NCC Compliance Structure

1. The term Performance Solution was formerly known as Alternative Solution


2. The terms Performance Solution and Deemed-to-Satisfy Solution were formerly used under
the term Building Solution.

Preface: The Role of Waterproofing


The role of waterproofing is to install waterproofing systems as a combination of waterproof and
water-resistant materials to retain water within the designated wet area and exclude water from
non-water-resistant building elements.

It is intended that water be managed to an outfall at surface and substrate.

Systems are intended to accommodate expected service conditions of the wet area to prevent
damage by water and accumulated moisture to building elements.

NCC 2022 Volume 1 - Class 2 to 9


Objective Statement F2O1 Wet areas
The objective of this part is to:
a) Safeguard occupants from illness or injury and protect buildings from damage caused by—
i. internal water from wet areas; and
ii. the accumulation of internal moisture in the building; and
iii. protect other property from damage caused by redirected internal water from wet
areas
