BSI have just published PAS 2000:2026 – Construction products – Bringing safe products to market – Code of practice. PAS 2000 is free to download as it was sponsored by OPSS to align with expected changes to construction product reform.
PAS 2000:2026 | 28 Feb 2026 | BSI Knowledge
FIS was part of the drafting panel for this standard, and member feedback to the construction product reform Green Paper consultation last year was useful in helping to draft some of the proportionate measures outlined in the standard.
The PAS is intended to provide recommendations and guidance to manufacturers of any construction product placed on the UK market about measures they can adopt to demonstrate that their construction products are safe and fulfil their responsibilities as a manufacturer. It sets out what the manufacturer could reasonably be expected to do to assess the safety of their construction product for its intended use before it is placed on the market. It is applicable to all construction products and not only those covered by EU harmonised or UK designated standards.
The PAS covers risk assessment of the proposed construction product prior to it being placed on the market, including assessment processes, factory production control, provision of construction product information and the collection and use of market feedback, including safety critical incident reporting and investigation.
Compliance with this standard is voluntary, but suppliers will need to consider the possibility of PAS 2000 being used in specification documents.
