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.

Provides a code of practice for the design and acceptance of timber structures and elements, and includes design methods and design data appropriate for commonly encountered structural elements and materials and requirements to be met for specification of the design, installation and maintenance of timber structures.

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.

Specifies requirements for construction practices for masonry in buildings of Class 1 and Class 10a, as defined in the National Construction Code (NCC), designed in accordance with AS 4773.1 and to be constructed from clay, concrete, or calcium silicate masonry units.

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.

Written in compliance and consistency with Codex Alimentarius Volume 10.

Provides minimum requirements for construction, equipment and rendering operations prescribed in this Standard.

Deals with the selection, installation and finish of thermal insulation for pipework, ductwork, tanks, vessels, and equipment in the temperature range -75 degrees Celsius to +800 degrees Celsius, but excludes manufactured pre-insulated equipment, structural insulation of buildings and cold stores, fireproofing structures, refractory linings of plant, airborne installations and all external underground mains.

Specifies the design criteria and sets out guidance for use in the design of earth-retaining structures, for use by engineers and designers.

Sets out procedures for the selection and installation of glass in buildings, subject to wind loading, human impact, and special applications. Glass strength is specified, based on the tensile stresses on the surface of the glass.
