THE APPROVED DOCUMENTS
This document is one of a series that has beenapproved by the First Secretary of State for thepurpose of providing practical guidance withrespect to the requirements of Schedule 1 to andRegulation 7 of the Building Regulations 2000 (SI2000/2531) for England and Wales. SI 2000/2531 has been amended by the Building (Amendment)Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/3335 ), by the Building(Amendment) Regulations 2002 (SI 2002/440), by
the Building (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations2002 (SI 2001/2871), by the Building (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2692) and by the Building (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (SI 2004/1465).
At the back of this document is a list of all thedocuments that have been approved and issuedby the Secretary of State for this purpose.
Approved Documents are intended to provideguidance for some of the more common
building situations. However, there may well bealternative ways of achieving compliance withthe requirements. Thus there is no obligation toadopt any particular solution contained in an Approved Document if you prefer to meet therelevant requirement in some other way.
Other requirements
The guidance contained in an Approved
Document relates only to the particularrequirements of the Regulations which thatdocument addresses. The building work willalso have to comply with the requirements ofany other relevant paragraphs in Schedule 1to the Regulations.
There are Approved Documents which giveguidance on each of the parts of Schedule 1and on Regulation 7.
LIMITATION ON REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with regulation 8, the requirementsin Parts A to K and N of Schedule 1 to theBuilding Regulations do not require anythingto be done except for the purpose of securing

THE WORKPLACE (HEALTH,
SAFETY AND WELFARE)
REGULATIONS 1992
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)Regulations 1992 contain some requirementswhich affect building design. The mainrequirements are now covered by the BuildingRegulations, but for further information see:Workplace health, safety and welfare, TheWorkplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)Regulations 1992, Approved Code of Practice and Guidance; The Health and Safety
Commission, L24; Published by HMSO 1992;ISBN 0 11886 333 9.
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)Regulations 1992 apply to the common partsof flats and similar buildings if people such ascleaners and caretakers are employed to workin these common parts. Where the requirementsof the Building Regulations that are covered bythis Part do not apply to dwellings, the provisions
may still be required in the situations describedabove in order to satisfy the Workplace Regulations.
OTHER FORMS OF HOUSE
CONSTRUCTION
This Approved Document includes guidance onstructural elements of residential buildings oftraditional masonry construction. It is recognised,
however, that there are other suitable forms ofconstruction in use in the housing sector some ofwhich (e.g. timber framed) have been in commonuse for a number of years and have demonstratedan adequate performance in compliance with the A1 requirement. Such alternative forms includeprefabricated timber, light steel and precastconcrete framed construction.
A number of guidance documents relating to
these alternative forms are presently beingdeveloped by industry. The intention is toreference these in this Approved Documentas soon as they become available and areapproved by the Secretary of State.

Introduction
0.1 In the Secretary of State’s view therequirements of A1 and A2 will be met byfollowing the recommendations given in thedocuments listed in Section 1 or by adoptingthe guidance in Sections 2-4:
a. Section 1 is relevant to all building typesand lists Codes, Standards and otherreferences for structural design andconstruction but, where they do not give
precise guidance, consideration shouldbe given to paragraph 0.2.
b. Section 2 give sizes of structural elementsfor certain residential buildings and othersmall buildings of traditional construction.
c. Section 3 gives guidance on the supportand fixing of wall cladding.
d. Section 4 gives guidance where roofs are
to be re-covered as a material alteration asdefined in the Regulations.
0.2 The safety of a structure depends on thesuccessful combination of design and completedconstruction, particularly:
a. The design should be based on identificationof the hazards to which the structure is likelyto be subjected and assessment of the risks.
The selection of relevant critical situationsfor design should be made reflecting theconditions that can reasonably be foreseenduring future use.
b. Loading. Dead load, imposed load and windload should be in accordance with the currentCodes of Practice referred to in Section 1 ofthis document.
c. Properties of materials.
d. Detailed design and assembly ofthe structure.
e. Safety factors.
f. Workmanship.

