| Part A2 Compliance with the NCC | This Part explains the possible methods of demonstrating compliance with the NCC. It explains the various compliance pathways within the NCC and the appropriate steps that must be taken for each of these pathways |
| A2G1 Compliance - Compliance with the NCC is achieved by complying with— | a) the Governing Requirements of the NCC; and b) thePerformance Requirements |
| A2G1 Compliance - Performance Requirements are satisfied by one of the following: | a) Performance Solution b) Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution c) A combination of a) and b) |
| Performance Requirements = | WHAT outcome we want |
| Deemed-to-Satisfy solution and Performance solution = | HOW to do it |
| Part A2 Compliance with the NCC - A2G2 Performance Solution - A Performance Solution is achieved by demonstrating— | a) compliance with all relevant Performance Requirements; or b) the solution is at least equivalent to the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions |
| A Performance Solution must be shown to comply with the relevant Performance Requirements following Assessment Methods (a): | Evidence of suitability in accordance with Part A5 that shows the use of material, product, plumbing and drainage product, form of construction or design meets the relevant Performance Requirements |

| A Performance Solution must be shown to comply with the relevant Performance Requirements following Assessment Methods (c): | Expert Judgement |
| A Performance Solution must be shown to comply with the relevant Performance Requirements following Assessment Methods (d): | Comparison with the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions |
| A2G2 Performance Solution - Verification methods | 1) Calculations 2)Tests 3)Inspections |
| Part A2 Compliance with the NCC - A2G3 Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution (1) | A solution that complies with the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions is deemed to have met the Performance Requirements |
| Part A2 Compliance with the NCC - A2G3 Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution (2) - A Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution can show compliance with the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions through one or more of the following Assessment Methods: | a) Evidence of suitability in accordance with Part A5 that shows the use of a material, product, plumbing and drainage product, form of construction or design meets a Deemed-to-Satisfy Provision b) Expert Judgement |
| Performance Requirements may be satisfied by using a combination of... | Performance Solutions and Deemed-to-Satisfy Solutions |
| When using a combination of solutions, compliance can be shown through the following, as appropriate: | a) A2G2 for assessment against the relevant Performance Requirements b) A2G3 for assessment against the relevant Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions |
| Where a Performance Requirement is satisfied by a Performance Solution in combination with a Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution, in order to comply with (1), methods must be used to determine the | Performance Requirement or Performance Requirements relevant to the Performance Solution |
| The following method must be used to determine the Performance Requirement or Performance Requirements relevant to the Performance Solution 1) | Identify the relevant Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of each Section or Part that are to be the subject of the Performance Solution |
| The following method must be used to determine the Performance Requirement or Performance Requirements relevant to the Performance Solution 2) | Identify the Performance Requirements form the same Sections or Parts that are relevant to the identified Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions |
| The following method must be used to determine the Performance Requirement or Performance Requirements relevant to the Performance Solution - Identify Performance Requirements from other Sections or Parts that are relevant to any | aspects of any Performance Solution proposed or that are affected by the application of the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions that are the subject of the Performance Solution. |
| Part A3 Application of the NCC in States and Territories Compliance with the NCC - This Part explains applying the NCC in accordance with State or Territory legislation. The NCC has legal effect through references in relevant... | State or Territory building and plumbing legislation. |
| Although the NCC is a nationally consistent code, there are some situations where a State or Territory enforces a | variation, addition or deletion to it. This Part also explains how these variations, additions and deletions apply. |
| A3G1 State and Territory compliance - For application within a particular State or Territory, the volumes of the NCC comprise inclusively of— | a) Sections A to G, I and J and associated schedules of Volume One; and b) Sections A and H and associated schedules of Volume Two; and c) Sections A to E and associated schedules of Volume Three |
| A3G1 State and Territory compliance - State and Territory variations, additions and deletions must be complied with in conjunction | with the NCC |
| A3G1 State and Territory compliance - The NCC is subject to, and may be overridden by, | State or Territory legislation |
