This PAS specifies competence thresholds that individuals are expected to meet when delivering or managing the dutyholder functions of the Principal Designerdutyholder role in alignment with BSI FLEX 8670.
This PAS specifies the Principal Designer dutyholder’s areas of competence as:
  1. a) behavioural competence;
  2. b) legislative and regulatory framework for compliance;
  3. c) management of design workcompliance; and
  4. d) technical framework for compliance.
This PAS also specifies:
  1. 1) the minimum competence thresholds needed by Principal Designers to manage Principal Designerdutyholder functions; and
  2. 2) the additional competence thresholds needed to work on HRBs.
This PAS is for use by anyone interested in understanding the competence thresholds for managing the dutyholder functions of the Principal Designerdutyholder role. This includes people in the UK’s legislatures with devolved powers and, indeed, in countries outside of the UK.
This PAS is for use by persons assessing Principal Designer competence, including awarding bodies, professional institutions, education and training providers, and certification bodies. It is intended to help them to create or adapt relevant domain-specific (i.e. sector-, discipline- or role-specific) competence frameworks in a way that matches the needs of their particular cohorts.
This PAS can also be used by built environment designer organizations to evaluate staff members and by individual designers to understand their own competence to work as a Principal Designer.
This PAS can also be used by those connected to the delivery and governance of the built environment, including clients and other dutyholders, the Building Safety Regulator and other enforcing authorities, relevant accreditation bodies, relevant government departments, and insurers.
Annex A includes information and guidance for competence assessors and awarding bodies, and for reviewing existing competence.
Annex B sets out how the PAS maps to BSI FLEX 8670.
This PAS does not cover:
  1. i) guidance about how to comply with or interpret legislation related to the Principal Designerdutyholder role;
  2. ii) the competence thresholds for the CDM Principal Designerdutyholder role;
  3. iii) requirements for the organizational capability that allows Organization Principal Designers to fulfil the Principal Designerdutyholder role;
  4. iv) learning pathways for individuals to meet the minimum competence thresholds;
  5. v) systems for assessing competence; or
  6. vi) individuals’ required prior learning, or eligibility criteria in the form of qualifications.
