Releasing a new building product to market

Suppliers are obliged to offer a product that is fit for purpose. That means abiding by technical standards and requirements before they can release a product to market.
{{ tag.label }} {{ tag.label }} $vuetify.icons.faTimes

Any supplier wanting to release a new building product to market must meet a set of strict criteria. These criteria include conformance with the National Construction Code and Australian Standards.

What are suppliers’ obligations? And how can they demonstrate that their new product conforms with relevant building legislation?

This resource provides guidance to suppliers in exactly this situation. Suppliers are obliged to deliver a product that’s fit for purpose and that means providing information to potential buyers about National Construction Code (NCC) and Australians Standards conformance, plus any relevant warranties and support services.

Suppliers need to have performed the necessary research and development for releasing a new building product to market. And they need to understand:

  • what the product will be used for (and how it shouldn’t be used)
  • whether it conforms to the NCC
  • what factors need to be considered when demonstrating conformance
  • how evidence of suitability can be presented.

Find out all you need to know to deliver a new product that is safe, practical and approved for use.