| A3G1 State and Territory compliance - State and Territory variations, additions and deletions are contained in the following Schedules 1: | a) Schedule 3: Commonwealth of Australia. b) Schedule 4: Australian Capital Territory. c) Schedule 5: New South Wales. d) Schedule 6: Northern Territory. |
| A3G1 State and Territory compliance - State and Territory variations, additions and deletions are contained in the following Schedules 2: | e) Schedule 7: Queensland. f) Schedule 8: South Australia. g) Schedule 9: Tasmania. h) Schedule 10: Victoria. i) Schedule 11: Western Australia. |
| A3G1 State and Territory compliance - State and Territory variations and deletions are identified | throughout the NCC |
| Part A4 Referenced Documents - This Part explains how documents referenced in the NCC are adopted and applied. The NCC itself does not contain details of every design and construction requirement for a building or plumbing or drainage system | As such, the NCC calls upon or “references” other documents with this information. These are called NCC referenced documents. Examples of such documents are Australian Standards, ABCB protocols, ABCB standards and other publications. |
| There are multiple types of referenced documents. A primary referenced document is one referenced in Schedule 2 of the NCC. A secondary referenced document is one referenced in a | primary referenced document. Other referenced documents are referenced by secondary and subsequently referenced documents |
| A4G2 Difference between referenced documents and the NCC - The NCC overrules any difference between the NCC (including the ABCB Housing Provisions) and a | primary referenced document, including any secondary referenced document! |
| Referenced documents | (full list in Schedule 2) |
| A Standard is considered | an authority |
| Standards can also include | notes, recommendations and commentary |
| A building surveyor should check any | referenced Standard relating to the building they are assessing |
| NCC has precedence if there is any conflict between | NCC and Standard |
| Part A5 Documentation of design and construction - This Part explains the evidence needed to show that the NCC requirements are met and the solution is “fit for purpose”. It covers the use of materials, products, forms of construction and designs | It details separate requirements for the BCA and PCA. Examples of evidence to be prepared and retained include certificates, reports, calculations and any other documents or information showing compliance with the NCC requirements |
| A5G3 Evidence of suitability – Volume 1 & 2 (1) | Current CodeMark Australia or CodeMarkCertificate of Conformity |
| A5G3 Evidence of suitability – Volume 1 & 2 (2) | Current Certificate of Accreditation |
| A5G3 Evidence of suitability – Volume 1 & 2 (3) | Current certificate issued by a certification body |
| A5G3 Evidence of suitability – Volume 1 & 2 (4) | Report issued by an Accredited Testing Laboratory |
| A5G3 Evidence of suitability – Volume 1 & 2 (5) | Certificate/repot from a Professional Engineer or other appropriately qualified person |
| A5G3 Evidence of suitability – Volume 1 & 2 (6) | Other suitable documentary evidence e.g. Product Technical Statement |
| Part A6 Building Classifications - The NCC groups buildings and structures by the purpose for which they are designed, constructed or adapted to be used, assigning each type of building or structure with a | classification. This Part explains how each building classification is defined and used in the NCC |
| The building classifications are labelled | “Class 1” through to “Class 10”. Some classifications also have sub-classifications, referred to by a letter after the number (e.g. Class 1a) |
| A building may have parts that have been designed, constructed or adapted for different purposes. In most cases, each of these parts is a | separate classification. A building (or part of a building) may also have more than one such purpose and may be assigned more than one classification |
| The classification of a building or part of a building is determined | by the purpose for which it is designed, constructed or adapted to be used |
| Each part of a building must be classified according to its purpose and comply with all the | appropriate requirements for its classification |
| A room that contains a mechanical, thermal or electrical facility or the like that serves the building must have the same classification as | the major part or principal use of the building or fire compartment in which it is situated |
| Unless another classification is more suitable, an occupiable outdoor area must have the same | classification as the part of the building to which it is associated |
| CLASS 2 | Dwellings/apartments |
| CLASS 3 | Hotels/motels |
| CLASS 4 | A single dwelling in a Class 5 to 9 (eg a flat attached to, above, on the same lot as...a retail building, office, warehouse etc) |
| CLASS 5 | Offices - not class 6-9 |
| CLASS 6 | Retail shops |
| CLASS 7a | Carparks |
| CLASS 7b | Storage/display warehouse |
| CLASS 8 | Laboratory or factory |
| CLASS 9a | Health-care building |
| CLASS 9b | Assembly building such as schools, sports stadium |
| CLASS 9c | Aged care building |
| Rise in Storeys | The rise in storeys is a measure of likely evacuation times and evacuation difficulty |
| The rise in storeys generally means the | number of storeys above natural ground level |
| The rise in storeys is one criteria used to | determine the type of construction |