Ground movement
(Requirement A2b)
1.9 There may be known or recorded
conditions of ground instability, such as thatarising from landslides, disused mines orunstable strata which, if ignored, can have adevastating effect on the safety of a buildingand its environs. Such conditions should betaken into account in the design of the buildingand its foundations. Attention is drawn to DOEPlanning Policy Guidance Note 14 Developmenton unstable land (obtainable from The StationeryOffice), which sets out the broad planning andtechnical issues relating to development onunstable land.
The Department has also sponsored a seriesof reviews aimed at determining the scale andnature of problems arising from mining instability,natural underground cavities and adversefoundation conditions.

Section 2A: Basic requirements for
2A1 This section must be used in conjunctionwith sections 2B and 2C and its principles relate
to all forms of low-rise residential buildings.
2A2 Adequate provision shall be made toensure that the building is stable under the likelyimposed and wind loading conditions. This willcommonly necessitate meeting the followingrequirements:
a. That the overall size and proportioningof the building are limited in accordance
with the specific guidance for each form ofconstruction.
b. That a suitable layout of walls (both internaland external) forming a robust 3 dimensionalbox structure in plan is constructed withrestriction on the maximum size of cellsmeasured in accordance with the specificguidance for each form of construction.
c. That the internal and external walls are
adequately connected either by masonrybonding or by using mechanical connections.
d. That the intermediate floors and roof are ofsuch construction and interconnection withthe walls that they provide local supportto the walls and also act as horizontaldiaphragms capable of transferring the windforces to buttressing elements of the building.
Note: A traditional cut timber roof (i.e. usingrafters, purlins and ceiling joists) generally hassufficient built in resistance to instability andwind forces (e.g. from hipped ends, tiling battens,rigid sarking or the like). However, the needfor diagonal rafter bracing equivalent to thatrecommended in BS 5268-3:1998 or Annex H ofBS 8103-3:1996 for trussed rafter roofs shouldbe considered especially for single-hipped andnon-hipped roofs of greater than 40° pitch to
detached houses.

Section 2C: Thickness of walls in cesmall buildings
Application2C1 This section applies to the followingbuilding types:
a. residential buildings of not more thanthree storeys;
b. small single-storey non-residentialbuildings;
c. small buildings forming annexes toresidential buildings (including garagesand outbuildings).
Wall types
2C2 Only the types of wall given in Table 2,which must extend to the full storey height, andparapet walls are considered in this section.
The use of this section2C3 When using this section it should benoted that:
a. this section must be used in conjunctionwith Section 2A;
b. if wall thickness is to be determinedaccording to paragraphs 2C5 to 2C13, allappropriate design conditions given in this
section must be satisfied;
c. walls should comply with the relevantrequirements of BS 5628: Part 3: 2001, exceptas regards the conditions given in paragraphs2C4 and 2C14 to 2C38;
d. in formulating the guidance of this section theworst combination of circumstances likely toarise was taken into account. If a requirement
of this part is considered too onerous in aparticular case it may be appropriate toconsider a minor departure on the basisof judgement and experience, or to showadequacy by calculation in respect of theaspect of the wall which is subject to thedeparture rather than for the entire wall;

General
3.1 Wall cladding presents a hazard if itbecomes detached from the building. Thissection provides guidance on the supportand fixing of wall cladding. An acceptablelevel of safety can be achieved by differentmeans depending on the type and location ofthe cladding. The guidance given relates toall forms of cladding, including curtain wallingand glass facades. It is not intended to provideguidance concerning the weather resistance
of wall cladding which is included in ApprovedDocument C, Site preparation and resistance tomoisture, or guidance on resistance to spread offire which is included in Approved Document B,Fire safety, or guidance in relation to soundinsulation, which is included in ApprovedDocument E, Resistance to the passageof sound.
Technical approach
3.2 The cladding will meet the safetyrequirement if:
a. the cladding is capable of safely sustainingand transmitting to the supporting structureof the building all dead, imposed and windloads, and
b. the cladding is securely fixed to andsupported by the structure of the building.This shall comprise both vertical supportand horizontal restraint, and
c. provision is made, where necessary, toaccommodate differential movement of thecladding and the supporting structure of thebuilding, and
d. the cladding and its fixings (includingany support components) are of durable
materials; the design life of the fixings beingnot less than that of the cladding. Fixingsshall be corrosion resistant and of a materialtype appropriate for the local environment.

