This edition supersedes all previous versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The September 2016 edition of ATTMA TSL1 provides updates that were requested by ATTMA &amp; IATS representatives&nbsp;and their members following meetings with the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have closed many loopholes that caused ambiguity in the industry and we hope this new test standard supports the industry going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no technical changes to the \u2018Approved Test Method\u2019, only clarifications. Some&nbsp;clarifications made are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We have amended some of the pre-ambles to reflect the current state of the industry<\/li><li>We have shown the test method in a better format, with a single page checklist that can be utilised, particularly by freshly trained engineers, alongside explanations of each part of the process (this was lacking in the 2010 edition).<\/li><li>What is, and is not, acceptable to temporarily seal (loopholes closed)<\/li><li>We have added an appendix that provides \u2018known data\u2019 to ensure the testers that write their own test software can check against correct figures, both positive and negative.<\/li><li>We have amended the reporting section to show that issuing a single page certificate is acceptable if you are a member of a recognised competent persons scheme.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be distributing this by email to all ATTMA members and by post to all Building Control Officers and Approved Inspectors, as well as a large PR campaign&nbsp;to promote not only the test standard but the worth of the industry. It would be helpful if you could make your contacts aware of the changes also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new document can be found by clicking here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/shop\/attma-technical-standard-l12016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">ATTMA TSL1 &#8211; September 2016 Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our scheme manager, Barry Cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kind regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Pickavance<br>Chairman of the ATTMA Board of Directors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Members, The ATTMA Trade Association is delighted to issue the latest version of ATTMA Technical Standard L1, September 2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[30,81],"class_list":["post-361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-attma","tag-technical-standard"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-08 08:48:56","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":801,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions\/801"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/attma\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
