TESTING
Tel 0870 803 2271Pre-Completion TestingThe latest amendment to the Building Regulations (2002 )brought in new requirements for builders to arrange for appropriate Pre-Completion Testing for sound insulation between dwellings, in order to demonstrate that the new performance standards required by Part E are being met on site. Pre-Completion Testing is intended as a checking procedure to ensure that the new performance standards are met on site for all separating wall and floor constructions.
Pre-Completion Testing is not required for the division of space (e.g. internal walls/partitions between living spaces, corridors, stairwells or hallways).
See Requirements for Pre-Completion Testing for further details.
For new build houses and apartments only, builders now have the option of using Robust Details as an alternative to Pre-Completion Testing, but for other buildings with rooms for residential purposes (see 'choosing a method'), Pre-completion Testing remains the only route for the builder to demonstrate compliance with the regulations.
