Office for Product Safety & Standards (OPSS)

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is the UK regulator for construction products and most consumer goods; we are part of the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). For construction products we act on behalf of and are funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), which is responsible for construction products policy. We lead on the delivery of construction products regulation. Our purpose is to ensure the claimed performance requirements of construction products are met, to enable safer, better buildings across the UK.