Materials
4.1 All materials used to cover roofs,
including transparent or translucent materials,but excluding windows of glass in residentialbuildings with roof pitches of not less than15°, shall be capable of safely withstandingthe concentrated imposed loads upon roofsspecified in BS 6399: Part 3.
Re-covering of roofs
4.2 The re-covering of roofs is commonlyundertaken to extend the useful life of buildings.Roof structures may be required to carryunderdrawing or insulation provided at a timelater than their initial construction. This sectionprovides guidance on determining whether suchwork to a roof constitutes a material alterationunder the Building Regulations.
4.3 Where the work involves a significantchange in the applied loading the structuralintegrity of the roof structure and the supportingstructure should be checked to ensure thatupon completion of the work the building is notless compliant with Requirement A1 than theoriginal building.
4.4 A significant change in roof loading iswhen the loading upon the roof is increased bymore than 15%.
4.5 Where such checking of the existing roofstructure indicates that the construction is unableto sustain any proposed increase in loading (e.g.due to overstressed members or unacceptabledeflection leading to ponding), appropriatestrengthening work or replacement of roofingmembers should be undertaken. This is classifiedas a material alteration.
4.6 In carrying out the checks mentioned in
paragraph 4.3 an increase of stress in a structuralmember arising from increased loading doesnot necessarily indicate that the roof structure isless compliant than the original roof provided anadequate factor of safety is maintained.

In the Secretary of State’s view the Requirement
of A3 will be met by an appropriate choiceof measures to reduce the sensitivity of abuilding to disproportionate collapse shouldan accident occur.
Introduction

Section 5: Reducing the sensitivbuilding to disproportionate coll
event of an accident5.1 The requirement will be met byadopting the following approach for ensuringthat the building is sufficiently robust tosustain a limited extent of damage or failure,depending on the class of the building,without collapse.
a. Determine the building class from Table 11.
b. For Class 1 buildings – Provided thebuilding has been designed and constructedin accordance with the rules given in this Approved Document, or other guidancereferenced under Section 1, for meetingcompliance with requirement A1 and A2 innormal use, no additional measures are likelyto be necessary.

Alternatively, check that upon the notionalremoval of each supporting column and eachbeam supporting one or more columns, or anynominal length of load-bearing wall (one at atime in each storey of the building), the building
remains stable and that the area of floor at anystorey at risk of collapse does not exceed 15%of the floor area of that storey or 70m2, whicheveris smaller, and does not extend further than theimmediate adjacent storeys (see Diagram 24).
Where the notional removal of such columnsand lengths of walls would result in an extent ofdamage in excess of the above limit, then suchelements should be designed as a ‘key element’
as defined in paragraph 5.3 below.e. For Class 3 buildings – A systematic
risk assessment of the building should beundertaken taking into account all the normalhazards that may reasonably be foreseen,together with any abnormal hazards.
Critical situations for design should be selectedthat reflect the conditions that can reasonablybe foreseen as possible during the life of thebuilding. The structural form and concept andany protective measures should then be chosenand the detailed design of the structure andits elements undertaken in accordance withthe recommendations given in the Codes andStandards given in paragraph 5.2.
5.2 Details of the effective horizontal andvertical ties, together with the design approachesfor checking the integrity of the building followingthe notional removal of vertical members andthe design of key elements, are available in thefollowing Codes and Standards:
