The Standard sets out requirements on installing insulation in both new dwellings during construction and the retrofitting of insulation in existing buildings.

This Standard is intended for residential-type construction; however, the methods may be appropriate to other forms of construction.

This Standard includes requirements for electrical safety and guidance on Work Health and Safety.

This Standard is not intended to apply to the insulation of building services and equipment or materials with structural and/or external cladding or internal lining purposes.

This Standard does not deal with insulation that is foamed in situ nor the installation of pliable building membranes except when forming part of a bulk insulation product.

Insulation installed for the sole purpose of reverberation control is excluded from this Standard.

For the purposes of this Standard, bulk insulation also includes products which create multiple airspaces with a total installed product thickness greater than 20 mm.
