Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Building Regulations (Fire Safety): Discussion
Ms Sarah Neary:
Yes, but anyone building in Ireland must meet Irish building regulations. All the work that goes into producing a CE mark is transferable into Ireland and is accepted as reliable information. Then, it is about assessing the information for compliance with the building regulations. Agrément certification carries out that function. A means of demonstrating is by going to Agrément and providing all the documentation. Agrément certification carries out an assessment to say what it complies with, what levels it can work to in Ireland and what exposure conditions, etc. That transposes into a ten- or 15-page document on how it can be used here
