Scope

This is the first edition of the Building Product Specifications. It contains specifications and standards for building products that are already known and used, such as windows, timber and cladding. 

The Building Products Specifications will:

• provide more choice of building products for use in Building Code compliant work
• incorporate a wider range of New Zealand and international standards into building compliance pathways (acceptable solutions and verification methods)
• make it easier and faster to add, update and modify building product standards in the Building Code system.
