BSRIA has published Building services legislation: a directory of UK and EC regulations 6th edition.

The further information section of the directory lists some explanatory documents and guidance and also refers to sources of information on legal matters and laws and regulations as they come into force. It also gives sources of information about European law which will increasingly affect the UK.
