Product assurance and certification schemes
MBIE administers three voluntary certification schemes in Aotearoa New Zealand.
CodeMark
CodeMark is a voluntary product certification scheme that is an unchallengeable form of product assurance. Building consent authorities must accept a CodeMark certificate as evidence of compliance with the Building Code, as long as the product is used in accordance with the use and limitations defined on the certificate.
BuiltReady
BuiltReady is a voluntary certification scheme for manufacturers of modular components. Manufacturers who meet robust quality standards and criteria can apply for certification under the BuiltReady scheme. Building consent authorities must accept a manufacturer's certificate as evidence of that modular component's compliance with the Building Code.
MultiProof
If you want to build the same or similar building design many times, you could consider applying for a MultiProof approval. Find out how this national multiple-use approval scheme works, how to apply, and what you need to provide to show a set of standardised plans and specifications complies with the Building Code.
