Recommendation 21

The evidence we received clearly indicates that it should be the regulator—and not building owners—who decides whether a building needs a fire risk assessment. As such, we recommend that the Building Safety Regulator decides whether a building needs a fire risk assessment; sets the standard that a building need to meet; sets out the methodology for undertaking assessments; and provides a review process which enables consistency of decisions.
