1st edition, amendment 13
Effective on 1 June 2016 until 30 May 2017
Amendment 13, 1 June 2016 until 30 May 2017, to B1/AS1.
30 November 2016: Amendment 13 is confirmed in accordance with section 30 of the Building Act 2004. Amendment 13 was introduced on 1 June 2016 without prior public consultation, which subsequently occurred from 20 July to 31 August 2016. After considering feedback from this consultation, MBIE confirms Amendment 13 will continue in force. Reasons for this are:
- the potential for injury when structural glass barriers break unexpectedly
- an increasing use of structural glass barriers.
