What is CodeMark?

​

CodeMark is a voluntary product certification scheme that provides an easy-to-understand and robust way to show a building product or building method meets the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (the Building code).

​

CodeMark is suitable for any building product or method but is particularly beneficial to manufacturers and suppliers of products that are innovative, new to the market or would have serious consequences if they failed.

CodeMark certified products are 'deemed to comply' with the Building Code.

CodeMark is an unchallengeable form of product assurance.

It has legal status equivalent to that of an Acceptable Solution or Verification Method.

Building consent authorities (BCAs) must accept a CodeMark certificate as evidence of compliance with the Building Code and cannot require an applicant to provide further evidence of compliance provided the certificate is current and valid, and the product or method is used in accordance with the scope and limitations as defined on the certificate.

CodeMark certification has robust quality assurance framework that goes all the way back to the manufacturer of components and has on-going product or building method auditing requirements to ensure quality and compliance with the building code is maintained in accordance with the claims on the certificate.
