Schedule 5: Minor and consequential amendments in connection with Part 3 Paragraphs 9(6) and (8) and 10 Effect
These paragraphs amend the existing powers in sections 6 and 7 of the Building Act 1984 which deal with the approval or withdrawal of approval of documents for purposes of building regulations.
	New section 6(5A) clarifies that transitional provisions can be included within notices approving Approved Documents, and the amendments to section 7 confirm which version of an Approved Document will be relevant to any legal proceedings, where there has been a revision.
	Under section 6(8), the appropriate national authority may designate a body for the purposes of approving documents by way of making an order. New section 6(5B) states that a designated body must now obtain the consent of the appropriate national authority before approving a document or a revised document, or withdrawing an approval.
	New section 6(9) confirms that an order designating a body may specify that the designated body may only issue or approve documents which relate to buildings of a prescribed description, work of a prescribed description or prescribed provisions of building regulations.
