Building codes

The NNC code is in three volumes: 

  • Volumes One and Two: Building Code of Australia (BCA) Volume One covers Class 2 to 9 buildings. Volume Two covers Class 1 and Class 10 buildings (houses, sheds, carports, etc.).

  • Volume Three: Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) This volume covers plumbing and drainage associated with all classes of buildings. 

First-time users need to register for free (create a personal account) to access, download and print NNC online content. See: https://ncc.abcb.gov.au/user/register

Australian standards

Note:

  • Due to licensing restrictions, only 20 RMIT users may access SAI Global at a time. If you experience trouble accessing the database, please try again later.
  • The FileOpen plugin is required to open downloaded standards within a PDF reader, such as Adobe Reader. Please download the FileOpen plugin from: https://rmit.libguides.com/c.php?g=336430&p=6832672.
  • If you open and view the PDF standard within a web browser window, you do not need the FileOpen plugin.
