BS 8670-2 doesn't ask for anything exotic — it asks you to know who can do what with construction products, prove it with evidence, and retrieve that proof on any date someone asks.
The firms that get this right won't just pass audits — they'll win the work. This checklist helps you see exactly where you stand before the standard lands in February 2027.
What the checklist covers
The five competence levels (A–E)
Who can specify, substitute and sign off product decisions — and who must work under supervision and relay information without interpreting it.
Scope of application
The difference between demonstrated and expanded scope, and why swapping one product for a "cheaper equivalent" is now a design decision, not a procurement shortcut.
The point-in-time golden thread
Why a spreadsheet can't answer the question that wins or loses the work: "what level was this person at on this date, and who signed it off?"
High-risk roles and CPD
Flagging high-risk roles, naming the subject-matter experts staff escalate to, and assuring the 10-hour CPD expectation.
Evidence for tenders and Gateway submissions
Producing audit-grade competence evidence in minutes for tier-one assurance requests, tenders and Gateway submissions.
