O N L I N E V E R S I O N J WHAT IS AN APPROVED DOCUMENT? Responsibility for compliance It is important to remember that if you are the person (e.g. designer, builder, installer) carrying out building work to which any requirement of building regulations applies you have a responsibility to ensure that the work complies with any such requirement. The building owner may also have a responsibility for ensuring compliance with building regulation requirements and could be served with an enforcement notice in cases of non-compliance. The Manual to the Building Regulations gives an overview of the building regulatory system in England.
