Cladding - Single Building Assessments and additional work assessments: standards
The Single Building Assessment (SBA) standards set out the process that must be followed when undertaking assessment and if needed remediation for buildings as set out in section 32 of the Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Act 2024.
Audit
In addition to the compliance and assurance processes in place (as set out in these Standards), Scottish Ministers intend to conduct a proportionate level of audit, to allow them to assess how well the process is operating more broadly. This will cover both assessment and remedial works.
It is Scottish Ministers’ intention that audit of this kind will be carried out in relation to a proportion of buildings only and in advance of the Register being updated to state that Ministers are satisfied works have been carried out to these Standards.
Where an entry is to be audited, Scottish Ministers will indicate within 30 days of receiving notification that remedial works have been completed that they intend to conduct an audit. In doing so they will provide a maximum of 20 days’ written notice. A reasonable request to meet with Scottish Ministers/officials to discuss their approach to carrying out assessment and remediation may form part of the audit.
The audit will be undertaken or with input from a suitably experienced, qualified, independent and competent fire risk or external wall assessor.
Following completion of the audit, the Register will be updated ordinarily within 30 days.
