It is down to the individual EU TAB whether or not to use data generated by a UK Approved Body as part of the issue of an ETA. If the applicant wishes to have an ETA based on a UKTA and the supporting technical assessment, then the BBA can speak directly to an appropriate EU TAB, preferably at the time of contract preparation to ensure the suitability/acceptance of data.
Building Regulations and guidance have been amended across the UK several times during 2022, mainly covering fire safety, energy economy and ventilation.
BBA Certificates are to be updated to allow for these new requirements, but users should be aware that this will take some time and that, in the meantime, the Regulations quoted and the associated comments may not be valid. This does not affect the performance characteristics quoted in Certificates and potential users should ensure that these parameters enable a product to satisfy the requirements of the current Regulations.
