Regulation 6 Applicable percentage for the quarter beginning on 1st April 2023
Except in the case of an undertaker to which regulation 9 applies, the applicable percentage of an undertaker’s total number of reckonable units of inspection for the quarter beginning on 1st April 2023 is—
30 per cent in a case where an undertaker has a failure rate lower than 15 per cent, or
50 per cent in a case where an undertaker has a failure rate of 15 per cent or higher.
In this regulation, “failure rate” is the percentage of an undertaker’s chargeable inspections of works which, in the year which began on 1st April 2022, failed to comply with the standard set out in whichever of the Reinstatement Code of Practice or the Safety Code of Practice was applicable to the inspection category.
For the purposes of paragraph (2), an inspection is deemed to have failed to comply with the standard where the undertaker and the street authority have agreed that the standard was not met.
