The Building Safety Act 2022 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2023

The Building Safety Act 2022 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2023. Commencement orders are statutory instruments that bring provisions of a primary Act into force. This particular order was a significant one for the Building Safety Act 2022, as it brought into force the key sections creating the new building control regime for higher-risk buildings under the Building Safety Regulator. It specified the dates from which various parts of the new system, including the 'Gateways' process, would become law. These orders are critical legal instruments that manage the phased implementation of a major piece of legislation, providing clarity to the industry on when new rules apply. This page provides a structured summary, key provisions, and practical guidance on the application of BSA 2022 Commencement No. 3 Order to UK fire safety engineering, building design, and Building Safety Act compliance.
