Building Standards Advisory Committe

Introduction

This committee, established under the previous Scottish Building Act, has been continued by the 2003 Act but has been given a wider remit.

BSAC is required to report to the Scottish Ministers on aspects of the building standards system that may need attention. It considers developments in the industry, changes in public expectations or particular problems that arise. It must be consulted on all proposed amendments to legislation or guidance documents.

The intention of the committee is to provide expert advice to Ministers. The members are not selected to represent particular interests but for the experience and knowledge they personally can bring to the committee.

Details of the current membership of the committee are provided on the Scottish Government Public Appointments page.
