Building industry codes of practice
We encourage industry groups to create their own guidance and codes of practice for the use of their products. These need to complement and comply with our Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods.
Below are some examples developed by the industry:
Code of Practice for weathertight concrete and concrete masonry construction
The Cement and Concrete Association of New Zealand (CCANZ) provides weathertightness solutions for conrete and concrete masonry buildings.
The Building Code clause E2 External Moisture references this Code of Practice in Acceptable Solution E2/AS3.

Code of Practice for Reinforced Modified Bitumen Membrane (RMBM) systems for roofs and decks
