- Learn how to do a building risk assessment and understand building safety administration/planning
- Gain key considerations for facility hardening
- Understand tactical considerations such as video surveillance and access control
- Expand your library of resource materials including website links, document downloads, and checklists for planning and implementation
I-Codes in Oceania
I-Codes in Oceania
International Code Council (ICC) technical experts are available to provide advice or develop reports that assess the applicability of International Code (I-Code) content to local requirements as input to a Performance Solution in the case of Australia, or Alternative Solution in New Zealand.
While not the mandated building codes in Australia and New Zealand, the I-Codes and ICC Standards may contain evidence that can be used to demonstrate compliance with the Performance Requirements of the Building Code of Australia and New Zealand Building Code.
The I-Codes and ICC standards can also be used or adapted for use by Indo-Pacific nations that may have less well-developed building regulations, and which can also access ICC training for capacity building.
With over 100 years of impact, ICC is the leading global source of building safety solutions that help ensure safe, affordable and sustainable buildings and communities worldwide.
This is achieved through the ICC Family of Solutions, at the heart of which are the suite of 15 International Codes (I-Codes). ICC facilitates the development of and publishes the I-Codes, which are the most widely trusted building codes, adopted throughout the US, and adopted, adapted or referenced in jurisdictions worldwide. ICC also develops international standards through a WTO-compliant process.
Oceania – WaterMark
WaterMark
Through its Plumbing, Mechanical and Fuel Gas (PMG) program, ICC-ES is accredited by the Joint Accreditation Service of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ) as a Certification Body (CB) to provide plumbing product certification for WaterMark under the Plumbing Code of Australia (Volume Three of the National Construction Code).
As part of its service ICC-ES conducts qualifying and surveillance inspections to authenticate certified products and their process of manufacture, and provides a listing service to enable designers and plumbing contractors to access the certificate for compliance purposes.
The WaterMark Certification Scheme is owned by the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments in Australia and is administered by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB).
WaterMark Certification Scheme
Under the scope of its international accreditations, ICC-ES can conduct plumbing and drainage product evaluation to AS/NZS 3500, a joint standard developed by both Australia and New Zealand.
In Australia, WaterMark is a mandatory certification scheme for certain types of plumbing and drainage products, principally those that come into contact with the potable water supply. ICC-ES is accredited by the Joint Accreditation Service of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ) to conduct certification to the WaterMark scheme.
In New Zealand, plumbing and drainage systems must be constructed using materials and products fit for their intended purpose to achieve the relevant requirement of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC). WaterMark Certification can be accepted as proof of compliance with NZBC.
Lead-Free Plumbing Products
As part of the 2022 edition of National Construction Code Volume Three (Plumbing Code Australia), to be adopted on 1 May 2023, the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) has limited allowable lead content in plumbing products that contain copper alloys and are intended for use in contact with drinking water, to a weighted average lead content of no more than ≤ 0.25%. This requirement is to be accompanied by a transition period to enable industry time to have new and existing products certified to conform to NSF/ANSI/CAN 372. From 1 May 2026, these provisions will be in effect, and only products that conform to the new requirements will be authorised for installation in Australia.
CB Accreditation
Certification Bodies (CBs) are accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ) for the WaterMark Scheme, which operate in accordance with scheme rules the CBs are required to follow.

Oceania – Evaluation Service Appraisals
Evaluation Service Appraisal Reports
With over 90 years of experience in evaluating the performance and suitability of building products, ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) is an industry leader and the most widely accepted evaluation agency in the US.
ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are Accepted Globally
International Scope
Evaluation Service Reports (ESRs) are widely accepted internationally, including in North, Central and South America, parts of the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. These reports can be used to demonstrate compliance with building codes and standards, particularly where prescriptive standards do not exist for new and innovative products. The products that receive ESRs are evaluated for compliance with Acceptance Criteria, a normative document that is developed by ICC-ES’ technical experts and reviewed and approved by an independent panel of building regulators in the United States.
Australia and New Zealand
In order to specifically address the need for robust assessment of innovative building products and systems in Oceania, ICC-ES can now expand upon the ESR process to incorporate an additional review to requirements of the Building Code of Australia (Volumes One and Two of the National Construction Code) and the New Zealand Building Code. In Australia and New Zealand, these Evaluation Service Appraisal reports (ESAs) can be presented to building surveyors to provide evidence of suitability.
The product evaluation schemes used to produce both ESRs and ESAs have been independently accredited by American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).
How ICC-ES Can Help
Building Regulators
If you are a building regulator, ICC-ES can tell you about products, systems, materials and methods that are code compliant. For more information about the rigor of our system, request to download and review our e-book.
Manufacturers
If you are a manufacturer, a report from ICC-ES will make it easier to market your building-related product, because you have solid evidence that your product meets code requirements. The report on your product is available for those involved in specifying products to review, as well as other construction industry professionals, free of charge, online.
Designers
If you are a designer, architect, builder or specifier and you want evidence for the local building official that you are using code-complying products, look for an Evaluation Service Appraisal report! You may also have an innovative design for which no Deemed to Satisfy or Acceptable Solution exists. The International Codes (I-Codes), used by jurisdictions throughout the United States and around the world, may offer off-the-shelf technical content for which ICC-ES can provide an expert opinion for use in a Performance or Alternative Solution.
General Public
If you are a member of the general public, you too, benefit from the work of ICC-ES because ICC-ES actively promotes public safety in the built environment. Additionally, you can use ESAs to help in selection of building products for your own home or other property.
