The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
These Regulations amend the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”) (S.I. 2005/3208). The 2005 Regulations prescribe the method for assessing the seriousness of hazards of a prescribed description and accordingly whether a hazard is a category 1 or category 2 hazard for the purposes of Part 1 of the Housing Act 2004 (c. 34). This method takes into account both the likelihood of harm occurring and the severity of harm if it were to occur. The 2005 Regulations also prescribe fire hazards for the purposes of section 10 of that Act.
