NOTE:
Excessive residual moisture in a subsytrate may prevent fll curing of the membrane system or
may cause the membrane to prematurely fail. Further information on the suitability of a
membrane system can be found in the product specifications.
Strategies to mitigate higher RH percentage levels in the substrate include application of a
moisture barrier.
For guidance on testing for moisture content in subfloors, see Appendix F.

4.5.3 Membrane inspection A visual inspection shall be conducted prior to installation of any
overlaying finish in order to ensure the integrity of the membrane.
NOTE: The purpose of the visual inspection is to check for continuity of the membrane, and any
obvious installation defects such as pinholes, dry film thickness, adequacy of fillets, transitions,
bonding, and vertical termination heights, location and adequacy of waterstops.

Form 43
A QBCC licensee completes this form, if they have carried out the aspect work (or authorised under
the QBCC Regulation) that is subject to a building development approval for a single detached class
1a building or a class 10 building or structure.
The QBCC licensee must complete the form informing the building certifier how the aspect work
complies with the building development approval.
The QBCC licensee for the aspect of work may give this completed form to the building certifier or
competent person (inspections).
Competent person
(Section 10 of the Building Act 1975 and Part 6 of the BR 2021)
A building certifier must assess and decide to appoint an individual as a competent person before
they can, as a competent person, give inspection help or design-specification help. The building
certifier is required to keep detailed records about what was considered when appointing the
competent person.
A competent person cannot give inspection help to a building certifier until they have been
appointed by the building certifier. For further information about assessment of someone as a
competent person refer to the Guideline for the assessment of competent persons.
Inspection Help
(Section 34 of the BR 2021)
A building certifier must be satisfied that an individual is competent to give the type of inspection
help having regard to the individual’s experience, qualifications and skills and if required by law to
hold a licence or registration, that the individual is appropriately registered or licensed.

registered professional engineer.
(2) The inspection under subsection (l)(a) must be carried out in accordance with best
industry practice.
A person assessed and appointed as a competent person (inspections) must complete the approved
form (Form 12) and give it to the building certifier after they:
1) inspect the aspect of work; and
2) are satisfied the aspect of work has been completed and complies with the building
