Common use of QUALITY BUILDING MATERIALS Clause in Contracts

QUALITY BUILDING MATERIALS. 38.1 The Parties recognise the complex issue of non-conforming building products (NCBPs). NCBPs are building products about which false claims have been made as to their quality and purpose or do not meet required standards for their intended use. A building product is non-conforming if, in association with a building, the product: 38.1.1 is not, or will not be, safe; 38.1.2 does not, or will not, comply with relevant regulatory provisions; or 38.1.3 does not perform, or is not capable of performing, for the use to the standard represented. 38.2 The Parties recognise that domestically sourced and manufactured conforming building products are less likely to create the above conditions and accordingly wish to maximise the use of domestically sourced and manufactured building materials by the Employer. 38.3 The Employer will only use products in building work that comply with relevant Australian standards published by, or on behalf of, Standards Australia in accordance with the National Construction Code. 38.4 In order to maintain compliance with the Code, and in line with other regulatory requirements, the Employer will maintain records in accordance with relevant legislation. 38.5 The Employer will, within seven (7) days of receiving a written request from an Employee, provide a copy of the records which it is required to keep.
