This is your opportunity to have input into the second amendment of Building Product Specifications.
MBIE is seeking your feedback on product standards that are proposed to be included in the second amendment of the Building Product Specifications.
The Building Product Specifications is one of three new pathways implemented by MBIE to enable a greater range of building products to be used more easily in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Products that comply with a standard cited in the Building Product Specifications and are used in building work that complies with an acceptable solution or verification method, must be accepted by building consent authorities.
Products must be used as intended and within the scope of the relevant acceptable solution or verification method.
The second amendment of the Building Product Specifications contains additional standards and specifications for:
- Reinforcement of concrete
- Steel
- Timber (including wall bracing)
- Flashings
- Metal sheet products for roof and wall claddings, and flashings
