Part Q compliance refers to adherence to Part Q of the UK Building Regulations – “Security: Dwellings” -which sets minimum standards for the security of doors and windows in new residential buildings and material alterations.
For windows, this means they must be robust, fitted with secure locking mechanisms (e.g., key-operated locks), and resist forced entry to a defined level (typically tested to PAS 24 or equivalent).
The planning approval process requires compliance to maintain safety standards for residential homes which makes it necessary for replacement windows in new construction and extension projects.
