The first set of national building standards was introduced in 1965. Now known as the building regulations, they set out:
*What qualifies as ‘building work’ and so fall under the control of the regulations.
*What types of buildings are exempt (such as temporary buildings).
*The notification procedures that must be followed when starting, carrying out, and completing building work.
*Requirements for specific aspects of building design and construction.

Part D of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations requires that, ‘If insulating material is inserted into a cavity in a cavity wall, reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent the subsequent permeation of any toxic fumes from that material into any part of the building occupied by people.’

A series of approved documents provide general guidance on how specific aspects of building design and construction can comply with the Building Regulations.

[http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/buildingregulations/approveddocuments/partd/approved Approved Document D - Toxic Substances], provides guidance for complying with Part D. This relates the use of urea formaldehyde (UF) foam.

It suggests that ‘…insulating materials which give off formaldehyde fumes (either when used or later in normal use) may be used to insulate the cavity in a cavity wall where there is a continuous barrier which will minimise as far as practicable the passage of fumes to the occupiable parts.’

It provides the following technical solution:

A cavity wall may be insulated with UF foam where:
*the inner leaf of the wall is built of masonry (bricks or blocks); and
*the suitability of the wall for foam filling is assessed before the work is carried out in accordance with BS 8208-1:1985 Guide to assessment of suitability of external cavity walls for filling with thermal insulants. Existing

*and outer leaves; and
