The department keeps building regulations under constant review. Policy is developed on the basis of a range of research and expert advice. On 18 December 2018 the Government published a Call for Evidence for a wider Technical Review of Approved Document B. The review will address fire safety issues for all types of buildings. Responses to the call for evidence are invited by 1 March.
