The Building Code clauses C1 to C6 Protection from Fire relate to:

  • a) safeguard people from an unacceptable risk of injury or illness caused by fire,
  • b) protect other property from damage caused by fire, and
  • c) facilitate firefighting and rescue operations.

This Acceptable Solution C/AS2 is one of three Acceptable Solutions that provide a means of establishing compliance with NZBC Clauses C1 to C6 Protection from Fire. It can be used for the building activities covered by risk groups specified in Paragraph 1.1.1 and described in Table 1.1.

For risk group SH, please refer to Acceptable Solution C/AS1.

Appendices to this Acceptable Solution are part of, and have equal status to, the Acceptable Solution.

Figures and risk group icons are informative only; the wording of the paragraphs takes precedence.
