CodeMark is a voluntary product certification scheme that provides an easily-understood and robust way to show a building product or building method meets the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code.
A CodeMark certificate must be accepted by Building Consent Authorities as meeting the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code, provided the certificate is current and the product or method is used in accordance with details noted on the certificate.
