Residents and building owners are set to benefit from a new code of practice for professionals assessing buildings’ external walls and cladding systems.
As part of ambitious reform of the building sector, the government has commissioned the British Standards Institution (BSI) to draft a new code of practice for assessors when examining external walls and cladding.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) has commission the British Standards Institution (BSI) to draft a new code of practice for assessors when examining external walls and cladding.
This will ensure external wall assessments are carried out to a high and consistent standard, giving building owners clarity on the fire risk of the construction of external walls.
The code of practice will help professionals provide consistent, risk-based and proportionate advice on whether remediation of the external walls is necessary.

Industrial Biotechnology has the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. By embedding biotechnology at the heart of industrial processes and products, it can help to support the government target of doubling the bioeconomy to £440 billion by 2030 and contribute to the UK plan to achieve net zero greenhouse emissions by 2050.
The new report identifies five industry sectors, with short to medium term potential for carbon reduction using industrial biotechnology: agritech; biofuels; fine and specialty chemicals; plastics; and textiles. It provides a roadmap to unlock this potential with recommendations grouped into four pathways: circular resources; communication tools; informed science-led approach; and a supportive level-playing field. The report suggests a combination of government support, agreement on good practice and private sector investment is needed to realize the potential of industrial biotechnology.
