Pursuant to section 24(1) of the Building Act 2004
("the Act"), I give notice of proposed amendments to
the G12 Water Supplies ("Compliance Document G12").
The first proposed amendment is the inclusion of an Acceptable Solution G12/AS2 for Solar Water Heaters ("proposed G12/AS2").
Proposed G12/AS2 has been consulted on (as notified in the New Zealand Gazette, 16 November 2006, No. 137, page 3997) but has been amended and therefore is open for further public comment.
The second proposed amendment includes a consequential change to Acceptable Solution G12/AS1 ("proposed G12/AS1") from proposed G12/AS2 and additional amendment.
Proposed G12/AS2 and G12/AS1 can be downloaded free
of charge from the Department of Building and Housing ("DBH") website
