When the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) became law, it outlined what "higher-risk buildings" (HRBs) would be, making it clear that further law could follow on this.

This further law came into force as the Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023 (Regulations) in April 2023, setting out what HRBs are in more detail.
