A summary report is submitted by the Code Assessor to the Code Service Provider for quality assurance and certification.

All proposed sites, dwellings and developments requiring an assessment should be registered with the Code Assessors accreditation body as early as possible. A proposed development can only be registered against the current version of the Code.
