Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the new UKCA accreditation process, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of enabling a UK approved body to validate type testing reports issued by EU notified bodies for products already placed on the UK market under AVCP system 3.

A new regulatory goods regime now applies in Great Britain. This gives us an opportunity to make our regulations work in the best interests of consumers and businesses. Government is carefully considering the issue of whether to allow test reports issued by EU notified bodies under AVCP System 3 to be used in support of the UKCA mark. This would require amendments to our construction product regulations.
