Sets out the design methods, assumptions and other criteria, including uplift forces and racking pressures, suitable for the design of timber-framed buildings constructed within the limitations and parameters of, and using the building practice described in, AS 1684.2, AS 1684.3 and AS 1684.4.

Sets out requirements for the design of nailplated timber roof trusses for residential and similar building applications in accordance with AS1720.1, AS4055 and the AS(/NZS)1170 series.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Recommends design criteria for conditions affecting the acoustic environment within building interiors to ensure a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for the occupants and the users.

Defines and provides methods for determining single number quantities for the impact sound insulation in buildings; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-2:1996.

Provides a method for the measurement of airborne sound reduction index to building partitions such as walls, floor/ceiling assemblies, doors, windows and other space dividing elements.

Specifies requirements for the building industry with procedures that can be used to determine building practice, to design or check construction details, and to determine member sizes, and bracing and fixing requirements for timber-framed construction in non-cyclonic wind classifications N1 and N2. Also referred to as the timber framing code.

This Standard specifies requirements for building practice and the selection, placement and fixing of the various structural elements used in the construction of timber-framed Class 1 and Class 10 buildings as defined by the National Construction Code; the provisions of this Standard also apply to alterations and additions to such buildings; this Standard is to be used in conjunction with the Supplements to this Standard.

Specifies requirements for the construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and combinations of the three attack forms.

Provides the building industry with procedures that can be used to determine building practice, to design or check construction details, and to determine member sizes, and bracing and fixing requirements for time-framed construction in cyclonic area.
