Regulation library

Laws, regulations and standards

A planning and building site

Everything RIA operates under, in one index. Each entry states whether it is in force, amended or repealed.

How this library is organised

Documents are grouped by type: laws and ministerial orders, RIA's internal regulations, the code of ethics, technical guidance and standards. Repealed instruments stay in the library with their status marked and a link to what replaced them, because work done under an old instrument may still be assessed under it.

Relying on the library

A document with no status is a document nobody can rely on

Every entry here carries a status and the date it took effect, so members and clients can tell at a glance whether an instrument still governs.
