Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Building Regulations (Fire Safety): Discussion

Ms Sarah Neary:

Mr. O'Dowd mentioned the construction products regulation. It regulates all of the rules around the marketing of construction products on the market. We need to conform with European assessment methods in relation to any performance requirement. We cannot bring in regulations or further requirements on products in advance of going through the standardisation process.
