FAQs - Registered Details
Q: What is the LABC Registered Details Scheme?A: Registered Details it is a scheme which enable developers, architects, designers, technical specifies and contractors to register or use existing design details to minimise the building control checking and approvals process. You may know Registered Details by its old name, Type Approval. Q: What is the benefit of having something registered with LABC?A: Registered Details enables all Local Authority Building Control Surveyors to share technical details with each other. This means that once a Registration has been given, it will be recognised by all LABC surveyors in England and Wales. The scheme is specifically designed for use within the LABC network. The benefit for our customers is that the use of Registered Details streamlines Building Regulations applications saving time and money. LABC is not a testing house and does not provide certification - in fact, submissions will be required to demonstrate technical performance and achievement of recognised standards by supplying test certificates and other proofs of performance. Through Registered Details, LABC will measure a design, system or solution against the Building Regulations and judge whether, if used correctly in the defined way, compliance with the Building Regulations will be achieved.
