On October 23, 2026, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) published its Disciplinary and Sanctions Procedure for registered building inspectors (RBIs) and building control approvers (RBCAs). This procedure outlines how the BSR will enforce professional conduct rules established under the Building Safety Act 2022. The process consists of two stages: an initial review by a disciplinary officer, followed by a potential referral to a disciplinary panel. The BSR is tasked with proving professional misconduct based on its enforcement policy and the established Codes of Conduct. The procedure applies to both England and Wales, and aims to ensure compliance with updated Professional Conduct Rules (PCRs) and Codes. The BSR has committed to concluding investigations as quickly as possible, though no specific timelines are provided. The publication of this procedure is a significant step in enhancing the regulatory framework for building control professionals.
