Building Assessment Certificate

A building assessment certificate, issued by the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) or a designated competent authority, confirms the thorough assessment of a higher-risk building's safety risks and its compliance with the Building Safety Act and associated regulations. This document serves as proof of the building's safety for occupancy, verifying adherence to fire safety, structural integrity, and other relevant standards. It may also detail identified risks, recommended mitigation measures, and ongoing monitoring requirements. Essential for building owners or managers, obtaining this certificate demonstrates regulatory compliance and ensures occupant safety. Failure to acquire or maintain a valid certificate may lead to regulatory action by the BSR, including enforcement notices or penalties, to address deficiencies and mitigate safety risks.
