Building code performance clauses
B2 Durability
B2.3.1
Building elements must, with only normal maintenance, continue to satisfy the performance requirements of this code for the lesser of the specified intended life of the building, if stated, or:
- (b) 15 years if: those building elements (including the building envelope, exposed plumbing in the subfloor space, and in-built chimneys and flues) are moderately difficult to access or replace, or failure of those building elements to comply with the building code would go undetected during normal use of the building, but would be easily detected during normal maintenance.
F2 Hazardous building materials
F2.3.1
The quantities of gas, liquid, radiation or solid particles emitted by materials used in the construction of buildings, shall not give rise to harmful concentrations at the surface of the material where the material is exposed, or in the atmosphere of any space.
G13 Foul water
G13.3.1
The plumbing system shall be constructed to:
- convey foul water from buildings to a drainage system,
- avoid the likelihood of blockage and leakage,
