New building standards for non-combustible external walls
There are several changes to WA’s Building Regulations that are designed to help prevent the spread of fire via external walls.
This in-depth article answers some of our members’ most pressing questions about the update, including: what type of buildings are affected? What is Verification Method CV3? Do the changes affect existing buildings?
Generally, compliance is all about adhering to the NCC’s rules as outlined in Volume One. In this case, there are additional provisions to mitigate the safety risk of fire. Regulation 31HA is focused on external wall performance in the instance of fire and requires the building meets the NCC Performance Requirement by following Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions. Learn all about the code, other Performance Solutions and more in this useful resource.
