This found that the processes that drive compliance with building safety requirements are weak and complex with poor record keeping and change control. The final report proposed a new regulatory framework to '...address all of these weaknesses if there is to be a stronger focus on creating and maintaining safe buildings. It must strengthen regulatory oversight to create both positive incentives to comply with building safety requirements and to effectively deter noncompliance.'

In general, the term ‘compliance’ refers to acting according to an order, specification, rule, standard, request, and so on. ‘Regulatory compliance’ is the process by which organisations ensure that they are operating in full awareness of, and accordance with, all relevant regulations and legal requirements.

In financial terms, compliance involves operating in accordance with external rules imposed upon an organisation, as well as with internal systems of control that are designed to ensure compliance with the external rules. For example, making sure that financial reports and audits are published, that tax requirements are fully met, and so on.

It can also refer to manufacturers and suppliers of goods and services, who aim to meet the requirements of a contract, standards, best practice guidelines, legislation, and so on.

Construction products and materials are subject to rigorous testing to verify that they comply with the required specification, and often receive certification to illustrate that they do, and demonstrate compliance with legislative requirements such as the Buildings Regulations. For more information, see Testing construction materials.

In terms of construction, tender bids made by prospective contractors or suppliers will be evaluated first and foremost on whether they comply with the client’s requirements. A non-compliant proposal, sometimes referred to as a variant bid, may be submitted if the tenderer believes that an alternative to what has been requested by the client could offer better value for money and/or is a more innovative solution. Non-compliant proposals should only be submitted if they have been requested or are explicitly permitted by the client.
