The Rooflight Association has updated its Quick Guide 06 to help industry stakeholders navigate key compliance checkpoints on rooflight projects.
The association said the document highlights key requirements for fire safety, thermal performance, daylighting, non-fragility and security. New for 2026, it now covers Requirements under the Construction Products Regulations and signposts associated guidance for further reading.
Fire safety guidance has been updated to reflect the relevant changes to the Building Regulations for rooflights. The Requirements for Thermal Performance now references the methods of the BRE 443 document. Furthermore, industry-accepted standards ACR[M]001 and CWCT TN67 have been added to the Rooflights and Non-Fragility section.
The Rooflight Association said Requirements under the Construction Products Regulations is the most notable addition. This lists the applicable harmonised standards for rooflight products. Details from the association’s ‘The Benefits of Rooflights for the Daylighting of Buildings’ white paper have been added to the Requirements for Daylighting.
Paul Smith, technical chair for The Rooflight Association, said: “As the voice of the UK’s rooflight industry, we have a responsibility to provide clear, practical guidance that reflects the latest regulatory landscape. With the addition of Construction Products Regulation requirements alongside established fire, thermal and safety standards, this updated Quick Guide provides a brief overview of the critical considerations surrounding rooflights and regulatory compliance, some of which are commonly overlooked during the specification and procurement of rooflights.
“Its main purpose, however, is to signpost formal and detailed guidance for each subject, to promote good practice and help supply chain partners make the right decision when it comes to rooflights, from specification through to installation.”
