The designated body maintains the approved inspectors register. It notifies every local authority in whose area the building regulations apply if any inspectors approval is withdrawn.
The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) is the designated body to approve inspectors in England and Wales from 5 April 2024, replacing the Construction Industry Council Approved Inspectors Register (CICAIR). This designation ends on 1 October 2024.
Approved inspectors can only operate until October 2024 and can only finish work started before April 2024. Any new work since April 2024 must be overseen by a registered building control approver or local authority building control; or in the case of higher-risk buildings by BSR.
All references in the documents to CICAIR should be read as BSR.
