Specifies requirements for the testing, interpretation of test results, and installation of penetration sealing systems and control joints sealing systems in fire-resistant elements of construction.

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how the BASIX engine works to estimate energy and water consumption in houses and apartments, and how these outputs can be used to inform design decisions.

Assists in understanding the energy efficiency provisions in NCC Volume One that apply to Class 2 apartment buildings.

This Policy is State Environmental Planning Policy (Sustainable Buildings) 2022. (NSW legislation.)

Sets out a test method for the determination of ignitability, heat release rates, mass loss rates, effective heat of combustion and smoke release of materials and products when exposed to controlled levels of radiant heating.

Sets out test procedures and criteria for the determination of fire-resistance of elements of building construction.

Describes a single test method for grading building materials on the basis of ignition tendency, flame spread, heat development and tendency to produce smoke.

Specifies requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of a system of sutomatic smoke/heat release vents in conjunction with associated smoke reservoirs in buildings.

Specifies a test method for determining the combustibility of building materials and is one of a series of test methods of evaluating the potential fire hazard of building products; the test is for building materials other than coated, faced or laminated materials which, although not completely inert, produce only a limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750 °C.
