How do I ensure that I am using products that conform?
With the thousands of building products manufactured both in Australia and overseas, it can be difficult to know whether or not a building product or material will perform as required and will comply and/or conform with the
NCC
, standards and Australian laws.
There are a range of methods and schemes that can be used to test and prove that a building product or material is genuine and will do what it is made to do.
There are six (6) different types of substantiation or evidence that can be used to verify that a product conforms and complies with the NCC:
Certificate of Conformity by
CodeMark
or
WaterMark
Certificate of Accreditation from a State or Territory Accreditation authority
Certificate from an appropriately qualified person such as an engineer
Certificate from a product certification body accredited by
JAS-ANZ
Report registered by a registered testing authority
Other documentary evidence
For detailed information about compliance and conformity assessment, please refer to the Australasian Procurement and Construction Council
Guide to Procurement of Construction Products
.
Further information
The
Housing Industry Association
also has a number of information sheets that provide further detail about ensuring a product is fit for purpose.
NATSPEC
has developed a
National Construction Product Register
of products which have evidence of conformity to relevant Australian and international standards.
