That there should be such an external check by a regulator.

(4) Consideration should be given to the proposal of SF&R that the smoke and fire integrity of compartments (which would include but would not be limited to the presence and effectiveness of dampers, if so fitted) be subject to expert certification in the same way as the electrical installation is certified.

Ronald Hill, 25 June 2010, pp113-114; Production 1942; Joanne MacDougall, 28 June 2010, am, pp45-48 Brian Sweeney, 12 July 2010, pm, p65; Production 1942; THEREFORE I recommend, if the guidance is to remain in force, it ought to be amended to reflect as accurately as possible, the approach taken by the Care Commission, as evidenced by Ronald Hill and Jacqueline Roberts, to their statutory responsibilities under the 2001 Act and 2002 Regulations.

I recommend that the Scottish Government give careful attention to the following proposals: (i) Whether, when an architect signs an application for a completion certificate on behalf of a client, he should declare: (a) the basis on which he was employed in respect of the project and (b) the steps he has taken to ascertain the building has been completed in accordance with the Building Regulations and the terms of the warrant.

(ii) Whether there should be a more prescriptive regime of the steps required to be taken by Building control before pronouncing themselves satisfied that a building has been completed in accordance with the conditions on which the relevant warrant was granted.

There should be clarity between the potential regulators, namely the Health and Safety Executive, the Fire and Rescue Service, and the successor to the Care Commission (SCSWIS) as to who should carry out this task.
