The government has published two major consultations that will reshape the regulation of construction products across the UK. The Construction Products Reform White Paper sets out plans for a fundamental overhaul of the construction products regime, while the General Safety Requirement (GSR) consultation proposes new legally enforceable safety duties for every business in the supply chain.
Together, these reforms represent the most significant changes to construction product regulation in a generation. Both consultations close on 20 May 2026.
If you have colleagues who should attend, including technical leads, compliance staff or senior leaders, please share this event with them.
