provisions specified in regulation 5 of the Building Safety Act 2022 (Commencement No. 3, Transitional and Saving Provisions) (Wales) Regulations 2023 (S.I. 2023/914 (W. 141)). The consultation referred to in the preamble to these Regulations was started before 5 September 2023.
