Under the clause, building materials, components and construction methods are required to be sufficiently durable.  They must ensure that the building, without reconstruction or major renovation, continues to satisfy the other functional requirements of the Building Code throughout its life. B2 specifies minimum durability periods building elements must meet with only normal maintenance, being not less than 50, 15 or 5 years.
