Scottish Government

Scottish Ministers are responsible for Building Standards in Scotland with the key purpose of protecting the public interest, creating Building Regulations and preparing technical guidance to ensure buildings are safe, efficient and sustainable for all.

Both the domestic and non domestic 2011 Technical Handbooks have now been consolidated to include publication errata and the changes brought about by the Building (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011. These versions now include the new Section 7: Sustainability alongside minor changes to the technical guidance.

The registration details for Approved Certifiers and Approved Bodies held on the Certification Register cannot be updated due to an ongoing technical problem. Work is underway to fix the Certification Register but in the meantime the Certification Scheme Membership Lists provided should be used to check the validity of a certificate and also to find an Approved Certifier to work on a project. Please note that contact should be made with the Certification Co-ordinator at an Approved Body to request the services of an Approved Certifier.

The membership lists will be updated frequently until the Certification Register is fully operational again.

How to use the Certification Scheme Membership Lists

Open the list of Approved Certifiers and Approved Bodies for the relevant certification scheme and use the search function or Ctrl F keys to open a "Find" window. Enter the registration number or name to find the registration details.
