Building Control Technical Guidance Note 18, published in 2014 and revised in 2015, was produced by the Building Control Alliance (BCA). The BCA is not a body designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of section 6 of the Building Act 1984 nor was the document approved by him. BCA technical guidance notes are intended to provide information, promote good practice and encourage consistency of interpretation.
