Construction Product Testing Review
Monday 26th April 2021
The Government has appointed former Chief Construction Adviser Paul Morrell OBE to chair an independent review of the system for testing construction products, with support from legal expert Anneliese Day QC. Announced earlier this year as part of improving building safety following the Grenfell Tower fire, the review will examine how to strengthen the current system for testing and certifying construction products to provide confidence that they are safe and perform as marketed. The review is not limited to products intended for use in high‐rise residential buildings and will seek evidence from a range of stakeholders before submitting recommendations to Government in summer 2021.
