To demonstrate compliance with the Performance Requirements or Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of the National Construction Code, evidence can take various forms. These include formal certifications such as a CodeMark Australia Certificate of Conformity, a Certificate of Accreditation, or other certificates issued by recognised certification bodies confirming compliance with specific NCC requirements.
Reports from Accredited Testing Laboratories are also acceptable, provided they outline the tests conducted, results obtained, and other supporting information. These reports must demonstrate how the material, product, or construction method meets the specific requirements of the NCC and relevant Australian Standards.
Expert certifications from professional engineers or qualified individuals may also be submitted. These certifications should detail compliance with BCA requirements and reference relevant standards, codes, or practices used as the basis for their conclusions.
Additionally, alternative documentation such as Product Technical Statements can be used, as long as they demonstrate compliance and reference applicable standards or rules.
For calculation methods, evidence may include certificates from qualified professionals or other documentation showing compliance with Australian Building Codes Board ("ABCB") protocols and explaining the methodologies and standards applied. All evidence must clearly substantiate compliance with the NCC.
