1st edition, amendment 13


Effective on 1 June 2016 until 30 May 2017

 

Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods (AS and VMs) were called compliance documents. Some still have the “compliance document” title but the AS or VMs they contain are valid and unaffected by the name change.

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.
