The significant amount and types of building work subject to the Building Regulations cannot be practicably accommodated within the traditional building control framework. Competent Person Schemes (CPS) are a mechanism to allow registered installers who have been assessed as competent to self-certify that their building work complies with the regulations. This removes the burden for installers and consumers having to notify the work to a building control body in advance and pay a charge for the building control body to check the work. Competent Person Schemes therefore provide an alternative, cost effective and deregulatory means of ensuring compliance with the Building Regulations. DCLG proposes to extend the scope of some existing Competent Person Schemes to cover further types of work where the incidence of risk justifies this approach.
