The committee was originally formed in 1943 as the Design and Construction Panel by the Air Registration Board. It changed its name to the Design and Construction Committee in 1965 and became the Technical Committee of the Airworthiness Requirements Board when the Civil Aviation Authority's Airworthiness Division took over the functions of the Air Registration Board in 1972.

The committee is concerned with the technical aspects of airworthiness requirements. Its terms of reference are to consider proposals made by the authority to add to or amend British Civil Airworthiness Requirements and to advise the authority accordingly; to consider in detail any technical matter that may be referred to it by the authority or which the committee may wish to bring to the attention of the authority.
