Have your say on Building Product Specifications
Posted: 3 June 2025
This is the first edition of the Building Product Specifications. It contains specifications and standards for building products that are already known and used, such as windows, timber and cladding.
What the Building Product Specifications are for
The Building Products Specifications will:
- provide more choice of building products for use in Building Code compliant work
- incorporate a wider range of New Zealand and international standards into building compliance pathways (acceptable solutions and verification methods)
- make it easier and faster to add, update and modify building product standards in the Building Code system.
How your feedback helps
Your feedback will help MBIE know:
- whether you agree that the standards and other references proposed to be cited in the Building Product Specifications are appropriate for use in Aotearoa New Zealand, and
- if there are further additional standards or reference documents you would like to be considered for the next edition of the Building Product Specifications, which will be developed for consultation later this year.
How to have your say
The consultation is open now and closes 5:00pm, Monday 23 June 2025.
