Appendix - explanatory information

IMPORTANT NOTE: a competent person who knowingly or reasonably suspects the information they are giving to the building certifier
is false or misteading, including the information contained in this certificate {Form 16), commits an offence and is tiable to a maximum
penalty of 100 penalty units.

Who can complete this certificate? (sections 10 of the Building Act 1975 (Building Act) and 53(2) of Building Regulation 2021 (BR 2021).
This form must be completed and signed by a building certifier for the work or another building certifier or the appointed competent
person (inspections) — the inspecting persons.

When is a Form 16 needed?

This form is to be completed when an inspecting person inspects a stage of assessable building work, as stated in a notice for
inspection and is satisfied that all relevant aspects of the stage of work have been completed and comply with the building development
approval for the work.

The inspection time for a stage of work is to be agreed between the builder and building certifier and must be carried out by the
inspecting person in accordance with best industry practice.

\f satisfied the stage is comptiant the inspecting person must give the builder for the stage of work the completed and signed Form 16.
The regulation requires the inspecting person to provide the reasons why they are satisfied all aspects of the stage are completed and
compliant, including any tests, specifications, rules, standards, codes of practice or other publications relied upon when making the
assessment.

The inspecting person may rely on an aspect certificate from an appointed competent person (inspections), (Form 12 - Aspect
Inspection Certificate) or a QBCC licensee (Form 43 — Aspect certificate (QBCC licensee)).

Restrictions for who can sign a Form 16 (section 46 of the BR 2021)

For a single detached class 1a building and class 10 buitding or structure (excluding swimming pools and swimming pool barriers) only
the building certifier for the assessable building work, or another building certifier, can sign the certificate of inspection (Form 16) for
the following stages:

¢ ifthe building is to have footings (footing stage) — the stage of the building work that is after excavation of foundation material but
before the placement of formwork, reinforcement for the footings and the pouring of the concrete for the footings

° ifthe building is to have a slab (slab stage) — after the placement of formwork and reinforcement for the slab but before the concrete
for the slab is poured

e the final stage of the work.

Nothing prevents a competent person (inspection) who is not a building certifier from giving inspection help for an aspect of a stage
mentioned above. However, for a single detached class 1a building the building certifier must not accept an aspect inspection certificate
for all aspects of the final stage.

The relevant building certifier can also use another building certifier to inspect the stages mentioned above, without assessing and
appointing the person as a competent person.

For the footing or slab stages of the building or structure, a building certifier may appoint a Queensland registered professional
engineer as a competent person to inspect aspects of work for this stage. While the building certifier can accept a competent person’s
aspect inspection certificate — Form 12 as part of their compliance assessment for the stage of work, it remains the building certifier’s
responsibility to complete and sign the Form 16 for the three stages of work mentioned above.

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 design-specification help. The building certifier is required to keep detailed records about what was considered when appointing a
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 hetp (section 34 of the BR 2021)

A building certifier must be satisfied that an individual is competent to give the type of inspection heip 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.

For further information about conducting inspections for class 2 to 9 buildings, refer to the Guideline for inspection of class 2 to 9 buildings.

For further information about conducting inspections for detached class 1a and 10 buildings or structures refer to the Guideline for
inspections of class 1 and 10 buildings and structures.

Additional information
Itis considered good practice for a building certifier or appointed competent person who is accepting and relying on this form and any
attached certificates i.e. aspect certificates, to check the information or details contained in the form.

This form is also the inspection certificate to be used for temporary swimming pool fencing.

Form 43 — Aspect certificate (QBCC licensee) — for aspect work for a single detached class 1a building and class 10 buildings and

structures a building certifier or the appointed competent person can accept and rely on Form 43, the approved form from a QBCC
licensee with the appropriate licence class that the work is compliant with the building development approval.
