Description
Verification Method C/VM2 provides a means of compliance with Protection from Fire Clauses C1 to C6, the six Building Code clauses related to protecting people in and around buildings, limiting fire spread and helping firefighting and rescue.
It is a Verification Method for the specific design of buildings to demonstrate compliance with NZBC C1 to C6 Protection from Fire.
Scope
C/VM2 is suitable for use by professional fire engineers who are proficient in the use of fire engineering modelling methods.
There are some minor exceptions to ‘all buildings’, for example tunnels and open air stadia. Users should refer to the Commentary to this Verification Method for further information.
