Waterproofers, tilers and related service providers, as well as designers, engineers, manufacturers, construction workers and inspectors will find the standards included useful from the planning stage all the way through to maintenance.

Waterproofing and tiling set

Supporting the day-to-day work of roofers who work on tiled or slate rooves, this set includes guidance that covers the installation of terracotta, wooden shingles or slate tiles as well as standards relevant to timber trusses and damp coursing. Project managers, builders, carpenters, engineers and technicians will also find this set very useful.

Roofers who work installing metal, plastic or cement fibre rooves will find value in this set. Guidance regarding damp-proofing and flashings and glass in buildings, especially for skylights are also covered in this set. Project managers, builders, carpenters, engineers and technicians are also likely to find this set helpful.

The NCC Primary References Set contains the editions of the Standards as referenced in the NCC. In some instances, these are not the same as the current edition of the Standard subsequently published or updated by Standards Australia. New editions of Standards which are primary references in the NCC will only be included when the NCC is updated. From time to time, Standards may be subject to Amendments, in which case, the former content (including text, figures and equations) will be noted and the former content will be accessible within the various access types on the Standards Store. We recommend that users make their own enquiries as to which editions of Standards are referenced in the NCC or other relevant regulatory instruments at a specific point in time.
