The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities DLUHC has published an index of Building Regulations and Approved Documents, merged and as a singular document.

The Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety led by Dame Judith Hackitt made a number of recommendations to enhance the safety of buildings, including to reinstate an enhanced Manual to the Building Regulations (PDF, 8.94 MB, 62 pages) and to publish a fully searchable PDF of all Approved Documents.

This new edition of the manual has been designed to be clear and useful for a range of audiences, and is split into two volumes: an accessible overview and a more detailed set of guidance, it fullfills the recommendation of the review.

The key features of the merged Approved Documents enable the user to do a number of things:

* undertake a word search across all of the approved documents
* cut and paste text and diagrams into other documents
* add notes to a saved copy
* use an index to access individual sections of the guidance

The main changes in the March 2023to this edition of the Approved Documents includes:

* Approved Document B Volume 1 – Fire safety – Dwellings, 2019 edition incorporating 2020 and 2022 amendments
* Approved Document B Volume 2 – Fire safety – Buildings other than dwellings, 2019 edition incorporating 2020 and 2022 amendments
* Approved Document J – Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems, 2010 edition with 2010, 2013 and 2022 amendments
* Approved Document L Volume 1 – Conservation of fuel and power – Dwellings, 2022 edition with 2023 amendments
* Approved Document L Volume 2 – Conservation of fuel and power – Buildings other than dwellings, 2022 edition with 2023 amendments
* Approved Document R volume 1 – Physical infrastructure and network connection for new dwellings, 2022 edition
* Approved Document R volume 2 – Physical infrastructure for high-speed electronic communications networks, 2022 edition

These approved documents took effect on the dates stated in the individual documents, for use in England.
