Introduction

The Scottish Association of Building Standards Managers (SABSM) Scottish Type Approval Scheme (STAS) provides a fast track route to approval through the regulatory procedures for standard buildings, modular buildings or building systems. Local authorities throughout Scotland are members of the STAS.

In England and Wales, a similar service is provided through the Local Authority National Type Approval Confederation (LANTAC).

This brochure briefly explains the benefits of using STAS and how it can meet the needs of house builders, clients, architects; design engineers and system build manufacturers.
