Evidence of Suitability & Manufacturer's Installation Recommendations

• Subcontractors must provide evidence of suitability for approval during the design coordination stage. This will be as specified by the NCC and may include copies of test certificate, regulatory information report or assessment report, etc. Seek advice from your Project Certifier or Approving Authority if in doubt as to what is required.
• In addition to the requirements of the NCC, subcontractors must also provide the Manufacturer’s installation manual for the materials/systems being proposed. These documents are written based upon the specimens that the manufacturer has had tested/assessed, and sound engineering principals. Installation is to be identical to the manufacturers’ written installation details.
