LABSS Information Paper INFOP16 - 2016 Version 10 as Amended – Future shower space

LABSS would propose that; While it is recognised that deliberations are still ongoing within Government on reviewing design limitations for future shower areas, LABSS remain of the view that a phased introduction of this “tighter guidance on compliance” would benefit from close working with the BSD and to this end LABSS agreed, to sit on any joint working group convened by the Scottish Government to review this issue to ultimately provide clear guidance to allow verifiers and developers to move forward with confidence. A 3-year period of grace was agreed before enforcing any new provisions and it is proposed such period of grace be extended for a further year to allow the working group to reach a conclusion on this topic. This would also allow LABSS to inform their STAS Certificate holders and the housing industry of the change of emphasis.
