Building Regulations Advisory Committee

The Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) was an advisory non-departmental public body of the government of the United Kingdom.

The Building Regulations Advisory Committee was a statutory advisory body that the Secretary of State consulted on proposals to make or change building regulations. In addition the Committee provided expert advice to the Secretary of State on building regulations or related matters. This includes for example the health and safety, welfare and convenience of people in and around buildings; energy conservation and the sustainability of buildings.

It was officially replaced by the Building Advisory Committee (BAC) and the new Industry Competence Committee (ICC) and both help the Building Safety Regulator to meet its duty to keep the safety and standards of all buildings.[1]
