Why HIA for Australian Standards
We are directly involved with Australian Standards development and have significant influence due to our prominent positions within decision-making bodies, including:
Building Codes Committee and Plumbing Codes Committee
The Australian Building Codes Board’s peak technical group which advises the Board on the NCC and indicates if standards are suitable for regulation.
SDAC: Standards Development and Accreditation Committee (SDAC)
A committee of Standards Australia, which sets policies and guidelines for developing, maintaining and publishing these standards.
HIA’s Australian Standards position
The National Construction Code (NCC) calls up over 1,400 standards through primary, secondary and tertiary references.
Our strong position on the regulatory scrutiny that standards should undergo is driven by our commitment to use our influence to serve our members' needs and ensure your challenges are recognised by the relevant regulators.
