3.3 Security

Minimum requirement - KBCN1606

The minimum requirement '02 Approved Document Q compliance' says crit. 2 is applicable to Wales. This is not correct. Crit 2 is only applicable to Northern Ireland. Projects in Northern Ireland must comply with Approved Document Q for England or Wales. This will be corrected in the next reissue of the technical manual.

Verification of Security Needs Assessments/Security Risk Assessments - KBCN1770

Where the author of a Security Needs Assessment [‘Security Risk Assessment’ in BIU] does not meet the BREEAM competency requirements, compliance can still be achieved where the report is reviewed and verified by a qualified SQSS [‘Competent Person’ in BIU], who confirms in writing that it is accurate, appropriate and in line with industry best practice. In these circumstances, the SQSS or ‘Competent Person’ is expected to verify and take ownership of the report and accept professional responsibility for its content.
