Conclusion
The construction products regulatory regime envisaged in the Bill and accompanying documents fails to recognise that a single product may have more than one application and that it might be considered safety critical in one application but not in another. Further, this weakness in the regime could be exacerbated by the apparent intention to designate product families, rather than individual products, as safety critical.

Acknowledged
The Government is grateful to the Committee for recognising the importance of how construction products are effectively regulated. The Government considers, however, that the regulatory system for products does recognize that any single construction product may have multiple applications.
